The many solutions that Nancy Fraser brings up are very important to think about especially in the context of today’s political climate. Many people advocate for one solution or the other, however, the most necessary solution for the issues of today’s society and economy would be understanding the different perspectives of the issues. I like Fraser’s way of explaining intersectionality a little more compared to Crenshaw’s way of explaining intersectionality because I feel that Crenshaw’s explanation is a lot more limited in thinking. Fraser’s “folk paradigms’ of justice has a lot more elaboration on the idea of intersectionality and how it works for all forms of identity. As well as using these paradigms to create solutions is very interesting. The way that there is no real solution but to understand the different perspective, tells a lot about how issues could be easily solved if people weren’t so stubborn and close-minded. If everyone kept an open-mind and tried to understand how others struggle with their own struggles based on their socioeconomic status or their chosen identity, I feel that we would come a lot closer to an equal and peaceful society.

Sample Solution

In this week’s lecture, we looked at the claims that ‘capitalism’ helps save the environment and the position that ‘capitalism’ destroys the environment. First, the position that supports capitalism helps to save the environment said if the world economy becomes rich, people will use nature less. On the other hand, the argument that capitalism destroys the environment is that the capitalist economy creates a cycle of boom and bust, but people recklessly build many factories when the economy is booming. After all, people produce more than they want to buy, which means people are wasting.

I think the argument that capitalism destroys the environment is more convincing. Capitalism has flourished for centuries, exploiting nature. It is considering nature as an “unstoppable” source of resources for production or waste disposal. However, the Earth’s ability to ‘stand through’ the destructive effects of capital is now at its limit. The desire for capital to grow without stopping has led to the suspension of the complex natural cycle formed over millions of years. This led to a crack in the ‘matter metabolism’ between society and nature (to borrow Marx’s expression). This devastating trend is directly linked to the social and material deprivation of hundreds of millions of people suffering from poverty, unemployment, and unstable employment. Capitalism is accompanied by this destructive tendency to guarantee profit and reproduction.

Therefore, no matter how people can make capitalism environmentally friendly, I think the argument that capitalism destroys the environment is more convincing.

Sample solution

Dante Alighieri played a critical role in the literature world through his poem Divine Comedy that was written in the 14th century. The poem contains Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. The Inferno is a description of the nine circles of torment that are found on the earth. It depicts the realms of the people that have gone against the spiritual values and who, instead, have chosen bestial appetite, violence, or fraud and malice. The nine circles of hell are limbo, lust, gluttony, greed and wrath. Others are heresy, violence, fraud, and treachery. The purpose of this paper is to examine the Dante’s Inferno in the perspective of its portrayal of God’s image and the justification of hell. 

In this epic poem, God is portrayed as a super being guilty of multiple weaknesses including being egotistic, unjust, and hypocritical. Dante, in this poem, depicts God as being more human than divine by challenging God’s omnipotence. Additionally, the manner in which Dante describes Hell is in full contradiction to the morals of God as written in the Bible. When god arranges Hell to flatter Himself, He commits egotism, a sin that is common among human beings (Cheney, 2016). The weakness is depicted in Limbo and on the Gate of Hell where, for instance, God sends those who do not worship Him to Hell. This implies that failure to worship Him is a sin.

God is also depicted as lacking justice in His actions thus removing the godly image. The injustice is portrayed by the manner in which the sodomites and opportunists are treated. The opportunists are subjected to banner chasing in their lives after death followed by being stung by insects and maggots. They are known to having done neither good nor bad during their lifetimes and, therefore, justice could have demanded that they be granted a neutral punishment having lived a neutral life. The sodomites are also punished unfairly by God when Brunetto Lattini is condemned to hell despite being a good leader (Babor, T. F., McGovern, T., & Robaina, K. (2017). While he commited sodomy, God chooses to ignore all the other good deeds that Brunetto did.

Finally, God is also portrayed as being hypocritical in His actions, a sin that further diminishes His godliness and makes Him more human. A case in point is when God condemns the sin of egotism and goes ahead to commit it repeatedly. Proverbs 29:23 states that “arrogance will bring your downfall, but if you are humble, you will be respected.” When Slattery condemns Dante’s human state as being weak, doubtful, and limited, he is proving God’s hypocrisy because He is also human (Verdicchio, 2015). The actions of God in Hell as portrayed by Dante are inconsistent with the Biblical literature. Both Dante and God are prone to making mistakes, something common among human beings thus making God more human.

To wrap it up, Dante portrays God is more human since He commits the same sins that humans commit: egotism, hypocrisy, and injustice. Hell is justified as being a destination for victims of the mistakes committed by God. The Hell is presented as being a totally different place as compared to what is written about it in the Bible. As a result, reading through the text gives an image of God who is prone to the very mistakes common to humans thus ripping Him off His lofty status of divine and, instead, making Him a mere human. Whether or not Dante did it intentionally is subject to debate but one thing is clear in the poem: the misconstrued notion of God is revealed to future generations.
