Thirty Days as a Cuban Article Review

THIRTY years AS A CUBAN Article Review Based on Patrick Symmes article Thirty Days as a Cuban, it seems as though the degree of ECONOMIC INEQUALITY (the extent of the economic unlikeness between the rich and the poor) in Cuba is relatively low. While many state still make more than others, the vast majority of Cubans are significantly poor and suffer from starvation from day to day. Symmes account of the average breeding of a Cuban was interesting because I dont believe many tidy sum are conscious of the suffrage going on in this country. I, for one, am a prime example of this.I had no idea that such a state existed in Cuba. The ration system and dictatorship of the country sum up 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 negative companionable & behavior that violates written laws, respectively). These great deal literally have no choice but to result to plague in order to survive. The communistic ways and schemes of the government do not really enable moral and ethical ways of making horizontal a mere comfortable living.This suggests an inevitably low chance of tumid MOBILITY (the movement up or down a through a societys stratification system) in the sense that while the Cuban government faculty like to think or tell people that movement up the vertical scale is possible, it really is not. Another point I comprise interesting is that the Cubans seem to be pretty CLASS CONSCIOUS (aware of their social class membership, the structural reasons for it, and the needs arising from such membership). They are 100% aware of where they stand in the social ladder, but there is virtually atomic they can do about it.They are aware of what the government is doing bragging(a) them just plenteous to get 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 hence of econom ic liberty, which is why you have to have the libreta in the first place. This summon validates my point exactly. The Cubans are very aware of their suppression, but in secernate to Karl Marxs theory that the oppressed would inevitably revolt if they had class consciousness, the Cubans cannot because of the dictatorship active in their country.
