Chapter 1 Of The Division of Labor Adam Smith’s Chapter 1 of the Wealth of Nations begins by stating that the greatest improvements in the productive power of labor lie in the division of labor. Even in the production of very simple products‚ division of labor always increases productivity exponentially. Adam Smith offers three reasons on how the quantity of work increases.

Beast of No Nation‚ is a movie I would have never watched. After watching it has given me insight of how a war can take away a childhood and innocence. This movie I would consider a raw movie‚ with very graphic scenes and detailed violence. This movie did a great job portraying how children are taken away from their childhood and used as soldiers. These children don’t choose this life but are forced to join these rebel groups in order to stay alive. The story of Agu in Beast of No Nation is very heartbreaking
