                       THOMAS HUMPHREY MARSHALL

Thomas Humphrey Marshall (19 December 1893,London -29 November 1981,Cambridge) was a British sociologist, famous for his essay collection Citizenship and social class.

Citizenship

He wrote a seminal essay on citizenship, "Citizenship and Social class". It was published in 1950.

Types or rights

He analyzed the development of the citizenship in three different points and according to the historical development:
·         Civil rights in the XVIII century
·         Political rights in the XIX century
·         Social rights in the XX century. 

He said that the total citizenship only exist when someone has this three types of rights and it doesn't depend on the social class that one belong.The rights developed in different rhythms:
1.      CIVIL RIGHT means: individual freedom, personal freedom, freedom of the word, freedom of the conscience, property rights, hiring rights and equality in front of the law. 

2.      POLITICAL RIGHT: the participation in the political power like elector or agent of them. 

3.      SOCIAL RIGHT : education, work, public health, a house etc.

Main criticism.
Marshall's analysis of citizenship has been criticised on the basis that it only applies to males in England. 
Marxist critics point out that Marshall's analysis is superficial as it does not discuss the right of the citizen to control economic production, which they argue is necessary for sustained shared prosperity.


From a feminist perspective, the work of Marshall is highly constricted in being focused on men and ignoring the social rights of women and impediments to their realisation.

                   RIGHTS AND RESPONSABILITIES

We had read a text about the higher Education in Spain. The text it’s about: Spain has 75 universities in total. 50 of them are public (48 from Autonomous Communities and 2 from the Ministry of Education and Science )and 25 private (7 belong to the Catholic Church). The first university was build in 1218 in Salamanca.

By the time, more girls go to the university, they increased around 40%.
After this, in the text we can find the university types and the studen’s cycles among other interesting information.
After the text, we work around a new about who is paying the rest of my degree. It was a really interesting text and very useful to know about our payment because sometimes we think that we pay everything and we are wrong.

In the new we find interesting information like:
  • Each student pay just the 15% of his/her degree.
  • The taxes of Spain are lower than United States or Japan.
  • The students pay between 732 and 1100 euros anually.
  • Andalucia has the cheapest tax per credit, 12.20€ and Navarre is the more expensive one, 18.20€ per credit. 

 My rights/ My responsibilities (Individual)

We talk about each person’s rights and duties as to have a house, education,health system…) and we discuss between us.
