3rd blog post
This week in Econ we picked a partner and acted as Karal Marx and Adam Smith acting as if they were having a conversation. This included quotes from the two men and improvised lines based on things they would have said based on their views. Then after we did this we had a potluck meal. Then on Friday the day of our test we watched a video that supported the free enterprise system. This video made a lot of great points. It gave one example of communism comparing it to a class room in which all the students in a class room will distribute the points they earn equally. In this scenario all of the students even the F students of the class room disagreed to this system. So if this system doesn't even appeal to a small group such as a group of high school students then how is this effective for a nation?

I agree with you, the video did make many good points. The Karl Marx and Adam Smith dialogue helped us grasp a better understanding of their views.
ReplyDeleteTrue. There were valid information in that video.
ReplyDeleteExactly, how can a country expect to please its people and succeed when everyone is equal, then the hard workers will drop their working standard and the lazy will never advance because they all get what they need so there is no point in working hard to get it if you don't have to.
ReplyDeleteI think it was smart how you added the end of that as a question about how if we can't make a fair decision on a system then how is the nation supposed to do so itself.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your point how when everything is distributed equally no one can win. Sometimes people have to fail for the success of others. Not everyone can win in each situation.
ReplyDeletei agree with you if this system does not appeal to a small group then how could it appeal and work for our whole country.
