Abstract
This paper discusses the Agile Manifesto, a conceptual framework for software development. The paper focuses primarily on Martin Fowler, one of the pioneers of the Agile Manifesto and one of the gurus of design patterns. The paper discusses how Fowler is able to emphasize the importance of this methodology in writing software.
From the Paper
"Although Fowler strives to achieve simplicity in his software design and development, other critics view the simplistic approach "as not realistic (Fowler, 2006)" and then on the other hand, a rebuttal can be made by stating, "but if you make it too complex then people have to understand a bunch of stuff that's nothing to do with the pattern in order to understand the pattern. (Fowler, 2006)" Still, Fowlers style promotes an easier understanding of any system and renders the output as usable, reusable and understandable not only to other developers by the lay users as well. Like a well written English literature, Fowler divides his pattern work into the Alexandrian form wherein (Fowler, 2006)"

Abstract
This paper discusses project management and several causes of project failure. At the core of these reasons for project failure are communication issues within the project. These issues are related to software development methodologies and how Agile Development is becoming more effective for software and program development than tradition project management structures. Finally, Microsoft is noted as well-known adoptee of Agile Development methodologies with its use of the Scrum method as well as a host of other Agile Development techniques.
From the Paper
"Projects and project management are of singular importance to any business enterprise because they form the nexus of the primary activity of the business. Without projects and project management, no work would be completed or, at best, limited work of questionable quality would be the result. Researchers have observed that one of the most basic causes of project failure is a lack of real-time updates and poor visibility into ongoing tasks (Oates, 2006, para.2). While traditional project management has always recognized the need for periodic updates to both executive management as well as line employees regarding a project's status, contemporary project management recognizes these periodic updates as outdated and not suited to the technological environment within which most organizations operated today."

Abstract
The paper discusses the the relationship between gender and family to politics and class and how they impact the Manifesto. The paper explains that the Manifesto was authored over 150 years ago and was a blueprint plan for communism. The paper shows how relations between class and politics and gender and family are clear through the teachings Karl Marx imparts in the Manifesto. The paper discusses how Marx and Friedrich Engels accuse the bourgeoisie class of not respecting family values or females. The paper explains that the family of the bourgeoisie class will self destruct; true strong family values and respect of females as a gender will eventually rise up and overpower the bourgeois class to provide a world of equality, family love and peace.
Outline:
Introduction
Class and Politics
Family
Conclusion
From the Paper
"According to the Manifesto the development of the new social classes occurred in direct correlation with the corresponding changes and advances in the political system that went along with that class. The Manifesto claims that the oppressed class has historically played a very important revolutionary part in the development of the class system, the political advances and the development and advancement of communism itself during the process. The emerging class of the bourgeoisie played a part in the development of the other class as well because without the separation of its parts it would not have created an atmosphere for another class to emerge."

Abstract
The following paper looks at two works: "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and the "Communist Manifesto". The way in which religion was used to help maintain power will be discussed with reference to these two works. The fundamental similarities and differences between these two books will be drawn upon.
From the paper:
" Although Uncle Tom?s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe and the Communist Manifesto were written at about the same point in history, they are markedly different books. Although one was a fictional novel and one a philosophical treatise, both works influenced their countries to a greater or lesser degree during a civil war, and surprisingly similar views regarding religion are either expressed or implied in both works. This paper will look at how the two works discuss or reveal how religion was used to help maintain positions of power."

Abstract
This paper discusses the ideas in "The Communist Manifesto" by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, in which they set forth a program that is both descriptive and prescriptive, describing what they see as the evolution of society and prescribing action in order to take society to the next level. According to the paper, they say that this level is inevitable, but that does not mean it cannot be hurried along by action. The Manifesto involves both social and economic change on a grand scale, including a shift in the political structures from one era to the next.
From the Paper
"The state in which these men lived at the time was capitalism, which they saw as only an interim state before the uprising of the proletariat and the imposition of a dictatorship of the proletariat before a shift to a completely communist system, presumably the end point in the evolution of the social order.

Abstract
This paper examines the weaknesses in Karl Marx' argumentation for the victory of the proletariat. More specifically, the paper focuses on Marx's beliefs about economics and the inevitable victory of the proletariat . The paper discusses these concepts and beliefs as found in Marx's work "Communist Manifesto" and then presents the writer's opinions of Marx's work.
From the Paper
""The communist Manifesto is, of course, a document written for a particular moment in history," Eric Hosbawn states in his introduction to the modern edition of Marx' Communist Manifesto. And yet its impact extends far past that particular moment in history, drawing in the suppressed as well as intellectuals, because it makes believe that history itself is working towards the realization of their ideals for humanity. The notion that the "fall of the bourgeoisie and the victory of the proletariat are equally inevitable" is an inspiring construct, however, one that has proven faulty and inaccurate in the contexts of history and human nature. Hosbawn further suggests that the Manifesto represented a relatively immature phase in the development of Marxian thought. This implies that at the particular time when it was written Marx himself did not yet have a full grasp of economic theory and people theory. In this paper, I intend to examine some of the weaknesses in Marx argumentation, more specifically in his beliefs about economics, and why the "victory of the proletariat" proved to be evitable after all."

Abstract
This paper explains the key concepts of Marx's doctrine put forth in his "Manifesto of the Communist Party". The paper looks at his theories on labor, social classes, historical events, and class conflict.
From the Paper
"Many of Marx?s ideas can be seen in the U.S. today. A key concept in Marx's critique of capitalism is that labor has been reduced to the status of a commodity, meaning that its value is equivalent to its cost of reproduction. Marx's ideas on labor value are very much alive for many organizations working for social change. In addition, it is apparent that the gap between the rich and poor is widening on a consistent basis. In the United States today, according to a Federal Reserve Board report, one percent of the population has more wealth than the bottom 90 percent, and it is far, far more unequal than it was in Marx's day. In this light, many of the theory?s predictions ring true."

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines 'The Manifesto of the Communist Party' by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels from the year 1848. The writer maintains that their suggestion that history, politics, and economy have always been entwined makes sense in light of the fact that the communist system they propose is both a political and economic system. The writer discusses the document and looks at its argument for change. The writer concludes that despite the fact that the document was written a long time ago, Marx and Engels still capture the spirit of the modern imagination by asserting the power people have for change and reminding even the humblest factory worker that life could and should be different.
From the Paper
"The Manifesto of the Communist Party by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels professed revolutionary ideas in 1848. The authors expressed their views of the history of economics, politics, and society and suggested remedies for the evils they discerned. Their ideas were new and radical in their scope, and the transitioning world of the 19th and 20th centuries was a receptive audience. The wide appeal of their words during the first two centuries of the existence of the Manifesto has declined, though, because of the rise of individualism and the concrete failures of the system of communism that have so pervaded the modern world."

Abstract
A review of Karl Marx's "The Communist Manifesto". Written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1848. The writer claims that this book has grown into the most influential, most criticized and most well-known political pamphlet ever written. This paper explores how Marx and Engels describe the process by which humanity has become divided into two distinct and opposing social classes: The proletariat - the property-less working class and the bourgeoisie or the property-owning class.
From the Paper
?The Communist Manifesto? opens with the assertion that ?The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles?(p. 57). From this, the essence of the Manifesto is derived. Marx and Engels present humanity as divided most distinctly along lines of social class. As the world has traversed into modernity, the nature of this distinction has simplified."

"In the novel, a doctor, through mathematical calculations, discovers that he has a soul, which is a completely unheard of notion in his society, where individuals are objectified and individuality is stifled. Reason is viewed as the citizens' primary handicap. The society in We is so objectified that even thought and love are explained by a mathematical equation. This novel Each novel foreshadow a future of a society which stifles individuality and warns of a future of science, technology and rationalism carried to an excessive degree and completely lacking in ethics.

Abstract
This paper provides a brief summary of this famous work written in 1848 by Marx and Engels. It explains how the authors describe the process by which humanity has become divided into two distinct and opposing social classes: the proletariat (the property-less working class) and the bourgeoisie(the property-owning class). It shows that Marx and Engels argue that the relationship between the classes has become agitated beyond repair, laying the foundation for an inevitable proletarian revolution.
From the Paper
"?The Communist Manifesto? opens with the assertion that ?The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles?(p. 57). From this, the essence of the Manifesto is derived. Marx and Engels present humanity as divided most distinctly along lines of social class. As the world has traversed into modernity, the nature of this distinction has simplified. By the mid-19th century, Marx and Engels believed that the breakdown of society between the oppressed and the oppressors was bi-polar, symbolized in the antagonistic existence of ?two great classes directly facing each other: bourgeoisie and proletariat?(p. 59).
