1. The definition of anarchism is the belief in the abolition of all forms of government. Goldman saw marriage as repressive for men and women because a form a government such as a judge, minister, court, or body of people are basically declaring that two people are in love and can love one another legally. Goldman also saw marriage as repressive for women because the woman normally give up her last name when married, which is a sign of submission to a men. 2. Being legally married would be…
After a night of rain, in the early morning, a man exits his humble abode. He stretches in the light and begins to walk into his large yard where an equally large garden resides. The man produces his own fruits and vegetables that he feeds his family with. He collects rainwater for his family to use, and he even owns a cow. He lives in a neighborhood created by the people, and those people work with each other. His children go to a school created by the people, and others have volunteered to…
Comparing myself with my fellow friends, I can consider myself to be lucky enough to be able to travel to almost every prominent country and city such as Paris, Japan, Singapore and so forth. Most of them are for accompanying my father doing his business. Importantly, I learned that regardless how countries are well developed, they differ from each other when it comes to cultural context. Therefore, based on my wide experience, I prefer to live in a collectivist country for the many benefits…
Individualist vs Collectivist An individualistic culture is one where individuals value and appreciate their freedom and personal independence (McLean, 2010). Often times the individual will require some assistance, but the outcome still comes from the individual themselves. In an individualistic culture individual rights take center stage, independence is highly valued, dependency is looked down upon, and people are self-reliant (Cherry, 2016). People tend to be strong, assertive, self-reliant…
Dilip Chitre creates a stark impression of the isolation of old age in his poem ‘Father Returning Home’ by showing his fathers’ estrangement from society and his own family. Chitre conveys this isolation by using literary devices such as similes and repetition, and addressing themes such as modernity vs tradition. The poem begins when a father is waiting outside for a train which will take him home. We know this as it says ‘My father travels on the late evening train’. Already by labelling the…
The name of my group’s country is Marmicnicno, it simply represents the names of each of the founding members. While establishing the background of our country we decided that we wanted our citizens to have political, economic, and religious freedoms, but we also wanted to take a risk on a government system that is not commonly used. At the conclusion of that, our government of choice was an anarchist. While anarchy is typically defined as lack of government, Marmicnicno still has a system of…
solid conclusions, Triandis has worked to attribute distinct characteristics of behavior to different cultures. Through three main studies, he has found that certain behavioral and personality traits can be associated to either a collectivist or individualist culture. A collectivist culture values the goals and needs of a larger group, an ingroup in which one belongs, over the goals and needs of an individual. Adversely, an individualistic culture values the well-being and success of an…
the real alternative to create a better world. It was after 1840, when Pierre-Joseph Proudhon used the term to describe his political ideology that the term gained legitimacy (Ward 2004, p 1). Despite being one of the oldest political ideologies, anarchism has failed to gain sustained appeal among the masses. As the idea of overthrowing the state or a stateless state is largely seen as unrealistic. Anarchist ideas have never been at the base of national…
Nishita Aggarwal PGDJ14106 Individualist anarchists and collectivist anarchists have more in common with one another than they have with neoliberalism. Discuss. Anarchist ideology is defined by the central belief that political authority in all its forms, and especially in the form of the state, is both evil and unnecessary because order and social harmony can arise naturally and spontaneously, and do not have to be imposed ‘from above’ through government (Heywood, A. 2007 p 175). During the…
Emma Goldman Emma Goldman in the “Gilded Age,” was a woman of progressive thought. She was an outspoken advocate for anarchism in speeches throughout the United States and in many anarchists papers. We found many of her ideas expressed in her own pieces of writing called the “Anarchism and Other Essays.” The purpose Goldman was trying to make through her essays was to contextualize the anarchist theory by placing it firmly within the economic, social, and political reality of…
