.... upward social mobility. The current educational system creates a unique paradox. While traditionally the best way to climb the ladders of society, American schools are now reproducing social classes. Those children born into poor families and neighborhoods usually begin their school career at a steep disadvantage. Public schools that are run down and lack sufficient funding or other key resources like good teachers are endemic to these lower income areas. The idea of class reproduction, or the correspondence principle, is obviously present in education. As mentioned above, differences between schools and school districts exist. In his article on the inequalities of pub ....

.... Postal Service to continue as a monopoly. The first time there was talk of privatizing the Postal Service was in 1979 when the Postal Service was losing vast amounts of money in the long run. But since the Postal Service is a necessity for America, the government had to subsidize the service in order for it to continue in operation. In 1979 the United States Postal Service had a cash flow of $22.5 Billion and was additionally receiving $176 million from investing(United States, Intro.). Even with this added revenue the Postal Service was still greatly under funded on its own (United States, Intro.). During this time it was discussed to privatize the postal service and in ....

.... of private property, the enemy of the proletariat. In fact Marx's writing on estranged labor is a repudiation of private property- a warning of how private property enslaves the worker. This writing on estranged labor 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 labor) and how it limits freedom. For Marx man's freedom is relinquished or in fact wrested from his true nature once he becomes a laborer. This process is thoroughly explained throughout Estranged Labor. This study will reveal this process and argue it's validity. Appendant to this study on alienation there will be a mic ....

Another difficulty the shoe industry has is getting its stock value to rise again because all but Nike and Fila's stock has dropped.

.... of this. The UN estimates that Mobutu stole about four billion from the International Monetary Fund. This amounts to almost half of all the foreign aid received by Zaire between 1970 and 1994. Amazingly, the IMF was well aware of the expropriation of its funds, yet continued to lend Zaire money. Why, we don't know. Mobutu used most of this money to buy lavish estates in France and to establish huge secret bank accounts in Switzerland, Luxembourg and elsewhere. He also kept himself in power through bribes and by buying military support. The US alone has spent over twenty billion dollars in the past twenty years. Between surplus tax dollars and the money we would save from no ....

.... However, it must be understood before the reader continues, the process unravelling before our eyes today, this disaster, is not a recent occurrence. Some economists and political analysts have dated its"birth" to the start of the Russo-Japanese war and the industrialization of the African colonies (imperialism). This being the case, though imperialism is primarily considered a political phenomenon by bourgeoises economists, socialists have cooked deeper into the matter and "unveiled" the economic character of imperialism and it's apparent contradictions (this will be dealt with later, as well as an overview of the historic contradictions, economic intricacies and ethi ....

.... get membership in the system. Other banks may be insured if they meet qualifications for the insurance. In 1989, the FDIC received all the functions from the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corp. (FSLIC). Now the FDIC controls two separate deposit funds, one, the Bank Insurance Fund for commercial banks, and the other, the Savings Association Insurance Funk for thrift institutions that were previously insured by the FSLIC. When an institution is closed by chartering authority, the FDIC makes payment of insured deposits to all of the failed institution’s depositors as soon as possible, usually on the next business day after the closing of the institution. The deposit ....
