1. Clearly specify which audios and videos you have chosen to write about.
The first audio is about Karl Marx theory of capitalism and communism while the second audio
talks about wealth of nations. However, the first video talks about the state in the society. It
elaborates on many dirty things that are going on in the community but the members are not
talking about the matters. Many members have hidden in the house watching television and
enjoying coffee. The second video is about the situation in school today. The curriculum does
not favor students. Learners are forced to work hard because others had succeeded through the
same means.
2. In your own words, discuss and critically analyze the major points in each of the audio and
video.
Beginning with the audio concerning Karl Marx, it shows the reality in the society by addressing
the point of capitalism. Capitalism in the community makes people greedy. Everyone is working
hard to gain a lot of wealth in the society without looking for the needs of other people. For
example, Karl Marx and his family went through hard times, his children died because of illness.
He had no money take them to hospital while members of the society did not come in to assist.
Karl Marx insist that nations should embrace communism. The audio on wealth of nations
speaks about division of labor. It says that for the country to have enough wealth, there is a need
for division of labor. However, the states should check at the market so that they do not produce
excess products according to Hampshire, (2016).
On the other hand, the video on the state of society today, there is a man who insists that people
must go mad to ensure that the society is back to normal. However, many people are reluctant;
they fear to talk about the issues that are affecting them in the community. When it comes to the

PHILOSOPHY 3
video on school curriculum, it does not favor many learners in reference to Sobel'Man, (2016).
Parents have more expectation on the child than the capability of the child. For example, some
children have some talents, but they are ignored as the school insist that everyone should succeed
through academics.
3. In your own words, give at least two detailed examples accompanied with detailed
explanations as to how they relate to society.
The first example that shows the video relate to society is that there is greediness in the society.
Taking the audio on Karl Marx as an example, many people in the society focus on what benefits
themselves, not considering the rest of the society. Karl Marx illustrates that there is a need to do
away with capitalism. It is a method that benefits few people, yet many others are suffering out
there. The second example that relates video to the society is the level of inhumane in the
society. Most of the abusive actions are engineered by rich people according to Robinson,
(2017). However, the less fortunate in the society fear to speak about the matters because of the
possibility of victimization.
4. In your own words, give at least two detailed examples accompanied with detailed
explanations as to how they relate to your personal life.
The first life example is the challenging environment in school. My passion is contradicting what
the parents and teachers expect. For instance, the curriculum in school limits me to work hard in
academics because others accomplished the same way and passed. It makes me limit my thinking
that academics is the only way to succeed. The second life example is where I face challenges
because of the influence of rich people. For example, a wealthy man takes away our family land.
However, we have to keep quiet because of the impact the person has in the authoritative bodies.

5. How, in your opinion, can the ideas discussed in the audios and videos be pragmatically and
realistically implemented in society?
The way to implement the ideas in the videos and the audios is through creating awareness. For
instance, if there are people who know the problems the society is facing, they should come out
openly and assist others in solving the stalemate. The second way is that there should be a
program to follow up confirming whether people are putting into practice what the experts have
told them
6. What steps are necessary and how do you create or make those steps available so that those
ideas can in a very practical way be implemented in society. Make sure you map out the steps in
order.
The first step is to identify the requires that people may require to make the ideas practical. For
instance, they can need experts, mode of communication and any other material they can need to
fulfill the objective. Secondly, identify the means of getting the resources, and the last thing is to
start creating awareness for other people in reference to Hegel, (2015).
7. How, in your opinion, can the ideas discussed in the audios and videos be pragmatically and
realistically implemented in your own life? Make sure you map out the steps in order.
The implementation of the ideas in my personal life can take various forms. The first thing is to
identify the person who can help me in the situation. After understanding what I need to do, I
elaborate on the steps I need to follow to realize the goals. However, there are some ideas in the
video that require a large crowd, for instance, talking about disrespect in the society.

8. What steps are necessary and how do you create or make those steps available so that those
ideas can in a very practical way be implemented in your own life. Make sure you map out the
steps in order.
The first step to take in my personal life is to accept there is a challenge that I need to address.
For example, greediness which I need to fight. The second step to take is to identify the methods
that I will make us to solve the problem. The last thing is to always evaluate to ensure that I
have the ideas.
