MARXISM and IDEOLOGIES
Classism: is a belief that our value as human beings is directly related to our social status: the higher
the social class, the higher is our inborn superiority. In traditional classist societies, social class is
determined by birth, “in the blood” and cannot be changed upon the accumulation or loss of wealth.
Marxist theory is against classism considering it unjust and unwise as it privileges a small segment
of the population. * In US, classism exists despite the fact that social class can change upon
accumulation or loss of wealth; those who become the upper-class expect and are treated as if they
were superior to those bellow hem on socio-economic ladder.
Capitalism: is a system where everything, every object, activity, person can be defined in terms of its
worth in money on a specific market.
Capitalist Ideologies: a. Competition- Capitalism believes that competition among individuals, for jobs,
for pay raises, for awards, in educational level, lifestyle, etc. is the best way to promote a strong
society because it ensures that the most intelligent and capable will rise to the top. Marxist Theory
considers competition repressive as competition emphasizes the importance of the individual-“I, I, me,
me, me” instead of the group.
b. Commodification: encourages relating to things and people as commodities with a tag value or
exchanging value. Ex. A girl commodifies a man she is dating if he treats her well and spends on her.
Thus, she is dating him for his exchange value or commodifies him for impressing her friends.
c. American dream: anyone who works hard and is persistent can rise from: “rags to riches” because
America is a land of equal opportunities for all. Marxist Theory claims that our belief in the American
Dream blinds us to the reality that a vast number of people do not have equal opportunity in
education, jobs, housing, etc. And worse, American Dream leads to a belief that poor people who are
unable to improve must be shiftless and lazy.
d. Rugged individualism/ the hero motif: born from the American Dream, this ideology holds up to our
admiration the example of the individual who strikes out alone in pursuit of a goal not easily achieved
or requiring high risk. Marxist Theory claims that it is romanticized in folklore, it is actually putting self-
interest above the needs of the community.
Religion as ideology: Marxist Theory suggests that religion too is to oppress the poor; “it is the opiate
of the masses” keeping the poor quiet and calm from rebelling- they are satisfied with the knowledge
that they will get fair treatment and will be rewarded in heaven.
Colonialist Ideology: is based on colonizer’s belief in their own superiority over the colonized. One
becomes a colonial subjects by mimicry (imitation of the dress, speech, behavior, or lifestyle of
members of dominant culture) and/or by unhomeliness (feeling of having no cultural identity/upon
rejecting their culture as inferior)

Question 1 Forbes Article
Read the Forbes article: Every Leader Must be a Change Agent or Face Extinction (Links to an external site.). Given that change is interwoven in organizations today, a leader must be prepared for change in order to multiply growth opportunities. How can leaders remain ready for change and motivate their employees to embrace those changes?
Question 2 Change Assessment
Referencing this week’s lecture, assess the changes you have made in your personal or professional life and evaluate how well you maintained the change. Do you agree with the argument that change is easier to make than maintain? Why or Why not?
Week Three Lecture
We hear the word change so often it appears it has become a buzzword and a cliché in some instances. I can speak from experience that if change is strategic, planned, and rolled out properly, it can be a huge success. OD practitioners have witnessed organizations and entrepreneurs embrace the process, work a strategic well-thought-out plan, and achieve success. Conversely, they have also witnessed organizations and entrepreneurs who had the best of intentions; however, their impatience and ego prevailed! That is what Senge et al (1999) refer to as “Walk the Talk,” a phrase we have all heard. It is not enough to stand on a stage in front of your employees and talk up the need for change, the great outcomes, and commitment to the process if you cannot back it up with action.
One of the earliest change theories introduced was Lewin’s (1951) force field model. His model is comprised of two specific components: the three stage change model and the force field analysis. The first is the process of change where Lewin suggests there are three stages to change.
The first stage of unfreezing is where employees come to understand that the way they used to perform or do things will no longer be adequate. In this stage, an organization must communicate and educate. Employees need to understand how the changes will affect them and how the organization will benefit. By educating and communicating often, employees can then focus on the change at hand and move forward as a valuable part of the process. Connor (1995), Senge, et al (1999), Kahan (2010), and Yukl (2006) agree that communication and explaining the relevance of change are key components to unfreezing and changing. The actual change stage is where new ways of doing things, norms, and/or procedures employees are to follow are conveyed. Communication remains a key component to the success of the process. Finally, in the refreezing stage, the change is solidified and reconfirmed. This is now the way in which we operate. In order for this stage to take hold, everyone understands reverting to old ways is simply not an option.
Depending on the size of the organization or the magnitude of the change, it can take 18 months to 5 years for the change process to be completed and established. While it may become tedious in the midst of the change process, remember, change has a greater chance of failure if rushed. Attempting to expedite the change process will increase the risk of failure exponentially.
The second component is Lewin’s Force Field Analysis (1951) tool.
As you can see from the diagram, it provides a visual for all the driving and restraining forces. Ideally, you would brainstorm all of the driving forces for change and restraining forces hindering change. From the brainstorming data, you can then examine the restraining forces first to determine those factors that are a non-issue and those that are valid concerns. Likewise, the same process takes place for the driving forces. This simple process allows an organization to reduce the resistance and thereby increase the driving forces for change. The force field analysis is a powerful tool for issues or problems, professional or personal.
