First Quarter: Proud Stuff

Out of all the things I have done in first quarter, I am most proud of the final part of the Industrial Revolution project. I worked very hard on that project. I took it home and finished the two main pages, the cover, the title, and the bibliography. Although my partners did help me I still think that I did the most work on this project. After all I spent about 3-4 hours two night s in a row so I think I deserve a lot of credit. Also I was the one who edited that video after school so I think I deserve credit for that too. Over all I think that my partners do deserve some credit, I just deserve a little bit more.
Here is an excerpt from the expository piece:
The concepts of Socialism and Communism began to spread during the 19th century, almost at the same time when the Industrial Revolution was spreading across Europe. One of the greatest philosophers of that time, Karl Marx, along with his friend, Friedrich Engels, developed the philosophy of Communism, and in 1848 published the Communist Manifesto, which became “Bible” for communists. In Karl Marx’s words, Communism is: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.” Thus, Communism is a type of society that is based on equality and no competition. Marx and Engels saw that the working class, the Proletariat, was being taken advantage of by the upper class, the Bourgeoisie. Noticing this they ‘called’ upon the Proletariat to overthrow the social order and create a classless society. They wanted the Proletariat to create a new world: a Communist world! An intermediate form of Communism, called Socialism, was based on the principle “From each according to his ability, to each according to his work.”
