Words: 1839 - Pages: 7.... of how private property enslaves the
worker. This writing on estranged labour is an obvious point of basis for Marx's
Communist Manifesto.
The purpose of this paper is to view Marx's concept of alienation (estranged
labour) and how it limits freedom. For Marx man's freedom is relinquished or in
fact wrested from his true nature once he becomes a labourer. This process is
thoroughly explained throughout Estranged Labour. This study will reveal this
process and argue it's validity. Appendant to this study on alienation there
will be a micro-study which will attempt to ascertain Marx's view of freedom
(i.e. positive or negative). The stu .....

Margaret Sanger
Words: 5022 - Pages: 19.... is not the case; in fact, by all accounts was a brave crusader who recognized freedom and choice in a woman's reproductive life as vital to the issue of the liberation of women as a gender. Moreover, after years of being blocked by opposition, Sanger also recognized the need to shift political strategies in order to keep the movement alive. Unfortunately, misjudgments made by her in this area have left 's legacy open to criticism. In this paper, I would like to explore 's life and career as well as become aware of some of the missteps that she made and how they reflect on both.

first discovered by Lenin, when Stalin is sent to Georgia to convince the
Georgia leader not to practice self determination. When the leader does

threaten to kill them all.
Years after that incident Lenin end up dying and Stalin takes over

influential political figures in Russia, Stalin becomes the leader of
Russia even after Lenin's dying last wishes.

Thomas Sterns Eliot (1888 - 1965)
Words: 1228 - Pages: 5.... (1915). Actually the Love song is the
beginning of the Waste Land. The Waste Land is in 5 parts, so it is more of
a story in poetical form.
In the Love Song, Eliot actually sounds a bit like a optimist,
quite frankly though his own “waste land”steps in half way through. This is
his only poetic work I like. But it will never be at the top of any of my

his honey, the girl he is in love with. In this poem Eliot uses a lot of
visual imagery, he is very good with his adjectives and brings such a happy
correlation of thought into a grim reality he would call his .....

skin disease he had in youth). Also, he tended to slobber, which made him
humiliated and extremely sensitive to criticism. All these childhood
factors added up and left Andrew Jackson as a touchy, irascible man.
As the oldest man ever elected to the presidency, he was sixty-one
and perhaps the most unhealthy. He had two bullets permanently lodged in
him, and often spat up blood because of them. Many missions of Andrew
Jackson's were self-righteous and stubborn. By his victory at the Battle
of New Orleans, where he killed many Native Americans, he gained enough
