The
Reasons the US has no Class Consciousness
The notes have a discussion of why the US has little class
consciousness, ie why most people are satisfied w/ the status quo, why
most people do not work to change the system. See the 5 reasons
the US has no class consciousness below
1. Give examples of each of the 5 reasons the US
has no class consciousness (listed below). If you can't think of
an example for one, please say so
2. How could some of the 5 reasons be changed so
that, maybe, people would become aware of what's going on & organize
for change?
3. The decline of the Labor Movement directly parallels
the decline of the middle class in the US. Is there a connection
here or is this merely two independent social trends?
4. Feel free to challenge the entire premise of
these discussion topics, ie that the US does have class consciousness.
Or possibly that we don't need class consciousness because
we have the greatest country that has ever been & we should be satisfied
w/ what we have, etc
