The meiji restoration of japan

For the most part japan has been a isolated secluded country. That was until Commodore Matthew Perry arrived with a fleet of steam powered ships. The Japanese have never seen big black steam driven monsters loaded with guns such as these and it was more then enough persuasion for japan to open its ports for American vessels. With all the new trade coming in and all the cultural diffusion and the Japanese getting pushed around they realized that they needed to make some changes. When Emperor Meiji came around that's just what happened. Japan threw away its feudal system and borrowed ideas from western countries. After some time japan became a modern powerful nation in Asia. By the way japan is an Archipelago which is a chain of islands =D

Karl Marx and communism

Karl Marx idea for communism was for the poor working man to rise up
above and create a fair equal classless society. He hated the fact that
some people could be well off while many suffered from poverty. In contradiction to what most people believe communism is actually a fairer equal way to run a country then
democracy its just people are so greedy and want everything for
themselves so Karl Marx's idea of communism never really got off the
ground. In most communist governments the people who work and run the
government become rich while the people are suppressed and the press
censored.

Karl Marx and the industrial revolution

Karl Marx was born a German Jew in 1818 even though his father converted to Christianity he never believed in either religions. He even stated that religion was the opiate of the people. He lived during the Industrial Revolution and resented it. He didn't like the image of the low class being trampled by the rich factory owners. This led him to think of a new form of government called Communism. Communism formed on a government based on the working man. Wealth property and power were more or less distributed evenly and fairly. Communism is looked down upon mostly because it has never been proven to work. Most communist countries are ruled by power hungry dictators and even if their not it all boils down to people being too greedy to live with Communism. To put simply Communism looked better on paper.

The French Revolution: Social Causes

The problem with the French government that led to the revolution was that the two upper class sections that made about 2% of the population the first and second estates (The Clergy and the Nobles) where exploiting the poor and middle class the third estate (The Peasants and Workers) During meetings each estate got 1 vote in that way the first and second estate could always outvote the third. The third estate got so tired with this they broke off and had their own National Assembly. On July 14, 1789 French citizens stormed the Prison Garrison known as the Bastille. In a matter of hours the citizens defeated the soldiers inside and the Bastille was taken and the prisoners released in an attempt to show the king and the government they were a force to be reckoned with. This in turn led to the King and Queen being executed some years later and they way was paved for a democratic France.

Evolution Vs. Creation

To me evolution makes much more sense than creation. Evolution means organisms and other things slowly adapted to their surroundings over time such as ape to man. Creation states that all things were just instantaneously created by a higher being or god. I'm a firm believer of the evolution theory which according to me should no longer be a theory but a proven fact. Charles Darwin explained and wrote a book about the evolutionary theory called the Origin Of Species. In fact I think the only reason that the evolution theory isn't considered a fact is because of the firm religious believers who strongly oppose the idea of being related to simple apes.
