karl marx and communism

karl marx was a german man who did not like the ideas of communism over that time he also  meet a man named Friedrich Engels this is the man that he spent most of his adult life with.  they spent their times writing about the works of Davin ricardo and adam smith . Marx ideas  formed in the form of a book called "the communist manifesto" were he tell us about how communism is going to be the destruction of itself he did not think very kindly of communism . marx wrote more about the economic causes .


          Communism is were the whole country gets paid the same thing  were people who work hard get paid the same thing as the people  who dont work as hard. Marx saw that the works of the world is the good guys they work for they money they get what they earn.marx saw what was wrong with capitalism he saw them as the bad guys he beleive communism  and the workers cud control the country, in the communist countrys they had censored the press were people cud not really say what they want to.

Nationalism and the Creation of Italy

nationalism is when someone is loyal to a country before it was a king or empire but at the creation of city states people began to beleive and be loyal to their home country or the county that had owned their county at that time. I am not very Nationalistic but when people that ikno are Nationalistic they usually put an american flag outside their house and people in school always stand for then pledge of allegience. Nationalistic people take their county seriously i have been in encounters were i may have been saying a joke about america or even another county and a person says to me u shud respect the country that u live in the country that has given u freedom to be who u are . To me i dont really take in to consideration about stuff like this but i do take in mind about how other people feel about this country i learn not to disrespect peoples counrtys .
Though they say that Nationalism caused empires to fall for italy it was a little bit differnt it helped they be free like most other country that gained there freedom they had a revolt a revolution. This revolt was lead by Giuseppe Mazzini a 26 year old .In his efforts he had failed and young italy had fallen soon after in the years later King Victor Emmanuel II named Count Camillo di Cavour begins to try to unite italy Mazzini belives that he is not trying to unite italy but just to give poweer to sardini though they wanted power in the end they were still uniting italy after gaining power over the north part he tryies fir the south so he teames up with a nationalis rebel party. after total unification it was hard for the people of italy to get used to having a unified country but the pope still govened a party of italy meaning the church still had alot of power in italy the placed he goverened weas the vatican city.

John Locke and "The Enlightenment"

the constitution is a document that tells the rights of the people of the united states of america .it say that all men are created equal what this means is that no other man has more power than the other but in our world to day that is a different story. they also tell us that we have the right to "life liberty and the prusit of happiness"this right tells us that we have the right to live our life with the intention to live a happy and fufilling life .
also it tells us about how that we are the government that we can control the government to a certain point . the people of the united states of america is the base of the the government they can not pass a law without consulting the people with that our government is a democracy . basing ideas off the enlightenment john hancock and the other who wrote the constitution we must alwas take a vote before anything is done that will change the country for good or for worst. the government gains all of its power from the people the people vote in the brances and any one who joins with out the people the government wud just use do anything they want.

Scientific Revolution: The Scientific Method

During the scientific revolution there was the scientific meathod it starts off with an observation then anaylisis then u build your hypothesis then u do hypothesis testing after testing and proving ur theory correct uis becomes a scientific theory.When u start off u take ur observstions 0f I.E( your observation of how why birds migrate during the winter )u observe many things flight pattern were they fly to and what type of birds do this.Then u analyze the data collected in the observation when u form ur hypothesis u begin to build it up with ur data . my hypothesis is that birds fly away from colder places to warmer places cause they dont like the cold .
After all of that with data colleted and ur observation u begin ur hypothesis testing . now that u kno why birds fly away from the cold u can now test so u can prove it right u can do that by tracking a flock of birds and their flight paatterns lets say they fly from new york to florida dunring the winter and u see that and it its 60degress in new york and 80 degrees in florida and u continue for 6t months and they still fly away from the cold places to the warmer places u get ur scientifc theory that some birds fly from the colder places to the warmer places and u can back up that theory with data of the birds thaat you were tracking. in conclusion u can see that using the scientific meathod uses observation analisis testing u get ur theeory in the end .

Evolution vs. Creation

What i see when i think of evolution i see the creation of animals and people coming from matter cells and every non living thing that was here before the earth wen peopl say then what created w.e came first wen they say that god had created it all in my mind i bveleive that is a lie and that there is no real holy being that made all and i dont beleive that theree is a heaven and hell only ppl rotting in the ground after death it may br crude but thats what beleive i am an atheis and if somone wud like to challeng me on such case plz be my guest.
also on the creation side it is said that god created us all and he was the one who mad everything i find it imposible that somone or somthin cud do somthing like that . how CAN PPL ACUALLY SAY THERE IS A GOD!!!! there is no real proof that he ever excitsted and i don think that there ever will be cause there is no way a u can prove that he was ever real cause he is just fake in all he is somthing that no one can see or hear wenn people say that i heard gods voice and it told me to do bla bla bla it cant be it just ur mind telling you somthing and just giving it a from that fits ur need . wen they say that they havce seen then in a dream thats exacly the dam point of it u see him (still not real) in a dream all he is is a dream nothing but ur mind making an image of what u want him 2 look like or what he is predicted to look like .
but thats just me rambiling i see that i beleive in science more than releigon so wen i see that i see what i beleive that creation is not possibly but evolution can be proven so inconclusion evolution is the only choice im not saying u cant beleive in creation but i am trying to convince u that this is the better choice .
