¶ … political system is perfect. Many illustrious figures in world history have uttered this statement, time and again. Among these figures was Winston Churchill, Joseph Stalin and, perhaps, even Adolf Hitler. Yet all these men, in their own way, whether limited or otherwise, believed in the righteousness of their political system and with it, the right of the social and economic system. History has told us, as students, which man was right in his assumptions. Yet even in today's world, and today's country, in a capitalistic society, with a democracy, one finds elements that are best resolved by other systems. The following paragraphs will present summaries of three interviews, and will attempt to place a Marxian analysis upon the three individuals' words below, and therefore aim to find whether these respective interviews demonstrate a persisting, ever-perpetuated class struggle. The three individuals interviewed for the purposes of this exercise were all employed in a large metropolis. For this reason, their jobs were varied, and upon them they had the added pressure of lack of convenience and privacy. The individuals interviewed here were in the service field, and served as hotel and restaurant employees. All three were below the managerial level and were thus paid through hourly...
All three individuals were asked the questions requested by this study, namely, whether they were exploited at work, whether the employers' interests were different, and whether they believed in those higher up to be serving them to their best abilities.

Though their justifications for their answers were very different, all three persons exhibited a dormant, yet strong, understanding and knowledge of a class struggle, as defined by Mark and Schactman, though none of the persons actually defined it or identified it.
Interviews on Nursing I interviewed three people. Lucile is 80 years old. The only hospitalization she has had, except for the birth of her child, was for a hip replacement two years ago.

S. And the U.S.S.R. The second subject added also the countries of the non-aligned block. To this answer, he suggested an important book on the Cold War, Henry Kissinger's "Diplomacy."

When looking back at how her family has evolved over time, Daisy quips that, "We all grew up, and they got grey hair -- even though mom's keeps disappearing." Daisy does not currently have a role model. When asked if she thought of herself as a feminist, Daisy answered, "Yes and no. Women should be able to do everything, too." Her typical day has her waking up and she
interview was to learn the life of Mr. Mike Robinson, my 65-year-old retired neighbor from the town next to me, in Sudbury. I selected this person because it will allow me to understand some of the core issues related to aging. My interactions with Mike Robinson before this interview were cordial and I believed that his example might shed light on some of the theories of aging we are
He began to speak less formally, weaving his previously formulated questions into something that resembled a conversation. This led his interviewees to speak more candidly and with more self-reflection, moving beyond their celebrity images.
