In both artists work, we have a division of classes which can be described as proletariat and bourgeoisie. The first common thought most people have about these two groups is separation because of difference. In Gustave Courbet’s “The Painters studio” and Karl Marx “Communist Manifesto” we can definitely see these two sides exist .For

“All previous ruling classes have been exploiting classes” (Freeman 5). Joseph Freeman’s, American writer, Introduction of Proletarian Literature on the United States discusses how proletarian literature has been used throughout history. Freeman talks about “art” is the major instrument when it comes to class struggle and the weapon of choice of proletarians. By art, he is talking about literature, and not literature written by a bourgeoisie and on how he/ she thinks proletarians are but the true

abhorrent and as disgraceful as oppression is (and has been), oppression has played a beneficial role for the elite members of many societies.

And in doing so, Vertov wanted to include the proletariat in this new wave of film that was previously dominated by the bourgeoisie and their aesthetics. The proletarians did not understand bourgeois films, they were not drawn into the story because they could not look over the fact that the actors were

In this essay I will attempt to apply the sociological perspective to analyze song lyrics from the first verse of the song My Block by Tupac Shakur (see appendix for lyrics). Tupac (1971-1996) is the most famous gangster rap artist of all times. He was well known for his lyrics and their ability to express the grief of the Black community.

Socialism, as defined by the parameters of the post revolution into the pre industrial period, was nearly universally marked by the race to empower the working class. Yet, within this broad brush of socialism, Karl Marx, Robert Owen, and Gracchus Babeuf differed in their views of how capitalism must be combatted and how a new society should be formed.
