Marx and engels focused on a society's economy as central to what gives rise to conflicts between individuals and groups. choose a contemporary conflict that you are aware of (for example, terrorism, immigration, gay marriage, welfare, military conflicts around the world, in what ways might marx and engels' idea about the underlying importance of the economy apply to you understand that conflict better? is it possible that marx and engels' focus on the economic underpinnings of social life could lead you astray?

If we pick terrorism, Marx and Engels' theory can help us understand that young males in the low social classes, who live in staggeringly unequal societies such as the Arab ones (Arab countries have very high GDP due to oil, yet alarming poverty rates) may feel oppressed and marginalized from the "game" of capital-building.

The problem of inequality in a society's economy might help us understand, in general, how religious fundamentalists have risen in these countries, and how the "Guerrillas" started decades ago in South America, all third world countries who veer their hatred towards the more privileged developed world. We can also remember that the Nazi movement saw its inception in a post-WWI Germany with such high rates of inflation that people brought wheelbarrows stacked with cash to the bakery when buying food, and how these people veered their anger onto a historically wealthy and productive people: the Jews. From this perspective, the true breeding pools of murderous ideologies and massive violent reactions always seem to be highly unequal societies.

On the other hand, Marx and Engels' view of Capitalism as a system that inherently causes suffering, where the rich are to blame for poverty itself and where there is always an oppressor and an oppressed, may divert us from the real problem regarding how demagogues weaponize the dispossessed. The young males that usually end up as militants for these causes feel disenfranchised by society as a whole, not only in the financial sphere of their lives but also socially and psychologically. The belief that the solution to social inequality is just to finance the poor so that they are economically equal to what Marxism would call the "bourgeoisie", is reductionist at best. Since the problem of being disenfranchised by society engulfs the entire individual in all aspects of life, inequality in society needs to be looked at as a problem that is educational, psychological and sociological besides just financial. This includes the fact that viewing the world in terms of only oppressor vs. oppressed is the sign of an immature psyche, the kind of psyche that a demagogue finds easy to manipulate.

freeborn women in ancient rome were citizens (cives), but could not vote or hold political office. because of their limited public role, women are named less frequently than men by roman historians. but while roman women held no direct political power, those from wealthy or powerful families could and did exert influence through private negotiations. exceptional women who left an undeniable mark on history range from lucretia and claudia quinta, whose stories took on mythic significance; fierce republican-era women such as cornelia, mother of the gracchi, and fulvia, who commanded an army and issued coins bearing her image; women of the julio-claudian dynasty, most prominently livia (58 bc-ad 29), who contributed to the formation of imperial mores; and the empress helena (c.250–330 ad), a driving force in promoting christianity.

women in the ancient greek world had few rights in comparison to male citizens. unable to vote, own land, or inherit, a woman’s place was in the home and her purpose in life was the rearing of children. this, though, is a general description, and when considering the role of women in ancient greece one should remember that information regarding specific city-states is often lacking, is almost always from male authors, and only in athens can their status and role be described in any great detail. neither are we sure of the practical and everyday application of the rules and laws that have survived from antiquity. we do know that spartan women were treated somewhat differently than in other states. for example, they had to do physical training like men, were permitted to own land, and could drink wine.
