...The Communist Manifesto, written by Karl Marx, explains what it means to be a communist nation. According to Marx, a communist nation will allow everyone to own the land, everyone is responsible to work, and the state will control communications and transports. Marx said a communist nation will do and be much more but those list above are a few main points. The opposite of communism is capitalism, which is where private owners, rather than the state, control a country's trade and industry for profit. The United States of America is not communist but capitalist because America does not share land between citizens, does not force the disabled to work, and Americans can communicate how they please and ship their goods wherever. The United States of America allows citizens to own private property, unlike communist nations that Marx describes in his essay. In a communist nation, the nation will have an “abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes,” according to Marx. This means that there will be no private property but just public land which the people work. America does allow citizens to own land, and then use it for private purposes. There are private property rights in the Constitution, the fourth Amendment, regarding that individuals may hold and exercise their property, even if it is against the government itself. In a capitalist nation, the people are allowed free enterprise which Americans can do and communists cannot. Therefore...

...Frederick Jackson Turner is most successful at analyzing American history through his essay, “The Significance of the Frontier in American History”. This piece examines how life was first created here in America, as well as how the first frontier set the stage for numerous civilization advancements that would occur in the near future. Many Americans today seem to forget about the first settlements that served as the basis for what the United States of America has become. This essay accomplishes the goal of reminding those people of how majorly important each step was on the American frontier centuries ago. What was once just an enormous area of free, unoccupied land, is now the home of billions of people as well as numerous buildings, businesses, and modes of transportation....

...“If you build it they will come” fails for turtle crossings By Sarah Zelinski | 1 | It’s really too bad that turtles can’t read. | 2 | If they did, it would make saving them so much easier. When people create an ecopassage1 so the reptiles can safely cross a road by going underneath or over it, they could let the animals know with little signs saying “Don’t become roadkill! Safe crossing, left 20 meters.” | 3 | Instead, we have to rely on fencing to keep the turtles and snakes off roads, which is a good idea because 98 percent or more of turtles are killed in their first attempt at a road crossing. But the reliance on fences may be a problem, a new study shows. When there aren’t effective fences to keep the reptiles out, they don’t use the ecopassages, James Baxter-Gilbert of Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario, and colleagues report March 25 in PLOS ONE. | 4 | The study looked at the effectiveness of a series of ecopassages built along a 13-kilometer stretch of Highway 69/40 near Burwash, Ontario, near Lake Huron, a region with high reptile biodiversity. The passages ran beneath the highway and were paired with fencing along the road. The researchers looked at reptile activity along the roadway before and after the project was constructed, and also used another stretch of highway, near the Magnetawan First Nation, as a comparison. | 5 | They surveyed the roadside and put up cameras in the ecopassages to see what kind...

...Lê Quốc Bảo Living in Ho Chi Minh and Da Lat Sample Essays Can life in Ho Chi Minh City be considered a paradise? It is so difficult to respond to this question. Nowadays, there are so many people nationwide who choose Ho Chi Minh City as their second homes because they think they will get some convenient conditions from this, such as schools, hospitals, or money. In my case, I have lived and studied in Ho Chi Minh City since I graduated from high school in 1999. Living nearly 10 years in Ho Chi Minh City, I recognized that these are three typical differences which make Da Lat a better place to live in than Ho Chi Minh: weather, cost of living and transportation. One noticeable difference between the two places is the weather. Ho Chi Minh City has two distinct seasons: a very humid, rainy season and a long, hot, dry season throughout the year. The highest temperature climbs to approximately 39 degrees Celsius around noon in late April and the lowest may be about 16 degrees Celsius in the early mornings of late December. In the dry season, December through April is really hot and humid. The hot climate is hard enough on the people that they have to turn air conditioners all day. Besides, in the rainy, May to November, is a little cold but still humid because it has been raining on this period of time. So, it is not easy to live in such a hot city because you always break into perspiration and feel uncomfortable in your daily routine. Like Ho Chi Minh City, Da Lat also has...

...Do you want to know why cats and rats/mice are enemies? Well, if you are wondering, this essay will explain is from two different stories and show how they are different. One legend is “Cat and Rat: Legend of the Chinese Zodiac” and in this story all the animals in the land are racing to have a year in the Chinese Zodiac named after them.

...place without beauty such as the Great Barrier Reef. In this essay I will prove that through cooperation and drive the people can change Australia’s climate back to the way it used to be. To stay away from the tragedy that is approaching we need to act now with three pro-active measures. By using less energy, finding new ways of transportation, and changing the ways of agriculture Australia is capable of climate change. The greenhouse effect is heating up the earth when burning fossil fuels (Bender et al. 13-14). Most societies depend on electricity. Using electricity more efficiently will lead to reducing the electricity needed made by coal and will help slim down the greenhouse effect (ABC Science). The greenhouse effect is when carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has accumulated and absorbs the radiation that comes to earth leading to higher temperatures around the world (Silver and DeFries 13-14). There are many important ways to reduce how much energy we use. One way is to turn off lights when they are not in need. Another way is to turn off appliances like televisions when we do not use them and to do simple things like taking a shower instead of a bath. “The science is clear: even if global emissions are cut rapidly from today, the impacts of climate change will continue to worsen until at least 2030 and these impacts will be borne most heavily by the world’s poorest countries.” (Hewett). Luster 2 Transportation is another thing that we need in order to thrive. “The transport...

This essay does a great job of drawing out the factors that played in to cause farmers to pursue another career. I would begin to become more and more difficult to farm, due to factors such as structural economical and political. This essay follows an American family farm that went through much adversity to stay afloat. John Kardel was a man of Germany who made his way to the new world to start his new American life. They settled in Iowa upon arrival to the new world and established a family farm. John Kardal was an intelligent man one can assume due to him realizing to travel as war west as he could.

...Development and Diffusion of Human Society This essay reviews the development of human society in Mesopotamia, diffusion of the chariot, and the development of the United States of America. Development of Early Human Society in Mesopotamia It is widely recognized that human civilization began in Mesopotamia, before any other part of the world. This was regardless of the fact that life at the place was quite unpredictable (Brown, 2006). Mesopotamia is a Greek term, which means life between two rivers. Mesopotamia is a vast land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Its land was both ideal for settlement and challenging at the same time, which contributed to the civilization of its inhabitants. The most significant physical geographical factor in Mesopotamia was the presence of many plants and animals that could be domesticated (Diamond, 1997). The land had fertile soils, thereby providing a good habitat for the plants and animals. They resulted from deposition of top-level soils from upper land and mountains, through the rivers. The fertile soils and the abundance of food allowed the farming to flourish, which caused the increase in human population. A further complement for agriculture was the presence of fertile soils. The Mesopotamians faced various challenges, which also contributed to the civilization. For instance, the climate, which was semi-arid and marked with annual unpredictable floods between, was a major challenge. Therefore, as the population figured out how...

...An Essay on Economic Theory An English translation of Richard Cantillon’s Essai sur la Nature du Commerce en Général An Essay on Economic Theory An English translation of Richard Cantillon’s Essai sur la Nature du Commerce en Général Translated by Chantal Saucier Edited by Mark Thornton 4 An Essay on Economic Theory © 2010 by the Ludwig von Mises Institute and published under the Creative Commons Attribution License 3.0. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Ludwig von Mises Institute 518 West Magnolia Avenue Auburn, Alabama 36832 mises.org ISBN: 978-1-61016-001-8 Foreword Robert F. Hébert Following a century of neglect, William Stanley Jevons, in the first blush of discovery, proclaimed Cantillon’s Essai, “the cradle of political economy.” Subsequent growth and development of economic thought has not really alerted us to the subtleties of this succinct appraisal. A cradle holds new life; and there can be little doubt that the Essai added new life to the organizing principles of economics. But “political economy” does not accurately describe the subject Cantillon addressed. Indeed, he scrupulously avoided political issues in order to concentrate on the mechanics of eighteenth-century economic life. When confronted by “extraneous” factors, such as politics, Cantillon insisted that such considerations be put aside, “so as not to complicate our subject,” he said, thus invoking a kind of ceteris paribus assumption before...

...which pose a threat to human health and social stability. Urban sprawl also called urban development, as expansion from the centre to outskirt, more cars are used, and then, leads to more vehicles exhaust emissions which are the main factor of climate change. More car use results in motorization, a lack of communications with friends and family results in social fragmentation. The Global Climate Coalition (GCC), the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and environmentalists suggest answers to these problems. This essay argues that some solutions work more effectively to these focusing on climate change, loss of land and negative impacts on public health. Climate change forms a serious threat to the environment, urban sprawl has resulted in serious emission of greenhouse gases as more cars are used which requires more energy use. Then, more and more global warming gases are released which leads to critical environmental problems. Martin (2007) points out car and land use lead to more greenhouse emissions. And cars and facilities are the main producers of global warming. Thereby, Environmental problems are having become acute in the twenty-first century. Gonzalez (2005) also indicates that expansion the city results in more emissions of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, and more energy use which is also a main factor leading to climate change. In order to solve these problems, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and the Global Climate Coalition...

...Noah Crawford 2/17/11 Pr. 3 Africa Essay There are many great rivers in the world, but one out-shines them all. That river is the Nile River. It is the longest river in the entire world, stretching from the very top of Egypt, all the way to the bottom of Uganda where it drains into Lake Victoria. The Nile River greatly affects the people who live along it. The land all along the Nile is very fertile and good for growing crops. Every year, the Nile overflows and sends minerals called silt onto the land. The silt makes the land more fertile for people to grow crops to eat and sell. The Nile also helps with transportation. Since it’s a river, people can from place to place by boat. The Nile, additionally, can be used for drinking water or for irrigating. Africa must be careful to keep its economy well-balanced. If there is not diversity in what in being manufactured, other parts in the economy will fall apart. For example, if Africa spent most of its time towards the mineral industry and were mostly just mining for precious minerals, all of the farmers who grow and sell cash crops will not be able to sell them. Then, they will lose income, not have a job, and not be able to support their family. Also, if Africa spent most of its time to the farming industry, the same thing will happen to miners. On top of all of that, if Africa spent its time too much on either industry, other counties that want to import certain goods from Africa might not be able to because of the...

...Mulu Berehe 05/15/14. Essay # 3. “What Sacagawea means to me” There are many contradictions in life, yet none as influential in everyone’s life as the idea of colonization. In “What Sacagawea Means to Me,” Sherman Alexie illustrates how colonization is a contradiction. He states “colonization might be a natural process, tragic and violent to be sure, but predictable and ordinary as well, and possibly necessary for the advance, however constructive and destructive, of all civilizations.” I agree that colonization does have both positive and negative effects. Colonization causes many changes in the lives of the people being colonized and those changes can be both good and bad. To me the ideal form of colonization would be how the missionaries who came to Ethiopia did it. European colonization resulted in many negative effects on the Native Americans. Colonization lead to the destruction of the Native Americans’ life as they knew it. Within a short period of time their way of life was changed forever. The changes were caused by a number of factors, including loss of land, disease, enforced laws which violated their culture and much more. When the Europeans arrived they brought with them diseases unknown to the natives. The natives had no immunity to these unknown diseases, so they were easily infected and died from these diseases. This lead to massive deaths in Native American communities as they came into contact with the settlers. The killing of natives was not just done...

...The lives of African Americans and Native Americans were almost entirely characterized by systematic discrimination and oppression. While each group has had similar experiences under the United States government, we must clearly distinguish between the two groups and their circumstances. Examining the components of Jim Crow and the Dawes Act, as well as the role of white society and the government, we gain insight into the layers of injustice experienced by African Americans and Native Americans. In this essay, I will examine the unique similarities and differences experienced by both groups. Shortly after the Civil War ended and African Americans were thought to have been freed, white policymakers in the South introduced laws that legalized...
