Film lesson: "Mountains of the Moon"

In the movie Mountains of the moon burton and john speak went on a journey to find the source of the nile river. Of course they couldn't do by themselves so they took a lot of slaves with to help them carry the supplies such as water, food, cloth, and much more. While on the journey many died from hunger and thirst. They also died from disesas and infections. They also had to survive lion attacks. When they found the nile river they named it lake victoria after the british queen. It was strange because it was in africa and they are from british. The british took advantage because they had guns, rifles, and supplies.

Karl Marx and communism

 karl Marx saw and learned about the industrial revolution and didnt like the  idea of all the factories and workers. Later on Karl went on to invent Communism. He thought it wasn't fair for  everybody because workers that work hard would get the same amount of money that the lazy kind of workers would get. This led him to create communism which is still in the world today. Communism is when the goverment has control over people and the people have no control over the goverment. He wanted communism to work for people could have the same amount of money as other higher workers.

nationalism and the creation of italy

Nationalism is the way you see your country or represent it. One example of how we are nationalistic is for example if we show our flag and the way we talk. And even the money we use. All the countries have a nationalism for example for us we use dollars and for a country like spain they use euros. We have holidays like christmas, thanksgiving and easter.
