Citing and Bias

- Much support for deciding to develop into this very limiting topic. However, citing this information is much advised as this is not original work by the editor. Karl Marx is a highly referred to sociologist in this topic, as such if he has stated the definition you cited, it is suggested you link the papers where he stated such theories. This will give the article greater credibility and allow other editors good starting points to further develop this article.

- Another topic of discussion for this article is the bias at hand. Its understandable the limited supply of information of this topic but limiting ourselves to one perspective view of political development would hinder readers to indulge in only a one sided truth. Although it is open to interpretation, the view of political development should be defined in multiple sociological scopes, whether it be Moore's, Marx', or another contender. This will give the editor neutrality and further credibility, leaving the reader to intrepet the multiple views into his own.

Interested in further developing this topic I hope I can be of any help. Rhern240 (talk) 21:51, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Alfgarciamora:

@Rhern240: Good start, Rafael. In the future, try to be very particular about what is biased or what is missing. Maybe copy and paste a quotation from the page that you think is biased, for instance. Or offer up a reference for people to look up Marx's own words on the topic. Alfgarciamora (talk) 14:50, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Further Developing Article

Upon further examination and determination, I have taken it upon myself to develop this topic further. I have found many interesting books and articles about this topic and I believe it can shed more light on it. I Would like to develop this topic into new sections to expand the different characteristics of this topic. First is the finishing of class analysis size. I was able to give examples and descriptions but Erik Wright goes even further into this topic about how it affects us. Another great researcher Jean Anyon discusses how class analysis is important in describing upbringing and work opportunities for different social classes. John H Oglethorpe goes against the Marxist and liberal norms that class analysis regularities are long term or undergo change but he says: “exhibit the powerful resistance to change of class relations and associated life-chances and patterns of social action.”.^[1] I would like to further develop what he envisions is the right form of class analysis. Moving further against the grain I would like to experiment class analysis foundation on weber’s distinction between class situation and social class. This is endeavor is greatly supported by Lydia Morris and John Scott as they challenge other authors that support their views of social class on Weber’s viewpoint and how it applies to all aspects of society. A final section I would like to incorporate can be divided into multiple sections. The first highlights the nature and purpose of class analysis. The second section discusses contemporary research and its implementation for future research. These are ideas held true to John Goldthorpe research and article. I believe these developments to be true and would be interested in pursuing these into new sections to expand the different aspects of class analysis. I would be interested in any feedback if you believe I should compound some topics together or gather other topics; would be much appreciated.

I also Present my Bibliography if anyone can critique and help me to pursue better research it would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE

I have created this new thread in this talk page to well any and all critiques for my addition of new sub sections into this topic. I have spent the last two months gathering resources and ideas on new sub topics to expand on this one. Thankfully the very broad field opens way for new topics. I you see in the article section I have included the new sub topics: Class Size, Neo-Weberian Definition, Class Differentials in Educational Attainment and their Explanation, Class and Political Partnership, Class Interest, Class Practices, and new topics in the "see also" sub section. I extracted the best information available to the respects of copy right code and gather contemporary and useful topics. This is my first draft and I myself believe that there is different points here that I can change a little or maybe my grammar is off I just have not reached a level expertise to spot them. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank You
