Quarter 2: Assignment 2

Karl Marx (K. Gammino)

The question at hand is, should we send our people to other countries to gather resources? The answer is obvious, no we should not! The heart of all human societies is production, that is indeed true. But, we certainly do not need to go to other countries to find that heart. Nature provides us with society. From nature we get things like cotton, water, wood and many essential things that we need to run our mills. Without these things we would not have a steady production. The best thing for our economy would be to stay where we are. Going to other countries for natural resources that we have is frivolous. Our accomplishments lately are enough to live off of. New ways of farming, such as the irrigation and rotation of crops from the Dutch,  and new technology. We would be beyond ok staying in our own country. If we did go oversees to take advantage of cheap work sources and natural resources, we could be facing large amounts of money. In order to get citizens to collect resources abroad, we need way to get them across sea. A train isn't going to allow you to cross a body of water. So, transportation would cost extra money that we could be earning and saving by just staying here. We are getting along just find on our own. Seizing another country for things we have is unneeded. We are a unified country, we can fend for ourselves. That is why we do not need to travel to other countries in order to gather natural resources.
