Modern Communism as practiced in erstwhile Soviet Union and China has been a collective philosophical predicament expounded by Karl Marx and modified by Lenin and Stalin in Soviet Union and Mao in China. Historically it owes its genesis to the ill-effects of nineteenth century industrial revolution.In essence, Communists hold a materialist view of history. Whosoever controls the means of production controls the whole society. Thus society is divided into two classes, ‘haves’ and ‘have not’s.To Marx, “History of all hitherto society is the History of class struggle”. They believe that final goal of class struggle will overthrow the capitalist system and establish the dictatorship of the proletariat. In course of time, a classless society will emerge and the state will wither away. Image Source: api.ning.com ADVERTISEMENTS: A comparison between Platonic…

In the Slavonia villages, he observes, the entire land is the common property of the whole body of kinsmen and is not divisible even in theory. Image Source: img.auctiva.comPreceding a step further, he observes that in Russian villages there is only a temporary division. Different holdings are, for agricul­tural convenience, allotted, for a temporary period, to different…

Like the Type theory, the Trait Theory of personality focuses on people’s personal characteristics. However, various trait theorists differ in the ways they use those characteristics to describe people. image source: c3fd247798cf88ead658-efb7b8a40ae984d5ce8cbafce656509e.r26.cf2.rackcdn.comTraits are characteristics that lead people to behave in more or less distinctive and consistent ways across situation. ADVERTISEMENTS: Psychologist Gordon Allport counted 18,000 trait-like terms in English language that designated “distinctive and personal forms of behaviour”. These terms, mostly adjectives, describe how people act, think, perceive, and feel. Not all these terms reflect personality traits, but several thousands of them do reflect personality traits.Allport believed that this rich collection of trait-like terms provided a way of capturing the uniqueness of each individual. He’ believed that this uniqueness could be described well in terms of the individual’s trails, or…
