I like a lot the picture you chose f...Hello Sara, <br /><br />I like a lot the picture you chose for your journal. It summarizes very well how we have to adapt to other people's wills and how we spend our lives doing what other people want. I think this image expresses the idea of the "freedom" we "enjoy" in our lives. <br /><br /><br />Here you have my corrections: <br /><br />First, I haven't done my journal on time. I'm so sorry but I haven't been in my house until now.<br />Today in the class of Social Sciences, Paqui has started the class writing the scheme about <b>M</b>arxism on the blackboard to explain it after<b>wards/ later</b>.<br />I ha<b>ve</b> suggested Paqui a <b>delay</b> about the <b>deadline</b> of the work which we have to give on Monday, she definitely has said <b>no</b> because we have had a lot of time to prepare it, and I understand her.. So, Paqui has started to explain the main ideas about <b>M</b>arxism:<br />Class stru<b>g</b>gle --> between bourgeois and workers in the 19th <b>century</b>.<br />Proletaria<b>n</b> revolution as a consequence of the working conditions in capitalism. <b>The revolution would have two stages :</b>Dictatorship of the proletariat and communist society<br />Need <b>for</b> workers' organization --> many workers' parties and unions <b>were created</b><br /><b>The impoverish</b>ment of workers <b>would make the revolution inevitable</b><br />Surplus value --> profit the workers produce, but don't enjoy.<br />Workers' alienation <br />Then, we have talked about surplus value because we didn't know <b>its meaning</b> in Spanish and Paqui has explained <b>it to </b> us. And now, I can say that I know what surplus value <b>is</b>. It's like you have to work a lot and you produce a lot of product<b>s</b> and these produc<b>es</b> money but you only receive a little part of this production, because the rest is for the boss. In my opinion, it's not fair because I would like to earn the money that I have <b>produced</b>. But the boss is the boss and you can't reply <b>to</b> him, but there are other ways to <b>run</b> a factory thinking in the workers, obviously.<br />After this we have talked about anarchism and freedom and we have given our opinion of freedom and if we think that we are free. I think that we are free between quotation marks because you can choose some things but after you will do what someone says. I don't know how <b>to</b> explain this. But <b>to sum it up</b>, we aren't free (in my opinion). So, anarchism <b>wants to make people recover freedom</b>. Anarchism is a political ideology which means "without gove<b>rnm</b>ent" (not chaos).<br />Today's class has been so interesting for me, these are important themes. And <b>as</b> Paqui has said, we have to think about it.<br /><br /><br />That's all. I'm happy with the fact that you enjoyed the lesson!<br /><br />Bye!Paqui Pérez Fonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09825244803602259869noreply@blogger.com
