Glendale Community College Marx Class Consciousness Discussion
PFirst, define Marx’s conceptions of class consciousness and false consciousness, and then write a about a friend or acquaintance that you believehas developed class consciousness. Please explain why you believe this person has come to truly understand why social inequality truly exists in the world. Be sure to explain how this person makes sense of the world. (If you feel that you have developed class consciousness, you can write about yourself rather than someone you know.) Afterwards, write about a friend/acquaintance that you feel has developed a sense of false conscious. Explain how this individual makes sense of social inequality and why you think his or her reasoning doesn’t reflect the true nature of the situation. Does their false consciousness stem from a religious ideology, a typical mainstream ideology or an extremist ideology? Afterwards, explain how this point of view affects their behavior?
