How does Marx explain the why a commodity becomes money?

On page 139 Marx states “Everyone knows, if nothing else, that commodities have a common value-form which contrasts in the most striking manner with the motley natural forms of their use values. I refer to the money form. Now, however, we have to perform a task never even attempted by bourgeois economics. That is, we have to show the origin of this money form, we have to trace the development of the expression of value contained in the value relation of commodities from its simplest, almost imperceptible outline to the dazzling money form.”

Then at the bottom of page 186 Marx writes “The difficulty lies not in comprehending that money is a commodity, but in discovering how, why and by what means a commodity becomes money.”

How does Marx explain the why a commodity becomes money?

ENGL 201 Section 064; Write a rhetorical analysis

Use this speech for analysis: https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2016/06/09/remarks-president-lgbt-pride-reception

Write a rhetorical analysis of at least 1000 words using MLA format (as described under the Document Formatting
heading in the syllabus) including using an appropriate MLA heading. If your final rhetorical analysis does not meet this minimum length
requirement, then it will not be accepted and will incur a late penalty until the minimum length requirement is met. Your rhetorical analysis
needs to focus on a historical speech and analyze the rhetorical appeals used within it. Though the first part of your paper should discuss the
importance and context of your chosen speech, the majority of your paper needs to explain what rhetorical appeals are seen within the speech
and how they help the speaker’s/author’s overall purpose.

Operating System Design Process Control

Assignment

Design a kernel module that iterates through all tasks in the system using the
for each process() macro. In particular, output the task command, state,
and process id of each task. (You will probably have to read through the
task struct structure in <linux/sched.h> to obtain the names of these
fields.) Write this code in the module entry point so that its contents will appear
in the kernel log buffer, which can be viewed using the dmesg command. To
verify that your code is working correctly, compare the contents of the kernel
log buffer with the output of the following command, which lists all tasks in
the system:
ps -el
The two values should be very similar. Because tasks are dynamic, however, it
is possible that a few tasks may appear in one listing but not the other.
Part II—Iterating over Tasks with a Depth-First Search Tree
The second portion of this project involves iterating over all tasks in the system
using a depth-first search (DFS) tree. (As an example: the DFS iteration of the
processes in Figure 3.7 is 1, 8415, 8416, 9298, 9204, 2808, 3028, 3610, 4005.)
Linux maintains its process tree as a series of lists. Examining the
task struct in <linux/sched.h>, we see two struct list head objects:
children
and
sibling
These objects are pointers to a list of the task’s children, as well as its siblings.
Linux also maintains a reference to the initial task in the system — init task
— which is of type task struct. Using this information as well as macro
operations on lists, we can iterate over the children of init task as follows:

struct task struct *task;
struct list head *list;

list for each(list, &init task->children) {
task = list entry(list, struct task struct, sibling);
/* task points to the next child in the list */
}
The list for each() macro is passed two parameters, both of type struct
list head:
• A pointer to the head of the list to be traversed
• A pointer to the head node of the list to be traversed
At each iteration of list for each(), the first parameter is set to the list
structure of the next child. We then use this value to obtain each structure in
the list using the list entry() macro.

Assignment

Beginning from init task task, design a kernel module that iterates over all
tasks in the system using a DFS tree. Just as in the first part of this project, output
the name, state, and pid of each task. Perform this iteration in the kernel entry
module so that its output appears in the kernel log buffer.
If you output all tasks in the system, you may see many more tasks than
appear with the ps -ael command. This is because some threads appear as
children but do not show up as ordinary processes. Therefore, to check the
output of the DFS tree, use the command
ps -eLf
This command lists all tasks—including threads—in the system. To verify that
you have indeed performed an appropriate DFS iteration, you will have to
examine the relationships among the various tasks output by the ps command.

SAMPLE ASSIGNMENT

Use any one of the above four tables along with a real-life example to demonstrate whether the operation of JOIN is an idempotent on the set of tables. Use any two of the above four tables along with a real-life example to demonstrate whether the operation of JOIN is commutative on the set of tables.

  • A database usually takes the key areas of business and breaks them into structured tables. Each table will store information on a key area; four of which are listed below.
  1. Staff table– A record of each member of staff and usually includes the hierarchy of management and job description. Let this table be denoted by T1.
  2. Customer table – This table will store who the customers are and how to contact them; e.g., address, email, …, etc. Let this table be denoted by T2.
  3. Product table – A table that brings all the product information together; such as product name, product color, product description, …, etc. Let this table be denoted by T3.
  4. Orders table – This table keeps a record of each order the company has processed and would refer to a lot of key areas in the business; e.g., who made the sale, who was sold to, what was sold, when it was sold, …, etc. Let this table be denoted by T4.
  • Background 2:
  1. An operator or a relation R acting on a set of elements is said to be an idempotent if, for any element x in the set, we have: xRx=x. For example, the logical conjunction AND is idempotent since for any statement p, we have (p AND p)=p; that is, the statements (p AND p) and p have the same truth values. Other examples of idempotent operations are (1): the absolute value function (ABS(x)=|x|) since ABS(ABS(x))=ABS(x) for any real number x, and (2): any function looking up a customer’s address in a database.
  2. An operator or a relation R acting on a set of elements is said to be commutative if for any two elements x and y in the set, we have xRy=yRx. For example, the operation of addition is commutative over the set of real numbers since for any two real numbers x and y, we have: x+y=y+x; e.g., 3+5=5+3. Multiplication of real numbers is also commutative but subtraction and division are not commutative operations.
  3. An operator or a relation R acting on a set of elements is said to be associative if for any three elements xy, and z in the set, we have (xRy)Rz=xR(yRz). For example, the operations of addition and multiplication are both associative since for example, (3+5)+2=3+(5+2), or (3*5)*2=3*(5*2).
  • Question 1: Use any one of the above four tables along with a real-life example to demonstrate whether the operation of JOIN is an idempotent on the set of tables (first indicate which of the four tables you have used in your demonstration).

  • Question 2: Use any two of the above four tables along with a real-life example to demonstrate whether the operation of JOIN is commutative on the set of tables (first indicate which of the four tables you have used in your demonstration).

  • Question 3: Use any three of the above four tables along with a real-life example to demonstrate whether the operation of JOIN is associative on the set of tables (first indicate which of the four tables you have used in your demonstration).
