Assignment: Due 3/14

Assignment: Due 3/14 Choose a scene from M and interpret the scene and explain why you picked this scene.

In 1931 the film M was released and produced by Nero-film studio. It was about murder investigations of young child mostly girls. Being the fact the killer got away with a lot of murders of young innocent children made it hard for the judicial system to catch him. During this time a lot of the people in the Judicial system, and police department received criticized from the residents who lived in Germany. The killer who ran the streets of Germany was so organized at making it hard for anyone to find him, and looked bad on the homicide department. The homicide department received a lot of criticized from angry residents in Germany. It was a rough time for Germany and frighten the parents and children.

I was very interested in the sense because it explain the time the departments in the criminal justice field when thought. Children's lives are important more of all because they have their life ahead of them. The more children that are taken away from society takes away from the up coming generation making a better society,and a better place for others to live.

Assignment (Due 3/21 )

Assignment (Due 3/21 ): Please choose a passage from one of Luxemburg's essays. Write out the passage. Explain the meaning of the passage and how it relates to politics today.

One thing is certain. The world war is a turning point. It is foolish and mad to imagine that we need only survive the war, like a rabbit waiting out the storm under a bush, in order to fall happily back into the old routine once it is over. The world war has altered the conditions of our struggle and, most of all, it has changed us. Not that the basic law of capitalist development, the life-and-death war between capital and labor, will experience any amelioration. But now, in the midst of the war, the masks are falling and the old familiar visages smirk at us. The tempo of development has received a mighty jolt from the eruption of the volcano of imperialism. The violence of the conflicts in the bosom of society, the enormousness of the tasks that tower up before the socialist proletariat – these make everything that has transpired in the history of the workers’ movement seem a pleasant idyll.

In this passage Luxemburg's breaks down the crises that is going on among countries. She reinforces that we should adapt or change to different behaviors because if we don't a bigger war will happen. She explains the war has to change us and in order for us to be happy we have to fall back into our old routines. A lot of countries feel that other countries should adapt to their political beliefs. By going to war the country feels they are more in control and have more power. Due to the all the world that occurs between countries effects and changes the condition of how people live in modern day society.   

assignment of 4/18

Assignment Due 4/18 Choose a passage from Weber, write out the passage. Then explain the meaning of it, and then explain why you chose this passage.

Rationalization of politics does not mean that freedom, justice, or equality is increased. It refers only to the ability for political decisions to be carried out with increased effectiveness.

       The term rationalization was profound by Max Weber who was a German anti-positivist. He depicted rationalization within the western society and thought out the world. He practiced in modern society development with a point of view of rationalization. Rationalization consisted of different structures. One function was of organization cores of the capitalist enterprise, and of bureaucratic state. According to Weber in the term Rationalization of politics the word jurist is someone who is trained in manipulating the rules and procedures of the legal system. In modern day society lawyers are a perfect example because lawyers have technical skills with machinery of the government.  

      I choose this passage because I believe that rationalization plays a huge role in how society works today and mainly the government. Its very important that we as people understand the works of rationalization because we live in this society where it effects how we live and how the government and politics work.
