assignment for Sept.14

The demand for oil can be influenced by price, economic conditions, and weather.The thing is that the Price and economic conditions are much related and it will be control most of the people to purchase the oil. However these days, well they do consider these factors, but also the prices goes up with no reasons too. Most countries depend on importing oils, and when OPEC countries raise the price, or supply very small amount of oil, all the countries those imports the oil have to accept the situation. The reason why the price of oil seems to not work as we expect is that we can't figure out what the export countries think, like they always think and analyze to sell in expensive ways to make more benefits for themselves.

Karl Marx

EARLY LIFE
Karl Marx was born in Germany, on May 5, 1818, the son of a lawyer. His parents were descendants of a long line of rabbis. His father was barred from the practice of law because he was Jewish, so he converted to Lutheranism. Karl was baptized in the same church at the age of 6. Karl attended a Lutheran elementary school but later became an atheist and a materialist, rejecting both the Christian and Jewish religions. 
Karl attended the Friedrich Wilhelm Gymnasium in Trier for 5 years, graduating at the age of 17. He learned history, mathematics, literature, and languages, particularly Greek and Latin. Karl became very skillful in French and Latin, both of which he learned to read and write fluently. In later years he taught himself other languages, so that as a mature scholar he could also read Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Scandinavian, Russian, and English.

IDEAS
The central idea in Marx's thought involves two basic concepts: that the economic system always determines the current ideas, and that history is an ongoing process keeping up with the economic institutions that change in regular stages.
He believed that the state institution and the capitalistic structure were tools of the bourgeois to support their own interests at the expense of the proletariat, or working class. He believed that the proletariat, which has massively superior numbers, should rise up to over throw the system and create a classless society.
INFLUENCE

Marxism achieved its first great triumph in the Russian Revolution, when its successful leader, Vladimir Ilich Lenin, a lifelong follower of Marx, organized the Soviet Union as a proletarian dictatorship (country ruled by the lower class). Lenin based the new government on Marx's philosophy as Lenin interpreted it. Thus, Marx became a world figure and his theories became a subject of universal attention and controversy (open to dispute). Marx wrote hundreds of articles, brochures, and reports, but only five books.
