The culture of capitalism is a competitive culture which creates stratification. We have learned about the components of capitalismthe laborer, consumer, merchant, and nation-stateand about the competitive and often adversarial relationship between these, both within the nation and between nations. As we have read, this is not a kind system; it is a system in which we get our cheaply priced goods at the expense of others. If you looked into your neighbors yard and saw young children beaten and working long hours while living in horrid conditions to make things to sell, would you try and do something to help those children? I suspect you would. And yet, this is what occurs every day in the production of goods for sale in the United States. It occurs through the creation of the other. In this final paper you will explore how each of the components of capitalism uses this concept against others. Who is the other to the laborer, the consumer, the merchant, and the nation-state? Use examples to show how each dehumanizes humans to create the other. Organize your thoughts into a unified coherent essay, but also be sure you do each of the following for each component (laborer, consumer, merchant, nation-state): Who is the other that the component creates? Why does the component group create the other? In what way does each component use the concept of the other? You must give specific examples to illustrate your discussion of each component.
