Przyrembel in reading 3, week 4, quotes whom when citing how the bourgeoisie "redress grievances"?

Answer explanation

p. 355

Przyrembel characterizes this as combining "moral sentiments" with social movements starting mid-19c.

• the ends justify the means

• culture of compassion

• greatest good for greatest number

• suffragette movement for women's liberation

In the week 3 U.S. Labor Movement video, in the 19th c. there's an overlap between three movements. Which does not belong?

• women's right to vote

• worker's right to unionize

• child's right to work

• farmer's right to profits

In the U.S. Labor movement video, we can see the origins of this national debate still relevant today:

• immigration

• abolition

• segregation

• secularization

In the Communism vs. Socialism video, you learned that many of the former's demands were met by this American policy adapted during very hard times:

• New Deal

• Marshall Plan

• NAFTA

• Obamacare

In the Communism vs. Socialism video, we find that often these policies are shared between both systems. Which choice does not fit this model?

• 40-hour workweek

• elderly pensions

• 8-hour workday

• stock options

This characteristic arguably dominates more in Communism, but it may often be present in Socialism:

• anti-religion

• anti-insurance

• anti-conscription

• anti-welfare

As we discussed, this phrase suggesting justified violence in the name of class war would likely be shouted by radicals advocating communism, rather than many socialists:

• By any means necessary

• Speak truth to power

• The people united will never be divided

• What goes around, comes around
