Karl Marx Was Right We can’t say Karl Marx didn’t warn us: capitalism contains the seeds of its own destruction. In their chase for ever higher profits‚ the capitalists shed workers for machines.

1. Do you agree or disagree with Tony Hayward’s quote at the end of the case? Was this disaster strictly a BP failure or an industry accident? (One of my biggest mistakes was that I allowed myself to become the lightning rod for hatred and anger.” He went on to say‚ “I genuinely feel that this could have happened to anyone. This is not BP. It is an industry accident.) I mostly agree with Tony Hayward because an accident of that size is a result of a complex combination of mechanical failures‚

Slavery was against the Declaration of Independence. As a human being‚ freedom is essential and important element in one’s life. Without freedom‚ the consequence will be harm for both personal life and entire society. Douglass introduces in detail that slaves cannot have neither rights nor own wishes of doing things.

The Civil Rights movement of the 1960s was led in two distinctive ways by two very different men with all but the same aims and goals. Both Malcolm X and Martin Luther King wanted a better life for African Americans‚ although it is clear that Martin Luther King was far more successful than his rival.
