C ritical Thinking Other things to consider 1. Does a person’s access to education depend on money? Why or why not? Where in Chicago or elsewhere in the country is this most clear? If there is a problem, what are some steps that can be taken to fix it? 2. What other popular authors have “written for change” like Charles Dickens, using their works to make a difference in the world around them? How did they attempt to do this? Were those works effective? Why do you think so? 3. How do you think people would celebrate Christmas today if A Christmas Carol had never been written? Do you think the popularity of the Christmas holiday today has to do more with its commercial aspect (decorating trees and houses, giving presents), religious aspect (the birth of Christ) or the values it promotes (goodwill, peace, love)? Why? 4. Do you think the class conflict between the bourgeoisie and proletariat described by Karl Marx still exists today? Why or why not? If so, where is this class conflict most evident? (Consider specific industries, countries, etc.) 28 Picture from www.occc.edu
