The Meiji Restoration of Japan

The restoration of Japan all started when U.S. Commodore Matthew Perry landed at Japanese soils "bullying" them. By "bullying" Japan, it means that the United States were showing off how good their military was to them. Once the saw all the technological advances and the size of the ships the Americans had when they set sail at Japan, the Japanese became impressed and signed a treaty in which the Japanese opened two ports for the U.S. to trade with them. Japan was in need of reformation since their economy was in a threshold due to their lack of technology from the industrial revolution the West had when they came to trade with Japan. Also during that time the Japanese shogun government collapsed in which lead to the emperor(at that time the emperor was Meiji) to take full control of Japan leading to the Meiji era. With the economy in jeopardy, the Japanese take a look at every industrial aspect the West had, and mimic some of that for Japan's use. This mimic has raised the trend of Japan's economy back to the positive side of the graph. Japan is an archipelago which is a group of small islands close to each other.

Karl Marx and Communism

Karl Marx ideas of communism was the direct result of the hatred he feel for capitalism. It was all about the idea of every person being entitled to economic equality. For example, in communism, people have an equal salary of money no matter what job they work at in their society. Another example of Marx's communism ideas is the government entitling equality to houses and business spots to people in that society. Marx wanted his communist ideas to take over the world since most of the world has converted to industrialization and capitalism. But the important reason is to bring economic equality so that peace is fulfilled in every society without all the violence of protests for injustice working conditions that capitalists give people for little money. That is why he see capitalists as the bad guy in society and people that supports and acknowledges his ideas(communists) as the good guys in society. In other words capitalists are selfish, rich, and careless to other people, while communists care for people especially for their economic issues.

Karl Marx and the Industrial Revolution

Karl Marx was not a big fan of the Industrial Revolution. He hated it so much of some of the aspects of the Industrial Revolution that has changed human society. He disliked the working conditions in industrial factories which were very dangerous. Most of all, he disliked the fact that capitalists are gaining lots of money and political power while their workers are treated like garbage. Therefore Marx wanted to see changes to occur in the economic world. These changes include people getting enough money for their necessity in which was shared equally to everyone. There would be no private ownership of property; people have equal ownership of housing and business. There would be no capitalists becoming monopolies and give little money to workers. These economic ideas of equality are known as the ideas of Communism.
