1. On page 39 it says, "...the class, which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force." Do you think that in our current society there is still only one dominant class that provides all of the ruling ideas?
2. On page 30 it is shown that ordinary life and history are distinctively and totally separated. Can these two concepts only exist independently, or is it possible for them to go hand in hand?
Hey Joey. To answer question two, I would say that history and ordinary life do go hand in hand. Every single day, we are sifting through incoming information, and who are we to question something that was around long before we existed? In reality, we are creating that incoming information for future generations, each of us paving our own history. I completely think that ordinary life and history go hand in hand. Whether you're making small contributions to a local group, or marching in protests that get national attention, you are making history either way.
