Andrew

M y Likes, dislikes, and a few other views. Andrew B1  Yesterday I liked to eat junk food, But I hated to take baths. I didn’t believe in God, But believed in evolution I felt unhappy about school, But was joyful for fast food. I was nervous about Middle school, But I was confident about Lego.

Today I like iPad games, But hate broccoli. I don’t believe the tooth fairy, I believe in typing instead of writing. I’m grumbling about swimming, But cheering about Clash of Clans (Game). I’m nervous about laptop games, But confident about reading.

Tomorrow I’ll like video games. I’ll dislike my brother. I won’t believe in Santa Claus, I will believe in Laser-guided nuclear missiles. I’ll be furious about pianos, But I’ll be delighted about $$$. I’ll be nervous about work, But I’ll be confident about being fired.

5/28/2014 Andrew Chang B1  Is Communism Good or Bad for the Economy? Many people think that communism is not a useful way of life. Communism, developed by Karl Marx, is based on theories, theories that are not true. Three of them are below for you to read, and you will see how these theories are not true. The communists developed a theory with the surreal assumption that all men, by nature, will choose to work hard. On this theory they created a common home, a commune, for many people to live in. In exchange, the people brought in their work earnings and wages to the commune, and anyone in the commune can withdraw that money for personal use. However, people soon realized that they could stick in the commune all day and party, while drawing out hard-earned money from the toiling workers. Soon, the toiling workers notice that the partiers get the same money as them, so they joined the party. Soon, there were no workers left. Another theory is that of resources. If you have millions of workers constantly using natural resources, sooner or late you have shortages. Then they will have to choose between trade with other countries for supplies or to ration themselves. If they choose to ration themselves the country will have more shortages, this time not of money, but food, electricity, gadgets, furniture. Also, factories will close, and workers will be jobless. Then, the country will lose it’s trading options, like their specialties - For example, if a country specials in making furniture, they have no wood, cloth, and nails to create furniture. Then, the trade will close, since there is nothing to trade with, and then they will lose more, since a country depends on trade a lot. Therefore, if communists overproduce**,** they will drain that land dry of any natural resources. The communists assume that all people have very good self-governance. Their way of life means everyone is equal, but no leaders mean no country! They assume everybody has the same thoughts about something, but, in reality, people have different views and argue so much the country plunges in chaos. In the army, soldiers have no commanders, so they do not know what to do. This is disastrous, since a country without an army cannot be strong. No one listens to each other, mistakes are created, opposing people fight, and all of these make a weak economy. Communism is not the best economic model for three reasons. First, communists assume all humans prefer to work by nature. Second, they assume that resources will never run out. Third, they assume everyone has very well self-governance and the same ideas. Now, you have read enough to think what thousands, maybe millions, of other people think-Communism is bad for the economy
