Thesis - A History of Oppression

For my master's in professional writing, I am currently working on a thesis over the stigma associated with using Marxist sources in Christian advocacy writing that focuses upon historical, social inequalities.  This is such an interesting topic.  It's one about which I am passionate because it coincides so well with my favorite area of historical research - the social effects of Industrialism.  I've been studying this era and this topic since I started writing my novel close to two years ago.  That research has led me to complete two papers over the 1834 British Poor Laws, another paper over Communism, and a paper over British, social dialects (and how they reflected the stereotypes against the poor).  There are so many ways the Industrial Revolution coincides with issues in our society today - issues of oppression and classism.

I'm including with this post photos of an art project I recently created.  Granted, I am not a visual artist; but the project coincides with my research.  I'm also including some photos of some of my favorite antiques that are a part of my collection.  These antiques reflect the methods people used to dull the pain caused by industrialism.  Can't you see how similar this is to today's society?
