_____________________________________________________

Means of production (abbreviated MoP; German: Produktionsmittel), is a marxist concept describing the combination of the means of labor and the subject of labor used by workers to make products.

Means of labor include machines, tools, plant and equipment, infrastructure, and so on: "all those things with the aid of which man [sic] acts upon the subject of labor, and transforms it." (Institute of Economics of the Academy of Sciences of the U.S.S.R., 1957, p xiii). Those means of production participate in the process of exploiting labor for surplus value.[1] Subject of labor is the material worked on.

Means of production is sometimes confused with factors of production. The term factors of production is typically understood as an explanation for income as duly paid to owners of each means of production and also to the workers themselves within capitalism. By comparison, the term means of production applies to these means independent of their ownership and their compensation, and regardless of whether the mode of producing is capitalist, feudal, slave, group labor|communal or otherwise.

This term has been more simply described as the resources and apparatus by which goods and services are created. In an agrarian society it is the soil and the shovel, in an industrial society, it is the mines and the factories.

Metrosexual is a neologism generally applied to heterosexual men with a strong concern for their appearance, and who display many of the lifestyle tendencies of stereotypically homosexual men.

Here is one more definition.

Annotation: the addition of explanatory or critical comments to a *text*.

I believe the assignment was to read and annotate the two articles, and then bring them to class tomorrow, as opposed to posting the definitions on our blog. but I am sure anyone who hasn't yet done so will be grateful to you for doing their homework^^
