Nietzsche & Culture/ In class Assignment #2
1. In my culture strength is only seen through male figures. Women are weak creatures who need men to protect them from the rest of the cruel world. Male figures are dominant and are the ones with the power. Men are presented as macho and always ready to protect their honor and image.
2. Nietzsche refers to strength in On the Genealogy of Morals as those of a higher class such as nobles or aristocrats. According to Nietzsche the translation of good in other languages means noble or aristocratic. The power is only given to those in a position of nobility. The people with the strength or power are those of the higher classes.

The following quotes do agree with each other. I believe in both quotes it speaks of the advance of human nature. Marx speaks about how towns save people from a ridiculous life where as Nietzsche speaks about how man was enlightened through the priestly form. Basically Human are able to progress for the better. The only that conflicts in the quotes is in the second quote in which Nietzsche refers to the depth acquired as “evil” and a “dangerous form” other than that they would flow nicely.
“The bourgeoisie has subjected the country to the rule of the towns. It has created enormous cities, has greatly increased the urban population as compared to the rural, and has thus rescued a considerable part of the population from the idiocy of rural life.” (CM, Part I)
“(B)ut it is only fair to add that it was on the soil of this essentially dangerous form of human existence, the priestly form, that man first became an interesting animal, that only here did the human soul in a higher sense acquire depth and become evil...” (OGM, First Essay, Section 6)
