Marx and Weber within Religion
Marx and Durkheim jointly cover the nucleus of the sociological thought on various issues. They encompass the major issues within the sociological tradition. Religion remained their favorite sociological subject and their have speculated over the issue in the modern sociological context. Marxian reflection on the sociology of religion is very limited whereas Durkheim has contributed largely on the philosophical and sociological issues pertaining to religion.à Marx is considered as an avant-garde sociologist on the concept of religion. Being influenced by Hegel's philosophy, Marx considers religion is a manifestation of ââ¬Å"material realities and economic injusticeâ⬠. Therefore, he labels problems in religion are eventually ultimate social problems. Most of the Marxian thought on the sociological aspects of religion is reflected in the quite a few opening paragraphs of his ââ¬Å"Contribution to the Critique of Hegelââ¬â¢s Philosophy of Right: Introduction.â⬠These are the same passages that include his widely quoted pronouncement on religion, that ââ¬Å"it is the opium of the people.â⬠Nevertheless, this statement by Marx can not be taken as demonstration of Marxian religious view. It is often misquoted devoid of its context. Marxââ¬â¢s starts his essay ââ¬Å"Contribution to a Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Rightâ⬠with such words; ââ¬Å"For Germany the criticism of religion is in the main complete, and criticism of religion is the premise of all criticism.â⬠(Marx 1964B: 43) This raises the concerns why Marx has pronounced religious criticism as the essential element of all criticisms. The basic factor that compelled Marx to declare religious criticism as the basic form was the magnitude of significance that religion holds in the lives of humans. Now the question arises why Marx has declared the criticism of religion as he basic of all criticisms. John Macmurrary considers that it was the acknowledgement of historical judgment on the part of Marx. It was an illustration of his understanding on the social function of religion. He says in this regard; By criticism, in this phrase, we must be careful to understand what Marx understood by it, not the blank denial of religion, but the historical understanding of its necessity and function in society, which leads to its dialectical negation when its function is completed. Marx meant that the understanding of religion was the key to the understanding of social history. (Macmurrary 1935: 219) Mckown reinforces the same understanding like Mcmurray that Marx deems religion as a useful social tool and this thinking developed as profound analysis of social history pertaining to religion. But Mckown further emphasizes that this statement has too much generalization. (Mckown, 1975. p.46) Marx further asserts that religion is the production of social evolution and its serves society and state in several ways.à He does not eulogize religion but consider it of vital importance for layman as it enriches their lives with sense of worth. He says in this regards; Religion is, indeed, the self-consciousness and self-esteem of man who has either not yet won through to himself, or has already lost himself again. But man is no abstract being squatting outside the world. Man is the world of manââ¬âstate, society. This state and this society produce religion, which is an inverted consciousness of the world, because they are an inverted world. Religion is the general theory of this world, its encyclopedic compendium, its logic in popular form, its spiritual point d'honneur, its enthusiasm, its moral sanction, its solemn complement, and its universal basis of consolation and justification. It is the fantastic realization of the human essence since the human essence has not acquired any true reality. The struggle against religion is, therefore, indirectly the struggle against that world whose spiritual aroma is religion. (Marx, 1964) Appraisal of religion is primary as religion creates the inverted delusions that the religion world i.e life hereafter, deities etc. is factual and that the material world is a shadow of that real life. So in his criticism of ââ¬Å"religionâ⬠, he hit any religion that capsizes the physical world from being the primary reality. As an acquittal from his explicit attack on, Marx lessens his negative perception by evaluating the foundational purpose of religion in this way; ââ¬Å"Religious suffering is at the same time an expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the sentiment of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.â⬠Marxââ¬â¢s religious viewpoint is not sympathetic toward religion and he does not consider it an extra-human phenomenon. But he is of the view hat religion is a product of society in order to provide solace to the distressed people. It was the mechanization of the poor to create an illusory world for themselves to create an escape from harsh realities of life. So he thinks that abolition of religion is necessary to eradicate the illusory world and create an environment for their real happiness. He says that religion is not a malady in itself but it is the indication and the remedy (simultaneously) of that malady i.e. religion is an expression and solution to a more fundamental happiness. So Marxian assertions about religion are not negative as they are often understood and interpreted. It manifests that Marx has a ââ¬Å"partial validation of religionâ⬠until a suitable economic system does not remove the causes that created it. Marxian idea of religion derives its strength from his idea of ââ¬Å"alienationâ⬠. He think hat it was ââ¬Å"alienationâ⬠[1] that dehumanize the individuals and religious opium comes as a minimum resistance by the exploited people that provides illusory hope against the real exploitation. Another Marxian critic, Norman Birnbaum (1969), interpret this phenomenon in his way, to Marx, ââ¬Å"religion is a spiritual response to a condition of alienation.â⬠(p.126) Illustrating the ultimate and real purpose of religion (contrary to the view of the commom folk), he further exaplin Marxian view; ââ¬Å"Religion was conceived to be a powerful conservative force that served to perpetuate the domination of one social class at the expense of others.â⬠(Ibid 127).â⬠So this a cause and effect phenomenon as this illusory hope of common and exploited folk further distoirts the socio-economic condition and in this way self-alienation of individual oincreases with more reliance on religion. Raines[2] sums up the Marxian sociology of religion in this way; ââ¬Å"Like the Hebrew prophets of old, Marx knew that to speak of social justice we must become socially self-critical, and that means becoming critical of the ruling powersââ¬âwhether they be kings or priests or investment bankersâ⬠¦. For Marx, all ideas are relative to the social location and interests of their production. And like the prophets before him, the most revealing perspective is not from the top down or the center outward, but theâ⬠¦point of view of the exploited and marginalized. Suffering can see through and unveil official explanations; it can cry out and protest against the arrogance of power.â⬠(Raines) To Durkheim, religion was a social phenomenon that originates directly from the social needs of a society but he considers it an essential regulating force that shapes and determines the consciousness of a society. But its most important purpose is social cohesion. A close analysis of history by Durkheim[3] reflected that religion is a valid and vital force that binds the individuals and societies together.à Describing Durkheim motives o study religion on a broader level, Lewis Coser write in his monumental work ââ¬Å"Maters of Sociological Thoughtâ⬠; Durkheim's earlier concern with social regulation was in the main focused on the more external forces of control, more particularly legal regulations that can be studied, so he argued, in the law books and without regard to individuals. Later he was led to consider forces of control that were internalized in individual consciousness. Being convinced that ââ¬Å"society has to be present within the individual,â⬠Durkheim, following the logic of his own theory, was led to the study of religion, one of the forces that created within individuals a sense of moral obligation to adhere to society's demands. (Coser, 1977. p. 136) Durkheim main concern was trace down the social origin of religion. the sociological interpretaion of religion. Fot this purpose, he tried to comprehend the basic forms of social religions. Heà illustrated that Australian Toteism is the most rudimentary form of a religion. He considers that it was the basic social necessity of the social entity that compelled that group to devise a religious activity. Further explaining the social origin of religion, Durkhein says that religion is an epitome of social cohesion. To Durkheim, society was not a mere collection of individual but is has other internal and external dimensions. Internally, it is the substantial device that moulds our beliefs and attitudes while on the external horizon, it exerts and maintains pressures from the society to facilitate conformity to the above-mentioned collective beliefs and attitudes. For these two purposes, it devised the religious activity. He thought that the absolute purpose of religion is to enable people to show a willingness put their invidual interests and personal propensities and to put interests of society ahead of their own. So it capaciates the people to get ready for a cohesive social life. Ultimately, if individuals want to be happy, so they must regulate their individual needs and aspirations and their propensities must be confined into limits. This regulatory role must thus be executed by an external agency superior to the individual i.e. by society. Both these feature of social facts explains clearly that society is an independent entity that works for the collective benefits and dies not surrender to individual proclivities and requirements. Religion acts as social tool for this regulatory role of society. Religion internalizes that regulatory process and individuals act on that as an obligation. Durkheim consider religion as ââ¬Å"society divinisedâ⬠because religion only acts in the social domain. Durkheim observes god of divine manifestations of it as society itself. He takes god in the functional perspective and attributes functional traits to god and further links these characteristics to social phenomenon. For example, he says that ââ¬Å"god is first of all a being that man conceives of as superior to himself in some respects and one on whom he believes he depends. â⬠¦ Society also fosters in us the sense of perpetual dependence. â⬠¦ Society requires us to make ourselves its servants, forgetful of our own interestsâ⬠. (Elementary Forms for Religious Life, p. 208-209). Durkheim deems religion as ââ¬Å"a unified system of beliefs and practices relative to sacred things, that is to say, things set apart and forbiddenââ¬âbeliefs and practices which unite into one single moral community called a Church, all those who adhere to themâ⬠(Elementary Forms for Religious Life, p. 47). He makes an important distinction in religious domain that is based on the separation of human experiences i.e. profane and the Sacred. Profane is the dominion of mundane life experiences i.e. routine work, daily life activities etc. This sphere has an ultimate utilitarian approach. The sacred realm constitutes of no-mundane experiences that includes he recognition of a non-empirical authority and non-utilitarian activities.à He says in this regard; A society whose members are united by the fact that they think in the same way in regard to the sacred world and its relations with the profane world, and by the fact that they translate these common ideas to common practices, is what is called a Church. In all history, we do not find a single religion without a Church. (Elementary Forms for Religious Life, p. 44) So a superior fusion of profane and sacred life makes the social cohesion that is necessary to put the civilization on the path of progress and prosperity. He describes the social association as an incarnation of relation between individuals and divinity. Coser says in this regard; ââ¬Å"Religion is eminently social: it occurs in a social context, and, more importantly, when men celebrate sacred things, they unwittingly celebrate the power of their society. This power so transcends their own existence that they have to give it sacred significance in order to visualize it. (Coser, 1977. p. 136) Durkheim does not support Comteââ¬â¢s assertion that humans must endeavor to create a new ââ¬Å"humanitarian cultâ⬠based on the rational principles. Durkheim like Marx does not suggest an abrupt ending to religion but reinforces the Marxian that it should work until an appropriate alternative does not replace this vital sociological tool. He says in this regard, ââ¬Å"We must discover the rational substitutes for these religious notions that for a long time have served as the vehicle for the most essential moral ideas.â⬠(Moral Education, 1961. p.9) Coser sums up the religions ultimate function as described by Durkhein, in this way; Finally, religion has a euphoric function in that it serves to counteract feelings of frustration and loss of faith and certitude by reestablishing the believers' sense of well-being, their sense of the essential rightness of the moral world of which they are a part. By countering the sense of loss, which, as in the case of death, may be experienced on both the individual and the collective level, religion helps to reestablish the balance of private and public confidence. (Coser, 1976. p.139) So Both Marx and Durkheim consider religion important social tools that give purpose and meaning to the human life.[4] Both consider the values of world religions i.e. intrinsic value and dignity of human perspective an important element but Marx views it as a toll of the oppressor to perpetuate its practices and to provide a fictitious idealism of human dignity to the common folk.à However both consider institution of religion as an imperative social necessity hitherto.

Work Related Application for XpertRule and Ethical Issues The range of applications for XpertRule system to manufacturing, marketing, and sales is so wide. The system is wide ranging as helping a banker in making financial decisions to helping university advisors and university students to plan and schedule appointments. For example, in a financial service industry, XpertRule system can be used by bankers as an advisory system to help make decisions on whether to make a loan available to individuals or businesses. Globalization and modern technology have created competition in the financial industry and these competitions come with risks. Therefore, risk management in the financial industry is important. So persuading superiors in a financial industry such as in a bank, would not be so difficult because risk management is needed in credit, operations, and market. Risk management in banks does not only involve planning and backup but also technical assistance that helps bank managers take quick action and manage all risks (Mali Kulkarni, n. d). This would help increase quality, reduce error, decrease manpower, security system in banks, increase speed for complex tasking, increase customer service, and improve decisions (Mali Kulkarni, n.d).

Your response needs to be informed by your background knowledge in world history, but it must be finalized by means of your knowledge of the given context. From that point, you would attempt to demonstrate that the action which you're claiming to be unethical somehow violates that moral obligation. When picking a definition, bear in mind that there are plenty of kinds of ethical arguments and that the manner in which you argue for your specific claim depends in large part on how you define your terms. From that point, your task for a writer would be to demonstrate that the action which you're claiming is ethical improves human well-being.

Effects Of Advertising On The Food Industry - 1059 Words
Every kid has turned on the television in their house and has seen a commercial for their favorite cereal. Theyââ¬â¢ve also seen the same cereal on the shelves of stores and begs mom to buy it for them.

Marketing executives for cereal companies design and advertise the cereal boxes and commercials for child amusement. They appeal to children by showing them pictures of their favorite flashy super heroes, heroines, television stars, or animated cartoon characters. The executives either never mention or are very discreet about the side effects or other problems that the cereal may cause, such as obesity from eating super sugary cereal. Market executives are great at exhibiting the pros of cereal but not the cons.

While other motives did exist, such as to colonize, to search for new markets and materials, to attain revenge and world prestige, to convert natives to Christianity, and to spread the English style of orderly government, the main motives evident in many events of the period showed attempts to safeguard the country and protect former land holdings. As its free trade and influential relationship with Africa was threatened, Britain began to turn trade agreements into stronger and more formal protectorates and even colonies. Britain acted to protect the route east and its connection with the Indian Empire. Rather than to expand the British Empire, Britain fought battles over territory to prevent French or German control in Africa. Britains imperialist involvement in the scramble for Africa occurred in response to the actions of the French and even German. Britain had a history of African trade agreements and, compared to its European counterparts, the highest degree of control in Africa. France and Britain began an earnest race for the Niger in 1883, agreeing then to divide the territoryLagos to Britain and Timbuktu for France. This did not neutralize the competition, however. Britain had to act in Nigeria (1885) and Nyasaland (1891) to protect existing spheres of commercial and missionary activities. Frances strategy to declare its right of occupation and then seek negotiation further urged Britains aggressive maintenance of territory. The British annexed Bechuanaland (1885) partly to guard against the Germans; partly to prevent its absorption by the Transvaal, which would have increased the power of the Boers. (Faber 57-58) Later, in 1888, the French threatened the Britain dominated Nile Valley, hinting they might divert the water of the Nile to render the area useless. In East Africa the British had strategic motives to protect the Suez Canal and the route to the east. As the scramble exploded in the 1880s, Britain was suddenly challenged for her right to trade and conduct financial and military business. The prime object was defensive in the eighties, as it had been under Disraeli: the prevention of serious inroads on British power; the anticipation of other powers, when strategically necessary, in the Scramble for Africa; the protection of the route to India and the East. The safety of the Suez Canal had already become a cardinal point of British policy. (Faber 57) The first showdown over the route to the east between Britain and France occurred in Egypt. French pride over a new Egyptian canal, built in 1869, was soaring. It was abruptly grounded in 1875, however, by a surreptitious British purchase of the majority share in the Suez Canal. A dubious balance of power was achieved through duel Anglo-French control of Egypt. Britain was able to prevail over France during the Egyptian Crisis, as the French government did not allow French involvement in smothering the rebellion. This afforded the British a chance to re-establish their role in world military dominance. These conflicts were clearly not for the purpose of monetary gain on Britains part. The Economist observed in 1892 that East Africa was probably an unprofitable possession; it was primarily for strategic reasons that the government held on to it. By 1893, France was still not reconciled to Britains role in the Nile Valley. They tried to follow through on earlier threats to divert the headwaters of the Nile to devastate the valley. An expedition headed by Jean-Baptiste Marchand finally departed in 1896 and marched from the west coast to Fashoda, a city on the upper Nile. Britain responded to rumors of this expedition by ordering that an army lead by Herbert Horatio Kitchener conquest the Sudan in order to protect the Nile from the French. How to Succeed as a College Student EssayBritain and France teetered on the brink of war, which was finally avertedby careful handling by both Marchand and Kitchener. Britains action in South Africa helpedto protect their connection to the Indian Empire. They officially annexedSouth Africa in 1877, recognizing this might lead to a reduction of Britishresponsibilities South Africa. It was also important that they maintaintheir control to keep other powers from getting a foothold. The Boer Warended in 1902, while the Transvaal was given self-rule by Britain 1906. Britain was not an instigator in the scramblefor Africa, but rather a reactionary nation who responded to the actionsof other forces. As French and German forces threatened loose trade deals,Britain set up protectorates and colonies. As British holdings in Egyptand in East Africa were threatened, Britain fought to maintain its power.

Trifles by Susan Glaspell An Investigation of The Murder of John Wright Essay Example
Trifles by Susan Glaspell: An Investigation of The Murder of John Wright Paper The short story Trifles written by Susan Glaspell is a story regarding the investigation of the murder of John Wright by his wife, Mrs. Wright. Mrs. Hale is the wife of Mr. Hale, one of the men investigating the murder, and the neighbor of the Wrights. While the men investigate around the farmhouse looking for clues to prove Mrs. Wright was guilty, Mrs. Hale is downstairs with Mrs. Peters discovering their own evidence in the mishaps of Mrs. Wrights cleaning and sewing. Mrs. Hale begins to reminisce on how cheerful and full of life Mrs. Wright was prior to her marriage. She regrets not visiting with Mrs. Wright throughout the years especially since they were neighbors. Upon finding the unfinished quilt and the empty bird cage, they discover a dead canary with a strangled neck, the same way Mr. Wrightââ¬â¢s neck was strangled. She begins to see the reasoning for Mrs. Wright murdering her husband. She concludes that Mrs. Wright was unhappy with her marriage and possibly neglected. She decides to keep this information between her and Mrs. Peters instead of informing the men of their findings. Why would Mrs. Haleââ¬â¢s change in view of Mrs. Wright make her justify the reasoning behind why she murdered her husband? Maslows Hierarchy of Needs is a theory developed by Abraham Maslow to understand human motivation to fulfill our peak potential. It is described as a model which is divided into our basic needs (physiology, safety, love and esteem) and our growth needs (cognitive, aesthetic, and self-actualization. ) (McLeod, 2007) Saul McLeod believes that one must satisfy lower level basic needs before progressing to meet higher level growth needs.

After entering the Wright house, which is now a crime scene for the murder of Mr. Wright, Mrs. Hale is left alone downstairs with Mrs. Peters while the men go upstairs to find evidence to prove that Mrs. Wright murdered her husband. Upon engaging in conversation Mrs. Haleââ¬â¢s cognitive need becomes apparent when they inspect the knitting on Mrs. Wrights quilt. Mrs. Hales states ââ¬Å"Mrs. Peters, look at this one. Here, this is the one she was working on, and look at the sewing! All the rest of it has been so nice and even. And look at this! Itââ¬â¢s all over the place! Why, it looks as if she didnt know what she was about. â⬠(Glaspell, 666). Mrs. Hale suspects that something could have caused the negligence of her stitching, She asks Mrs. Peters ââ¬Å"What do you supposed she was so nervous about? â⬠(Glaspell, 666) She seemed intrigued, insinuating there may have been a reason which drove her to murder her husband. Mrs. Hale is staggering on the cognitive level which is preventing her from progressing on to the next level of aesthetic because she is not concerned with her own needs to express herself in a pleasing way, But to express Mrs. Wright in a more pleasing way and not as some horrific murderer. Mrs. Hale goes on to explain to Mrs. Peters; ââ¬Å"I wish youââ¬â¢d seen Minnie Foster when she wore a white dress with blue ribbons and stood up there in the choir and sang. â⬠(Glaspell, 670) She wants Mrs. Peters to view Mrs. Wright in the positive way that she was prior to her failed marriage. This actually shows her regression down to the love and belonging level. Towards the end of the play she realizes that she has been so busy in her life that she had neglected her friend in a time of need. She regrets not visiting her, stating that ââ¬Å"I wish Iââ¬â¢d come over here once in a while! That was a crime! That was a crime! Whoââ¬â¢s going to punish that? â⬠(Glaspell, 670) She feels guilty for not realizing that Mrs. Wright needed help. She tells Mrs. Peters ââ¬Å"I might have known she needed help! I know how things can be-for women. I tell you, itââ¬â¢s queer, Mrs. Peters. We live so close together and we live far apart. â⬠(Glaspell, 670) Mrs. Hale wishes she had been a better friend to Mrs. Wright and by doing that feels that could have helped prevent the murder from even happening. Maslows Law is a good theory to represent the understanding of Mrs. Hale, it signifies the importance of better understanding why she acted as she did. We use Maslows Law of Hierarchy Needs to better understand what motivates us to reach our full potential. According to McLeod, ââ¬Å"progress is often disrupted by failure to meet lower level needs. (McLeod, 2007) Because Mrs. Hale had begun to care for her old friend, after trying to figure out what caused her to become a murder, She had regressed back down to the love and belonging level, Thus preventing her from progressing to the aesthetic level.
