Document Summary
Location: lash miller chemical labs, room 159: june 3: 3-5pm. World shapes ideas (rather than the opposite) How do social formation produce goods and services. Is a critical approach: challenge current beliefs and perspectives, challenge inequalities that exist because of certain social formations, ask questions about how things could be different. Look at nation states and the ways they are governed: at the federal, provincial, municipal level. Who own and controls the means of production. What will media publish: capitalists preach democracy, but practice power . There are certain interests that go into shaping what happens to us. Tobacco, alcohol industries shape our health in precise ways. State typically ahs an interest in protecting corporations since they are the ones who pay taxes. Profit through labour of others: pay less than work is worth. Strike: although we have the right to go on strike, government has the right to legislate workers back to work.
