Many would say that our current school system is flawed in many ways, one of which is the manner in which they get funding and quality of the information they are implanting into our children’s minds. There however is a way we can fix this, that is if we take on a movement of Interdependence, this means everyone has a sense of citizenship in their community and the world for that matter, do you agree with this? If you do than you would be able to relate to Benjamin Barber and the writing in his article, The Educated Student: Global Citizen or Global Conumer?, because he brings attention to these topics. At the beginning of his article Barber discusses how our founding fathers intended for all of our citizens to be well educated, “John Adams argued hard for schools for every young man…Thomas Jefferson made the same argument for public schooling for every potential citizen in America…” (Barber 416.3.2-3). He then proceeds to discuss how in present time there public school systems are being forced to run advertisements of companies in exchange for funding, because they are not funded enough without it; “We have watched this commercialization and privatization, a distortion of the education mission and its content, going to the heart of our schools themselves.” (Barber 417.11.1). Benjamin Barber puts great emphasis on the fact that we as a nation need to better understand citizenship and what it means to be a citizen, and on top of that be more aware of the other nations of this world and our relationship to them. We are a very multicultural nation, but he expresses how little we care about that and how we don’t understand that it gives us an advantage that we need to capitalize on. (421.28-29). Benjamin Barber has written many other articles and is still pushing the movement for Interdependence.…
Despite the poor working conditions and the inequality that industrialization under capitalism creates (“The Industrial Revolution and Economic Growth”, 529) it is still a necessary step for Russia because it lays the groundwork for a successful socialist and eventually communist system of government that will allow all members of Russia to flourish. “[The Communist] openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions;”(Carl Marks and Friedrich Engel, The Communist Manifesto) Therefore it is important to note that capitalism is an impractical form of government that should not be implemented for any long term scenario it is merely a stepping stone that is unfortunate but essential to the development of a successful government. Then why must Russia endure capitalism? Why not skip straight to communism? It is for this reason, A does not equal C meaning that each step in the process is essential to getting the end result.…

Each language shapes its own culture within a country by allowing people to create an unique identity. Migration from other places, from history, has contributed to the richness in diversity of cultures, ethnicities and most importantly, languages, in developed countries. Prominently in Russia, the native people acquire descent from numerous ethnicities around the world such as Turks, Iranians, early Mongols, Turks, Jews, and Samoyeds (Central Intelligence Agency). Due to the vast cultural influences that impact Russian culture, distinct languages and cultures were bound to emerge from these outside influences from history. Currently, there are over 180 minority languages developed in Russia (BBC). While there is evident language diversity…
The Russian Revolution was one of the most important revolutions in history. Just like the French people, Russians got tired of being treated unfairly by the Higher classes, and so decided to revolt against them. However unlike the French, they could not be satisfied, or entertained for long by a single revolution, reason why they did many revolts. Each time retreating at its middle, until they finally were annoyed and determined enough to overthrow the Government and change their lives as they knew it. Even so, that wasn’t the only cause of the Russian Revolution, along the many revolts came various relevant causes and events, but only few of them stood out, with such importance to today’s history of the causes for the Russian…

In the early nineteenth century, a zenith emerged out of Anglo-Russian hostilities as their competitive natures helped them conquer Central Asia, particularly in Persia. Tension starting building between these world powers because Britain decided to take a provocative approach to its foreign policy in the Balkans, Caucasus, Afghanistan, and Persia. Thus, the British spheres of influenced were far more advanced. The British also developed around Russophobia around 1815 because the Russia’s appearance in Central Asia and Persia threatened their control in India. As a result, Britain felt the need to combat Russia’s presence in Persia to protect their commercial interest, while engaging in an interesting war of the mind. For over a hundred years,…
