Thirty Days as a Cuban Article Review

THIRTY DAYS AS A Cuban Article Review Based on Patrick Symmes article Thirty years as a Cuban, it seems as though the degree of economical INEQUALITY (the extent of the economic difference between the rich and the poor) in Cuba is relatively low. While many people still make more(prenominal) than others, the vast majority of Cubans are significantly poor and suffer from starvation from day to day. Symmes account of the average life of a Cuban was enkindle because I dont believe many people are aware of the balloting going on in this country. I, for one, am a prime congressman of this.I had no idea that such a state existed in Cuba. The confine system and dictatorship of the country contribute immensely to the degree of poverty. And in turn, poverty results in what we would label as DEVIANCE and CRIME (behavior that violates norms and arouses nix hearty &038 behavior that violates written laws, respectively). These people literally assimilate no choice but to result to crime in order to survive. The communist ways and schemes of the government do not authentically enable virtuous and ethical ways of making even a mere prosperous living.This suggests an needfully low chance of VERTICAL MOBILITY (the movement up or down a through a societys stratification system) in the whizz that while the Cuban government might like to think or tell people that movement up the vertical scale is possible, it really is not. Another point I found interesting is that the Cubans seem to be pretty CLASS CONSCIOUS (aware of their social class membership, the structural reasons for it, and the involve arising from such membership). They are 100% aware of where they stand in the social ladder, but there is virtually little they can do approximately it.They are aware of what the government is doing giving them just enough to bear by, but, in reality, is not enough to survive. The problem in Cuba isnt food, or clothes. Its the total lack of civil liberty, and therefore o f economic liberty, which is why you have to have the libreta in the first place. This quote validates my point exactly. The Cubans are really aware of their suppression, but in contrast to Karl Marxs theory that the oppressed would inevitably revolt if they had class consciousness, the Cubans cannot because of the dictatorship existing in their country.
