Microsoft and Reification

Happy new year everyone!

The article here provides me with data. In the classes that I am taking this term one of which is about research and persuasion. I hope you get excited as I rock this term with hard work and dedication. Reification occurs in a different way in the cited sample. Open-Source software licenses are examples of reification. The social division of labor may not be subject to intentional deliberation, but rather precede any act of work; and if so, then supreme values of the dominant conception of knowledge and ethics are undergoing reification. Read what the editors of the Encyclopedia of Marxism have to say about reification. When reading the article from the Shapiro Library consider how objective and valuable Microsoft and others believe their licenses are regarding their biases. How does this affect the wages of Microsoft employees, and how does this impact the profit of Microsoft? I will be doing research into the statistics of related phenomena. There may be economic relationships.

Sincerely,

Student at large
