Marxism is the name given to the philosophy of Karl Marx. He was the German sociologist who focused on the ill-side of capitalism. He wrote Das capital CITATION Kar67 \l 2057 (Marx K. , 1867) and Communist Manifesto CITATION Fri48 \l 2057 (Marx F. E., February 1848) to raise the voice against the injustices perpetrated by the rich bourgeoisie class. He and his friend Friedrich Engels worked to make working class more assertive in demanding socio-politico rights for the poor masses. This was an attempt to introduce the socialism and communist system for the rights of the poor labor class. Later on, some feminist made appearance on the world scene and the world witnessed the ushering of feminism, and the feminist theory. Notable feminists were: Michel Foucault, Judith Butler and Simon Debonair. Michael Foucault and the Judith Butler were among the radical feminists that challenged the existing patterns of heterosexuality in the world. Judith butler wrote Gender Trouble that highlighted the wrong notions of reality CITATION Jud90 \l 2057 (Butler, 1990). In addition, Michel Foucault who was her contemporary also highlighted the term sexuality in his book CITATION Mic76 \l 2057 (Foucault, 1976). Simon debonair in her book the Second Sex CITATION Sim49 \l 2057 (Beauvoir, 1949) also voiced her concerns for the rights of woman that have been subjugated on the basis of their gender and sexuality.
After such radical movements in the past, it is the era of post humanism which is creating the buzzword in this modern technological age. It establishes that an entity can exist in a form other than being human. CITATION Ros13 \l 2057 (Braidotti, 2013) and also illustrates the genetically modified food and the dawn of artificial intelligence in the world. Similarly, the age we are living in is about post colonialism. It is the age where states are sovereign, and there is no existence of colonies in the world where the right of self-determination rules.
