Question: The five things that create the Class in itself.
What are:
1. Dependence on Capital
2. Deskilling/Degradation
3. Despotism
4. Homogenization of the Working Class
5. Polarization
These can be found in the Communist Manifesto p.478-480
Good job at today's Jeopardy guys!

Thanks Katie!
Awesome Katie. What do you think makes our section a "class in itself"? Maybe the equivalent list would go something like:
1) dependence on GSI
2) disciplinary subjection
3) despotism
4) normalization
5) homogenization
Most of these work through the mechanism of grading, rather than the development of capitalism (though there might be a useful connection to explore here).
Q: what would it mean for the section to become a class for itself?
:)
Maybe a class for itself would mean forming study groups, all of us working together to tease out Marx's theory? A class in itself would be aiming for 'concessions' - good grades, extra credit, but students would still be under the mechanism of grading. We study to pass the class. To become a class for itself, students would ponder on sociological theories voluntarily without these incentives needed.
Katie, I'm reconstructing my outline for essay number one and, to be sure, I check online to be sure I've listed the five conditions. Thanks for your help. In anticipating the essay question, you're posting was prophetic!
