ken aston
until 1966, the referees used to warn the players and the managers verbally without any significant repercussions on the foul they have made.
however, if a foul is too clumsy and a player had to be sent off, the referee must tell the player to leave the field.
this norm had many flaws in it, and it was made pretty evident in a particular game.
the quarter-final between england and argentina was full of drama, fouls, and controversy, all at the same time. one specific incident took place, and the argentinian captain committed an offensive foul on an english player.
this left referee ken aston no option but to send the argentinian captain off.
but since the player was full of anger and agitation, he continued playing the game and said he didn't hear the referee's warning of sending him off earlier.
after such a high-profile game ended in such a controversy, a new solution was needed to make sure the players listen to the referee's warnings and signals.
finding the answer was also given to ken aston, and he got inspiration from traffic lights.
therefore, he suggested that fifa introduce cards into the game.
a yellow card would mean it is just a warning for the foul committed and shouldn't be repeated, whereas the red card told that you have to leave the field as the challenge committed is a major one and could have injured the opposition player.
this move turned out to be a phenomenal one not only on a short-term basis but also in the more extended scheme of things.
the 1970 fifa world cup was the first time this rule was implemented in a major tournament involving countries worldwide. -
karl marx
karl marx was a philosopher, economist, and revolutionary who is known for his contributions to the field of sociology and his critique of capitalism. marx is best known for his ideas about class conflict, the labor theory of value, and the concept of historical materialism, which posits that the development of societies and economies is driven by changes in the means of production.
marx introduced a number of important terms and concepts that have had a lasting impact on literature and intellectual thought. some of the most notable terms and concepts introduced by marx include:
alienation: the idea that individuals are separated from their own humanity and from the products of their labor as a result of the capitalist mode of production.
class: a group of individuals who share a common economic position in society and who are united by their common interests.
class consciousness: the awareness that individuals have of their own class position and the ways in which it shapes their lives.
dialectical materialism: a method of understanding social and economic phenomena that involves the synthesis of opposing forces or ideas through the process of conflict and resolution.
exploitation: the act of using or manipulating someone or something for one's own advantage, often at the expense of others.
historical materialism: the idea that the development of societies and economies is driven by changes in the means of production.
labor theory of value: the idea that the value of a product is determined by the amount of labor required to produce it.
proletariat: the class of wage-earning workers in a capitalist society.
surplus value: the difference between the value of a product and the cost of the labor required to produce it.
these terms and concepts introduced by marx have had a significant impact on literature and intellectual thought, and they continue to be widely studied and debated to this day.
