Marx's blog

1. Marx says there are 3 basic levels of society:

a. Conditions of production: Natural conditions or resources available to society. The foundation of any society determines the nature and culture of society.

b. Society's means of production: Tools, machinery and raw material found there.

c. Society's production reactions: Division of labor or distribution of work.

3. The image that has the national resources on it explains the conditions of production. This is becuase the more natural resources a society has the more things it can produce and the more things it produces this will determine the society's culture and the society's nature.

The image that has all the tools represents the society's means of production. This is becuase a society uses the tools it has to work on the natural resources and to produce things. without the tools you can't produce anything even having a lot of natural resources.

The diagram there respresents the division of labor. In order for a society to be organized it has to divide it's labor. In this way the society can produce more things and all of them will funciont perfectly.

4. I am going to connect Marx's basic society to history and the arts.

a. History: The division of society made by Marx can be connected to history because throught many years many countries have fought for land and consequently for natural resources. The country that has more natural resources, has more means of production and is more developed. For example: The Spaniards came to america and colonized many parts of it due to the gold or the other natural resources it had. In this way they exported this new things to europe and europe became more developed becuase it's commerce increased.

b. The arts: It can be connected to the arts because many artisits use the natural resources as a model for what to paint or draw. The natural resources inspire the artists to create things that are more creative and more natural.

Descartes blog

1. I really agree with Descartes way of thinking. Descartes says that we cannot accept anything as being true unless we actually perceive it. He also says that in oreder to understand something we must break it down to simple things and go from the simple to the complex ones. I agree with this because you cannot fully understand something if you don't live through that experince or thing. I aslo agree that you have to break down things and start by analyzing the simple ones that may be the cause of the problem and then analyze the complex ones that may be the real problem.

2. I will conect Descartes philosophy to Mathematics and to history.

Mathematics: In mathematics in oreder to understand the math problems you really have to perceive them, get involved and study them. if you don't pay attention in class you will not perceive the information and you will not understand anything. In math you start by leraning the simple ideas and the simple problems. Those serve as a base for when the time comes and you start learning the complex ideas.

History: In history we learn things that happened in the past. History can be really biased so sometimes to fully understand things that happened in History we would have to live through them. for example is very difficult to understand completely world war 1 and it's causes since we didn't live in that time and we don't know completely what people were living through. In history we start by learning the events that happened before the real event. Which may be the cause. then we learn the consequences of the cause. For example when we learned ab0ut the Holocaust first we learned about Hitler and his childhood and his life before becoming the Nazi dictator and then we learned about what happened during the holocaust.

3. This picture shows the ghettos of the holocaust. this supports my explanation becuase you understand this by breaking up the information. You start form the simplest idea and then you end with the more complex one.

In this math picture you can see all the important math symbols you learn in your life. This is divided into 4 groups and they go in order from easiest to hardest. This is also supporting the idea that you perceive things and understand things better by breaking them down and learning first the simple ones and then the more complex ones.

Aristotle Post

1. Aristotle's view on women:

Aristotle viewed a women as an "unfinished man". He believed women were incomplete in some way. He said that in reproduction woman is passive and receptive while man is active and productive; this is why the child inherits only male characterisitcs. He believed that the man provides the "form" and the women provides the "substance" in their children.

2. In my opinion Aristotle's philosphy on women connects back to History. I believe that aristotle's view on women is kind of male chauvinist. He views women in an inferior way. So this can be connected to history becuase many years ago women were seen as inferior, ans still now a days in certain countries and in certain religions women are male dominated and are seen in an inferior way.

3. Two years ago in summer I went to Morocco on vacations. In mulsim countries women are viewed as an inferior sex. They cannot work, they need to stay home and they are obligated by their husbands to dress up entirely in the black dress covering up everything including their face. this is a global issue now a days, not only in Morocco are women treated this way. Their are many countires in africa, other muslim countries that women are treated inferiorly and are dominated by their husbands.
