Ask an interperetive question on the basis of it. You should bring the quote that is related to your interpretive question.

A factual question has only one correct answer, but an interpretive question has more than one answer that can be supported with evidence from the text. Interpretive questions keep discussions going and require the reader to refer back to the text.

An interpretive question calls for a careful assessment of what the author means in a work. To decide whether a question is interpretive, you should try to think of two different answers to it, based on evidence from the text. The question should express genuine interest, doubt, or curiosity. You do not necessarily have to know the answer to your question!]]> 2021-02-24 06:01:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mbodnaruk/xin0846a3ze625jw/wish/1234782702 https://padlet.com/mbodnaruk/xin0846a3ze625jw/wish/2044433381 In Karl Marx's The Communist Manifesto, he was discussing the proletarian as the lowest class in a capitalist society and how different his social relations were to that of a bourgeois, which strips him of any self characteristics even with nationality, and then Marx directly follows it up with, "Law, morality, and religion, are to him so many bourgeois prejudices, behind which lurk in ambush just as many bourgeois interests" (33).

What is the link between the bourgeois and social relations outside of economy?

He discusses the introduction of machinery and the way jobs are organized. While doing that, an interesting moment catches my attention. He says: “as the repulsiveness of the work increases, the wages decrease” (30). This was interesting since it should be the other way around based on the basics of economics. So a question here emerges, how is it tgat when people do not want to work a certain job the wage for it will decrease?]]> 2022-02-13 14:39:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mbodnaruk/xin0846a3ze625jw/wish/2044601644 https://padlet.com/mbodnaruk/xin0846a3ze625jw/wish/2044607087 In Karl Marx’s The Communist Manifesto, the author is talking about the modern bourgeois society, and the overproduction problems that might happen in these societies. It is stated by Marx that, “In these crises there breaks out an epidemic that, in all earlier epochs, would have seemed an absurdity--the epidemic of over-production. Society suddenly finds itself put back into a state of momentary barbarism; it appears as if a famine, a universal war of devastation had cut off the supply of every means of subsistence; industry and commerce seem to be destroyed; and why? Because there is too much civilisation, too much means of subsistence, too much industry, too much commerce” (Marx 29). One thing that caught my attention in this passage is that the author believes that what causes this might be that there is ‘too much civilisation.’ What does Marx mean by that, and how can there be too much civilisation in a society?]]> 2022-02-13 14:46:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mbodnaruk/xin0846a3ze625jw/wish/2044607087 https://padlet.com/mbodnaruk/xin0846a3ze625jw/wish/2044612212 How the goals of Communism such as the exploitation of class to another have an impact on historical development, such as economic? ]]> 2022-02-13 14:52:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mbodnaruk/xin0846a3ze625jw/wish/2044612212 nicolassous https://padlet.com/mbodnaruk/xin0846a3ze625jw/wish/2044613757 2022-02-13 14:54:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mbodnaruk/xin0846a3ze625jw/wish/2044613757 https://padlet.com/mbodnaruk/xin0846a3ze625jw/wish/2044617459 The Communist Manifesto advocated for workers’ rights by identifying oppressive systems used by the bourgeoisie and suggesting a revolutionary path. Marx discusses the condition of the capitalist ruling class and the way in which they’ve utilized historical milestones to further their own interest. He says that “modern industry has converted the little workshop of the patriarchal master into the great factory of the industrial capitalist” (Marx, 30). From this claim and social observations, what connection can we draw between the patriarchy and capitalism?]]> 2022-02-13 14:58:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mbodnaruk/xin0846a3ze625jw/wish/2044617459 https://padlet.com/mbodnaruk/xin0846a3ze625jw/wish/2044809329 “The modern bourgeois society that has sprouted from the ruins of feudal society has not done away with clash antagonisms. It has but established new classes, new conditions of oppression, new forms of struggle in place of the old ones” (p.25)
What does the Communist Manifesto say about how the proletariat evolves as capitalism progresses and as the revolution unfolds?]]> 2022-02-13 18:16:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mbodnaruk/xin0846a3ze625jw/wish/2044809329 https://padlet.com/mbodnaruk/xin0846a3ze625jw/wish/2044971577 “The bourgeoisie cannot exist without a continuous revolution in the instruments of production, and therefore in the relations of society.  On the contrary, the preservation of the old patterns of production unchanged was the first condition for the existence of all previous industrial classes.  The constant revolution in production, the constant upheaval of all social conditions, the constant uncertainty and agitation, all distinguish the bourgeois era from all previous ones.” (page27)
So, what is the difference between bourgeoisie and the Previous industrial classes? and, What kind of revolution can happen?]]> 2022-02-13 21:18:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mbodnaruk/xin0846a3ze625jw/wish/2044971577
