In addition, Susan is further out of the loop by not being closer to the participations/royalties and payroll clerk offices. She is further hampered by being involved in "a lengthy analysis of all transactions posted to the "intercompany" accounts," and assuming that Anita does not want this task delegated. Susan and Anita both want the same outcome; however, each has failed to communicate well with the other. Susan is a diligent worker, as evidenced by her performance review. She is willing to do what Anita asks, she simply is not aware of Anita's desires.
Some people shoplift to see what they can get away with. They may do it as a way to challenge authority or be nonconformist. Or they may get a rush out of doing something risky that has the potential to get them in serious trouble. Others do it as a way to get attention from parents or friends. A few people shoplift because they see it as a way of getting back at a store they don't like or a company whose values they question.
Marxists also believe that the capitalist system creates laws that are seen to favour the working class and make them think the system is fair and just, however, these are only put in place to appease the subject class and give the appearance of fairness. Marxists also recognise that crime happens across all social sections, and they challenge the view that crime is a working class phenomenon. This take on crime can be criticised because there is too much emphasis on class inequalities in policing and law enforcement, they fail to recognise racial discrimination within crime. In addition this theory is also very deterministic, believing that criminals are driven to crime as victims of the capitalist system, and for also believing that all the working class in a capitalist society commits crime, for example Japan is a capitalist society but they have very low crime rates, this opposes the view of the Marxists. Further criticisms come from the Left Realists, they say that most of the working class crime is not committed against the state as the
“ The syntax of this part of the story shows that the author is trying to explain the character of Prynne and then compare it to what people believe she would look like. This is important because what it shows is that Prynne is not what the people seem to believe. The sin committed by Prynne, had an effect on her that was very different then the effect of the sin on Dimmesdale and Chillingworth. The effect of the sin on Prynne was very hurtful but the way she took the pain was by doing well in society again and by working and proving that the Scarlett Letter was nothing more than a letter. For a large majority of the story, the Scarlett Letter meant Adultery, but as time changed the letter a meant able.
The article, Why I love Shoplifting, talks about the unfair treatment that big corporations force upon citizens of the world. The essay explains and expresses the opinions of a shoplifter and why she steals from corporations. The author gives valid reasons for why people shoplift and why it is acceptable for them to do it.

He uses Arthur Birling as a voice for capitalism, who is ridiculed by the inspector, a representative of socialism. The dialogue between them shows this, as the inspector twists what birling says. For example, when the inspector says “I’m sorry but you asked me a question”, and Birling says the inspector previously asked him an unnecessary question, the Inspector replies “It’s my duty to ask questions”. Priestly uses this symbolism as framework for the political ideology battle each character has with the inspector. As the political Ida of capitalism has corrupted the Birling family, Priestly shows the audience how the inspector, the voice of socialism, constantly out-wits the birling’s.
Kitty, however, fit more so in the background as her role was not as instrumental in the actual scheme of selling drugs. While Cecelia and Stopper were more hands on, they also set parameters as they primarily sold to other women in an attempt to create a safer space and avoid belligerent and potentially dangerous male customers. Though women were stepping out and making themselves more noticeable in different arenas, the drug arena was still not exactly the ideal place for women to earn a living. Kitty played more of the traditional role, working under her husband, and the father of her child, Splib, as opposed to making a name and way for herself to exclusively providing for her two-year old son. Unlike the men, women didn’t desire the chance to seem tougher than what they were.
Corporations? Oh yeah, they are people too, aren’t they? Not really, but the law says they are. So they think they can buy elections and control the lives and the pursuit of happiness; driving the people into slavery to produce more wealth for them and the people get to eat the crumbs. Just think, they get upset when one wants to stop them, their feelings get hurt when one talks of “class warfare (Frank p.A25)”.
It was clear that whilst her opportunity cost for using OasisActive over eHarmony was lower, it had also reaped less net benefit. Her initial cost-benefit calculation had been incorrect. So Diana began to think, I’m still single, and the variable costs are mounting. She had made a large emotional investment into online dating. Diana knew she was dealing with sunk costs but was irrationally driven to wait for her marginal benefit to exceed her marginal cost to regain a feeling of value and worth.
In what ways can Fight Club be read as a Marxist critique of corporate capitalism and consumer culture? Fight Club has been argued to be a Marxist critique of the exploitation received by the proletariat from the bourgeoisie in terms of corporate capitalism and consumer culture in a capitalist society. It highlights the methods of control used by those in power in order to maintain a passive working class who, instead of resenting the bourgeoisie, rebels against there own class, creating a divided working class who are alienated from each other, which preserves the status quo. During the film, those in a position of power, for example, the narrator’s boss, are symbolically representative of the media, government and business corporations. In one shot, the narrator’s boss is only shown from the neck down, signifying that all people in positions of power share the same values and highlights that a capitalist society is not personal, instead only interested in money and profit.
