Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that Marxist, liberal, and feminist approaches share a pivotal characteristic in common in that all three are concerned with the needs of the oppressed. However, the writer discusses that although these approaches are similar in certain respects, they are basically quite distinct in their identification of which social and economic needs are to be given priority, their proposed solutions to social problems, and in implementation of solutions. The writer points out that the liberal approach is especially distinct from the other two approaches since the term 'oppressed' does not so adequately fit. This paper focuses on the socioeconomic context and salient issues in New France in order to apply and illustrate those three approaches.

From the Paper
"The Marxist approach would also maintain that the state operates as a means for social control and that it serves he purposes of emerging commercial capitalism. In addition, creating a program of social services may be somewhat empowering but it also oppresses people. Another Marxist criticism of the liberal approach would be that the liberal goals of social security would impose a severe burden on habitants who were already paying a tithe to the Church. As far as the Marxist approach is concerned, the work by religious orders and especially by nuns served to promote and reinforce the class system. Nuns' origins ranged from the nobility to wealthy backgrounds, and class differences were also observed in school programs which conformed to a social hierarchy."

Abstract
The paper examines the Marxist, liberal and feminist approaches that are all concerned with the needs of the oppressed. The paper looks at the liberal perspective that is especially focused on the individual's human rights and highlights its similarities and differences to the Marxist approach of the capitalist and class system. The paper discusses the feminist perspective that is primarily concerned with patriarchy and women's oppression and notes the similarities and central differences to the other perspectives.

From the Paper
"The Marxist, liberal, and feminist approaches share a pivotal characteristic in common in that all three are concerned with the needs of the oppressed. The liberal perspective is especially focused on the individual's human rights. Overall, "the Liberal Party was ultimately successful in identifying public needs, designing solutions to national social problems, and finally implementing programs". When the Liberals developed their system of social security, they did so as one aspect of a comprehensive national policy designed for social improvement. In sharp contrast to the Marxist approach, the liberal perspective is accepting of the capitalist system as not only necessary but as beneficial for the disadvantaged classes. The Liberal Party worked in stages to achieve the welfare state, the first phase being made up of National Health Grants, along with the later expansions in 1951 of the old-age pension program, and the emergence of hospital insurance in 1957."

Abstract
The paper analyzes a passage from Marx's "The Communist Manifesto" and argues that it shows a marked difference between the ideas of Karl Marx and the ideas of feminist theories who claim to take their inspirations from him. The paper discusses other feminist theories as alternatives to Marxist feminism which might better fit with Marx's own view of gender division.

From the Paper
"Marxist feminism is a type of feminism based on the ideas of Karl Marx. The theory argues that capitalism is the cause of women's oppression. Economic competition, they claim, creates the risk of economic dependence, especially for women engaged in domestic labor. This, according to Marxist feminists, creates a rift between men and women that resembles a class division, and women are oppressed in much the same way that Marx's Proletariat is oppressed. Marxist feminism has many critics, but among the most compelling of these critics seems to be Karl Marx himself."

Abstract
The paper argues that in principal, liberalism in modern education is consistent with the most essential purposes of education: to teach students how to think critically and use their minds effectively. The paper contends that conservatism in education directly undermines this critical goal and promotes the rigid acceptance of existing ideas and values. According to this writer, the continual evaluation and reevaluation of ideas and values is the cornerstone of social development in human societies and therefore, the most important mission of modern educators is to facilitate the development of critical thinking in students.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"In American political lexicon, the phrases liberalism and conservatism have very specific connotations having to do with particular contemporary political issues like taxation, abortion, foreign policy, and different interpretations of various civil rights and constitutional protections and privileges. To a great degree, politically-oriented Americans have adopted highly pejorative characterizations of one another in which they view either "liberalism" or "conservatism" as the embodiment of most of the nation's problems. However, in the more general sense of education, liberalism and conservatism have different connotations that, regardless of politically-oriented interpretations, with rather obvious implications."

Abstract
This paper shows how feminists' interpretation of Marx's ideas is significantly different from a strictly communist interpretation, and is probably extrapolating much from Marx that he himself did not intend in his work. The paper explains Marxist feminists' argument that Marx did not develop a theory of gender, but that one can merely be inspired by his work. The paper contends these feminists are primarily employing ideas that are, by now, enough divorced from Marx himself that his name no longer has be used. The paper therefore concludes that although Marx seems to have had some things to say about gender relations, the questions and contradictions that arise from an analysis of his gender theory suggest that perhaps the Marxist model of feminism is not the most appropriate.

From the Paper
"Marx himself, however, was not a feminist thinker. Indeed, feminists generally agree that Marx's work is not adequate for developing a theory of gender relations because Marx himself did not get around to developing a theory of gender. It is important to bear this fact in mind when discussing feminism and Marx, because it is worthwhile to ask the question of whether Marx's thought is compatible with feminist ideas. One branch of feminism, however, disagrees with the assessment that Marx cannot adequately surve the feminist purpose. Marxist feminism holds that, although Marx himself did not write much about gender relations, he provides a general conceptual framework within which contemporary gender issues can fit, irrespective of the fact that Marx did not explicate these issues himself."

Abstract
This paper examines the discipline of sociology from a feminist approach. This includes an analysis which refers to gender criticism. Additionally, the paper cites that feminist criticism is about differences and marginalization of women in our patriarchal culture. It further applies the feminist approach to the present subject matter which includes an analysis of the material in terms of feminine consciousness and how women are portrayed socially, politically, sexually, economically, and religiously.

From the Paper
"The feminist approach in terms of analysis refers to gender criticism; it is about differences and marginalization of women in our patriarchal culture. Applying the feminist approach to the present subject matter (Northern Frontier Northern Homeland, by Thomas R. Berger), this means an analysis of the material in terms of feminine consciousness and how women are portrayed socially, politically, sexually, economically, and religiously. For the most part, women are portrayed in the subject matter in at least an equal light, and at times in a rather flattering light. The author, Berger, refers to the native peoples usually as people; he only..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the meaning of revolution and why the Marxist revolutions in Nicaragua, Cuba and Grenada failed. The paper argues that a revolution promotes the advances of productivity and of the society in general. There are also fundamental changes in political and economic structure. In the case of Nicaragua, Cuba and Grenada, there were major changes, but the lack of economic and political freedom, in combination with U.S. pressure, made it impossible for those revolutions to succeed.
