THREATS TO CAPITALISM

In the March 15, 2014  Jeremy Rifkin wrote on of the New York Times in which he described a new threat to capitalism  the costant lowering of a product's marginal cost, the cahnge in total cost that arises from producing one more unit of a goal.

The first inkling of the paradox came in 1999 when Naspter, the music serivice, developed a network e. The products that are made have costs and prices that are close to free, and that makes the product no longer subject to market forces. What Mr. Rifkin is triyng to clarify is that we are making havoc by changing the cost of money. If we continue one day everything will be free.

The one  example Mr. Rifkin gives is "Napster". Napster is a music services that developed a network enabling people to share music without paying a single cent. another example that is a threat to capitalism is the Internet overall it provides many ways to entertain humans.

"the Internet of things" is a reference that Mr. Rifkin  uses to describe the Internet. the Internet is full of websites and entertainment that you can find. this affects capitalism because you can know everything without leaving your house.

I disagree with the author Mr. Rifkin. Mr. Rifkin thinks that capitalism is the way to go because there are winners and losers, but if there's an easier way which is socialism. this system is where there's nobody that wins it a draw or we each get a fair share but we both win. I believe this is the best way to live especially In the United States.

Change Social Media (12)


The Industrial Revolution afftected alot of people, caused air and water population. It changed lives of many people because they earned higher wages in factories  than in small farms. People can afford to heat their homes with coal, eat beef, and wear neat and better clothes. The way the people work was much different from the farm lands than now, it started development plan sanitary laws and bulding regulation. In 17 years of age was the average lifespan.
There were many classes of people due to the fast change at the time.  There were the "middle class" or the new money, these people were the ones who owned the industries or businesses. Land owners  and the aristocrats were under the middle class because the land did not make money and the industries did.
The significance of the Industrial Revolution was to create more jobs and opportunities for people  to envolve and change the world by making invention and technology to keep moving on.
 The social media is a very important source in every teenagers life. It has impacted our lifes in the personal level like people have found another way to comunicate and entertain themselfs or you either can contact families that are distance from you. Their are also negatives in the social media. One thing is that most people share rumors about their personal stuff and can ruin their lifes and commit suicide. Also case of bulliyng and crimes that can happen through social media.

Letter To Obama



Dear President Obama,


Ukraine is a country in between Europe and Russia. It is currently going through a revolution. Ukraine's capital is Kiev. The languages spoken are Ukrainian and Russian. The religion taught is Christianity. The population is 44.9 million. The income per person is 3,310 thousand a year. Ukraine is on the news because it is fighting to join Europe but Russia is tryng to take them back.

Ukraine is separated politically because it wants to get closer to Europe's way of government, but part of it is Russian territory and they have a strong leader.

Russia is interested in Ukraine because it has a military base that belongs to Russia and is very important.

U.S and Europe is interested in Ukraine and its people because they don't want Ukraine to move backwards from the progress it has made for their people.

Obama should take command on this topic because they belong to the group NATO and this group protects a country who's is being attacked. Obama has the power to help Ukraine and solve their problems with peace.
