They were happy and took showers.

I also remember that I colored in some countries.

Karl Marx and Communism

In January 1846 Marx Communist Correspondence Committee. Communist is a system where every one its treated the same. Meaning if there's a doctor and there's a pizza guy they both get payed the same so that way no one would take advantage of anyone else. Meaning no one would be treated by the higher class or the lower class. Every one is the same class and that's how Communist was. So that's why there's no class problems. The higher class couldn't say nothing wrong to the low class because they got payed the same amount of money. He believe that religion was "an opiate for the masses". He thought that the religion was what got people crazy. That's Communism and that's what Karl Marx thoughtful ideas were.

Nationalism and the Creation of Italy

Definition:
Nationalism is the belief that one's greatest loyalty should not be the king to a king or an empire but to a nation but to a nation of people who share a common culture and history.

I'm a nationalistic because I share two cultures and that basically makes me nationalism. My parents are from South America and I was born in North America. There's two different cultures. When it's November I celebrate the turkey day and also when its July four I also celebrate it. But when its my other cultures holidays I also celebrate it. I really think that's what shows that I'm nationalistic.
Italy was not a independent culture and then it became to be a nationalism meaning free culture(freedom).

Simon Bolivar and Latin American Revolutions

Simon Bolivar was born in July 24, 1783. His parents were wealthy he was in Caracas, Venezuela. His parents died and he was really despite about it. When he was a teenager he reached to school and his guardian or pupil saw that his "son" was so smart and was so into studying. Simon Bolivar was called the liberator. He liberate many people from many countries for example Colombia, Venezuelan, Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia. He was like an hero for them. He also ruled South America and the Spanish. He got married to a Spanish girl but once they were leaving together. Bolivar's wife died of a yellow fever. The yellow fever it comes from a mosquito that transmitted.
Simon Bolivar was really sad because of his wife. He decided to go back to Europe and he decided to study philosophies of Rousseau and that's how smart he was. Later then he became the liberator meaning the guy of the freedom.

John Locke and "The Enlightenment"

The right that Jefferson is talking about is that all man are equal and that the government has equal power. People have the right to do anything and be a good citizen. They have the right to have liberty and happiness, they also have the right to be safety and happy. They also have to protect theirs rights. All the men from the government should get the power from the people. Lock said that people are born with natural rights as well as liberty.What they both wrote came from the same idea that people were born with the rights.

Copernicus and the trial of Galileo

The scientific revolution is the time when the teachers in the school started teaching the students that the humans came from monkeys. People at that time never believed that so the teacher went to jail. In 1633 Galileo got in trail. Two worlds came to cosmic conflict. Galileo believed in science and the catholic church didn't. Galileo made so much stuff and that's history. He made a microscope and thanks of him we have microscopes.

Scientific Revolution: The Scientific Method

Scientific Revolution is when the people started moving to another religion. For example if some one was in the catholic religion and that person moved to another religion, that's called scientific revolution. Scientific revolution affected all the people that was charged from another religion. I think that every one should have their own freedom to choose their own religion.
The scientific method is when you search for information in the Internet. Then you have to make hypothesis. After that you use the hypothesis to make predictions. Then you test those experiment for reference. Then repeat the steps and see if the hypothesis was right.

Evolution vs. Creation

Evolution is when the nature was created it self. For example, People say that we became from a monkey. Monkeys got became humans in centuries and that's how we became humans. The plants and animals were made by it self. That everything just appeared all of the sudden.
Meaning some how the monkey got developing and became humans.
The creation theory says that god made us. At the beginning god made Adam and Eve to be fruitful and have as many kids they could so that way the world be created. Then god made night and day so did he made animals and tress.
I believe in the creation theory because there's no way the world was created its self. I think that god made the world. That's my believe and no one will change what i believe on. I also think that god had many reasons for us to be alive and I believe on him.
