Make The Reader Full Moon

Both the stories we were asked to read contain

Capitalism Socialism And Democracy By Joseph A Schumpeter

"Capitalism, socialism, and Democracy" by Joseph
A. Schumpeter Schumpeter believes that
governmental or political decisions are made on a
majority basis; they do not allow for differing
levels of choice for individuals because they
produce a single outcome; the market allows for
each individual to come to an agreement at the
level he feels comfortable. Thus, the more that is
left within the scope of the market, the more
likely it is that agreement can be achieved while
still maintaining freedom....

was Braveheart. Staring in this movie was Mel

I chose this movie because it is, hands down, the
best movie of all time. It had a lot of good war,
love and inspirational scenes to occupy any mind
for the full three hours. Braveheart relates to
sociology because it talks of social class, right
