For example, hunter-gatherer societies may seem poor because the people have few possessions, but in fact these societies enjoy a kind of material plenty just by attributes of being unlimited by things that interfere with their mobility. Traditionally, people who subsisted from their land can easily pack up and move to a richer area when needed. Many hunter-gatherer societies also used the technique of slash-and-burn to create fields for agriculture.

The term, progress, is synonymous with phrases that denote moving forward, growth, and advancement. It seems unorthodox then that Ronald Wright asserts the world has fallen into a progress trap, a paradox to how progress is typically portrayed as it contradicts the conventional way life is viewed: as being a natural progression from the outdated and tried towards the new and improved.

The “Sociological Imagination” contrived by C. Wright Mills defines that every individual is deeply connected to society as a whole, thus we are all in turn shaped and affected by society.

(Mills, 1959) When I look at my life, I think that it is clear to see that my personality and circumstances have been influenced by social constructs. Being a second generation Canadian with a biracial background, my life has been

Chapter 4 – Explaining Globalization Scholte briefly examines six differing theoretical approaches to explaining globalization – what are they? What is the central theme of each?

The character of Bartleby in Herman Melville’s novella “Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall-Street” is a person who refuses to become an object in capitalistic society. Initially, he is the perfect example of the objectification and mechanization of humans in the workplace. In essence, Bartleby is a machine that continually produces. Ultimately, he begins to resist the mind numbing repetition of his tasks and the mechanization of his life. The other main character, the narrator, is a facilitator

The overall theme for Adam Smith was that capitalism benefited everyone that was involved. His invisible hand idea meant that goods and services were automatically allocated to those who needed them most and us was efficient enough to run on its own. Karl Marx did not see it this way.

although social change is inevitable in the eyes of Marx, it is at the same time not the only thing happening. Rather, Marx is hinting that there is an underlying theme that constantly remains the same. Simply put, this is the conflict between the capitalist and the worker, leading to the next issue to be covered in this paper.
