Week 3 - Blog 2: Ch 6 – Critical Theory

I give praise to Karl Marx for not only researching the roots of labor and its capitalism, but for also giving tyranny or tyrants a name—“bourgeois sensibility.” Violent overthrowing of company owners and governments have been going on since the early ages, when man first called himself “king.” Today, we still hear about Karl Marxism theories being put into action in the workplace. If you have ever seen the movie “office Space” or “Fight Club,” the characters of these movies embody what it means to overthrow tyranny and change the ever so notorious “machine” within corporate jobs. These are rare instances, although their impact on society is huge, they are eye-openers, so to speak. The historical and cultural background of those who worked and fought for fair labor practices are the unsung heroes of today who have paved the way for women’s and minority’s rights.
