1) The film focuses heavily on a moral condemnation of capitalism. Do you agree with that approach? Many Marxists prefer what they call a scientific critique of capitalism? Which do you prefer? Which is more effective in touching the experiences of working-class people?
2) How does the film explain the development of the “middle class” in the mid-20th century? What conditions saw the improved standard of living for many working class people?
3) The film notes the Reagan era as a dividing line between the rise of the “middle class” and its current decline. What policies did Reagan usher in and why? What were the results?
4. Corporations repeatedly claim that cutting jobs will allow them to save money and stay in business. Why does this not seem to work much in the examples detailed in the film?

please respond with. 280. words
People come from different parts of the world and represent different backgrounds, cultures, beliefs, and practices. There are also negligible differences between peoples physically. The basic blood types are the same for all different groups (A, B, AB, and O). Mental capacity and learning potential are the same for all different groups. There are individual differences concerning honesty, integrity, compassion, violent tendencies, laziness, criminal inclinations, etc. From these statements is it possible to construct a credible theory of race? Where did the idea of race come from? Is it scientific? Explain. Is it nonsense? Explain.

Please respond with 400 words. MLA. style We can gain insight into the artwork of a culture by better understanding the stories they tell. Additionally, we can understand a work of art by understanding its iconography. To understand iconography allow us to ‘read’ an artwork. Look for characters found in these stories which connect to the images and objects from our class (Ex. Inanna, Ishtar, Gilgamesh, Osiris).
In a cohesive academic essay, choose one of the following ancient works of literature (poetry, mythology, religious texts) to read and respond to. These are some of the oldest works ever recorded, dating to around 2000 BCE. Some elements may sound very familiar; some elements will be very strange. Most of these works are fragmentary (some parts are missing), so doing additional research (like a Wikipedia search) is crucial to understanding these works.
Include a brief summary of the work. Include a few quotes from the text, so the reader can get a sense for the flavor and content of the work. Try to connect subjects of the stories to the artworks from our class. Most importantly in your response, what do you think of this work? How does this story compare to some of the stories we tell today? Can you relate to the theme(s) presented in this ancient work of literature? Try to connect subjects of the stories to the artworks from our class.Titles of artworks should be in italics or use quotation marks. You should mention the artwork in the conclusion.
Choose one of the following literary works from the Ancient Near East and Ancient Egypt to write about in a cohesive academic essay:

MIND MAP or GRAPHIC ORGANIZER (1 PAGE) AND WRITE UP (3 FULL PAGE SUMMARY)
ASSIGNMENT:
One of the main themes of this course is how eco-social justice issues are connected. In this unit we had a quick introduction to the idea that animal rights and women’s rights are connected. How true is this argument? To what extent are the rights of animals and women connected? Why are they connected?
Instructions
Answer the questions: To what extent are the rights of animals and women connected? Why are they connected?
Remember that a “to what extent” argument is asking you to make a judgement about “how much” – a little, somewhat, significantly, a lot? Back up your arguments with examples.
Research these questions after reviewing what you already learned in this unit. Some good Google searches to get you started are:
i. Ecofeminism
ii. Animal rights and feminism
iii. Animals and female oppression connections
STRUCTURE OF ASSIGNMENT IS IN THE FORM OF A MIND MAPPING
ON A SECOND PAGE COULD YOU do a write up explaining the mind map in 2 page summary explaining the information so it can be verbally presented.
