what do you think about my essay be as harsh as u can but be honest, also grade it if you can?
hi, i turned in this report to one of my classes and got a low B on it i completely disagree with this... can you guys/gals give my your opinion on it? and what i may need to fix. Thank you, it may seems long but its only like 2 pages. im in highschool btw :) “The writer must earn money in order to be able to live and to write, but he must by no means live and write for the purpose of making money†Karl Marx. Having gone through a rough childhood during the early 1800s because of extreme poverty, Marx viewed life in one way that was to help those of the poor be equal to those of the rich. Karl Marx is viewed as the creator of communism, which his theories was and are viewed as wrong and immoral. His ideas were there to help the poor, but have been manipulated by dictators to become a type of authoritarian government, which gave the people NO rights and has been known through its time to abolish all private property. Karl Marx was an ethical, creative, and influential man whose goal was to create equality for all people of the world. As a catalyst for change Karl Marx altered the world in an astonishing way, he inspired such leaders as Lenin, Stalin, Mao Zedong, and even Castro to lead their people in their own version of “communism†which has unfortunately devastated millions of people’s of lives. Those leaders followed his work day in and day out leading it to what it’s known as today a failed government, but it should be known as a government that hadn’t been correctly practiced. In order to view Karl Marx as an effective catalyst for change, one should observe the ethics he had within himself and understand what ethics is. Ethics is defined as the study of moral standards and how they affect conduct. Ethics is a major affair in every profession and is a key topic of philosophical discussions. Karl Marx was a man of ethics. One of his main applications was freedom, which to Karl Marx meant determination. Marx's opinion was that “man is controlled by the basics of nature. The nature of man is comprised of powers, man being uncontrolled, and allows him to comprehend the fullness of his powers,†(Karl Marx selected writings, pg. 207) With such a strong belief in ethics Karl Marx was viewed by a majority of people all over Europe as an unethical man because he didn’t abide by the laws. For example some laws required people to be suppressed and not be able to talk about the government, writing about the media and against the media was wrong, and speaking your mind was wrong. But being ethical is also not the same as following the law. The laws often include ethical standards to which most citizens pledge to. But laws, like feelings, can deviate from what is ethical. Our own pre-Civil War slavery laws and the apartheid (a system of legal racial separation) laws of present-day South Africa are grotesquely obvious examples of laws that deviate from what is ethical. Being ethical is not the same as doing "whatever society accepts." In any society, most people accept standards that are, in fact, ethical. But standards of behavior in society can deviate from what is ethical. An entire society can become ethically corrupt. Nazi Germany is a good example of a morally corrupt society. Karl Marx viewed the government as an unethical creature with absurd powers over the people; he thus made the book Communist Manifesto with his friend Engles who shared the same views as Marx, this book was made to show and talk about the government and how his idea of a new government called communism would revolutionize the world for the better. Additionally to fully understand Karl Marx you must understand his creativity and what exactly creativity is. Creativity is defined as the tendency to generate or recognize ideas, alternatives, or possibilities that may be useful in solving problems, communicating with others, and entertaining others and ourselves. Karl Marx is obviously seen as a creative man by all people since he did create his own government. But that isn’t all that makes him a creative person his ideas, the way he speaks about certain things, and his ability to think for the worlds benefit make him a creative man. For example “ Natural science will in time incorporate into itself the science of man, just as the science of man will incorporate into itself natural science: there will be one science,†(Karl Marx selected writings, pg.128). Marx here is saying that one day Natural science (physical labor) and science (Mental labor) will work by each other side by side as one. What Karl Marx said eventually came true, professions like engineering had arrived, a profession that requires both intensive labor and a mental capacity of math far beyond other professions. Marx’s creativity leads him to theories and ideas like that. Not many men could or can recognize what will eventually occur in time, but Marx being the creative man he is has the tendency to recognize things like this. Karl Marx, unfortunately during hi

I'm no English teacher, but your paper has numerous gramamtical errors. It's also disorganized, has some sentences that don't make sense, and just isn't coherent. You begin with a Marx quote about writing and then fail to connect it to the rest of the essay, which is about Marx and the impact of his political theories. You state that Marx created his own government -- what government in what country did he create? Marx offered political theory; it was others who put those theories into practice in various governments.

Travel/Working Abroad - Any Advice?
Travel/Working Abroad - Any Advice?
I'm matriculating this year. I'm planning to do a Bachelor of Arts in English and Education (to teach high school). My eventual plan is to settle down back home (South Africa) and study further - perhaps do my doctorate and lecture English. However, I really want to travel first. My current (pretty vague, I must admit) plans are to finish studying (4 years) and then teach English in Japan/Thailand for a few years to make some money. My mother was born in England. As far as I'm aware, if I play my cards right this gives me the right to live and work there. I'm especially interested in this because I'm dying to travel Europe and I have heard that it is easy to see the rest of the continent if you're already based there. I would like to ask for advice from anyone with experience involving working abroad (particularly in Japan/Thailand and the UK). What do I need to have/do? Is there any way for me to get a permanent residence so I can continue studying in the UK? How expensive is it to live in England and how easy would it be for me to find a job (preferably teaching High School English) once I am there? Any advice, pro's, con's or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

To many different question here and I will get bored trying to answer them. Except for Thailand where I live. If you want to teach here you need a degree in Teaching or a degree in any other area and a TEFL. You don't make much money here in Thailand, maybe $1,000 to $1,500 a month. You need to come here and look for a job. Finding a job will not be that hard. Then go to Malaysia and apply for a work visa. When you return your school should help you get a work permit. All this is good for one year, you have to do it again every year.

you should know thats it very UNSAFE for white women to TRAVEL ALONE TO JAPAN and hang out with Japanese men. although overall homocide is low in Japan, however, homocide and sexual assaults etc against foreign women is very high as a percentage of foreign female population in Japan. Japanese men have an unhealthy perverted fetish of white girls and many white girls are sexually assaulted and tricked by being lured to his apartment to teach him english etc, where she is then drugged and raped n murdered and chopped up and eaten. There will be a high chance you will be raped n murdered. Just google 3 very famous documented cases: issei sagawa, lindsay hawker and lucie blackman.

Do you know of any website to bet on the U.S. vs England match? I live in the U.S.?
Hi, I'd like to bet some money on the U,.S. vs England match, I think I could make some money on this match because I think the U.S. is going to win! and of course, most fans around the world think that England is going to win that match, however, I can't find any website to bet on the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. It seems like in the U.S. we are not allowed to do such thing, is that correct? I really can't believe it, why would betting on soccer be illegal in this country? thank you .

Writers: I want to write a book. But is my writing poetential there?? Please tell me what you think of this?
This a part of a story I want to write set in South Africa (where I live). This is about one of my characters history (escaping Zimbabwe into SA) PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF MY WRITING IS WORTH PERSUING. Im sorry if its long. ------------------------ They claimed it would cost them R200 each to cross the border. In Africa money is hailed like the gods, Selina was aware of that doctrine and she had to buy her freedom through pious loyalty of such preaching. On this land the drums beat to the rhythm of revenue, the beads of red, blue and orange, bloated with buoyancy, are threaded for the making of that little-bit-extra not as rescue missions to savour fading histories. In Africa government houses chant with hallow debate because all ears are fixed on the lyrical lyre of the dollar. For it is where politicians and businessmen are synonymous terms… and it’s called an example of ‘developmental democracy’. Money is the emerald blood that channels through the black markets. Row after row of vendors, stick stalls, carpets and people form the veins, thick and thin…a hundred and a thousand tiny lines stretching across capitals, towns and villages. The hemoglobin flow of estranged heads on bronze or some other rusty colour fill cities with fraud, ‘favours’, blackmails and business contracts. The notes of minted green flow from dirt-hibernating pocket to pocket. The money itself almost tastes of blood. This need brings only more poverty and licenses greed and Selina saw it. She had lived it until she could not breathe the choking dirt any longer. Squinting up at paper planes and kites that litter the Gweru sky she waits for their secret meeting to materialise. All of the flying toys are made up of Zim dollars. With freshly ‘passed by parliament’ billion dollar notes the older ones are used by the children to build jets and towers of money, racing each other to see who can stack the most in the fastest time. Zimbabwe is on life-support. But for how long can oxygen be artificially pumped in a body that is terminally paralysed? She didn’t believe in euthanasia but hope seemed more sacrilegious than ever. As she waits by a pineapple and chille stall somewhere in the market her gaze is torn from a particularly amusing tower of notes toppling to the ground to another young child, a bright blue spot, weaving through the crowds of brown, black and white, running in her direction. The pace of his legs reminds her of small turbines as he draws nearer. She watches him turn his face to glance back at who it was that was chasing him but he isn’t quick enough and, in shock, she doesn’t have time to move out of the way and like a train collision, he hits the ground that coughs up a spray of dust in ill-fated complaint. “Are you alright?†Selina holds out a hand and helps the boy to his feet. She can’t help but note the skeletal feel of his fingers reminding her of the chicken necks they would suck at as children. He places his bony hands on his excuses for knee caps and breathes tightly as if he didn’t hear her. Staring at the bag he is gripping around his tiny fist he suddenly remembers the barrier that had halted his escape and his eyes flash both fear and shock as he cuts her an upward look. The bag looks like its filled with sugar and he held onto it as if it were filled with diamonds that he, himself, had mined. Without a word he turns away from her and hurtles back into the crowd. She checks her watch, broken in the middle, but the roman numerals are still visible. 5:17pm. Daya was late and Rahul and the trafficker are nowhere in sight. Could someone have tipped them off? Maybe Daya had changed her mind, like she is beginning to feel… that all too familiar sinking sickness in the pit of her stomach. She tightens the blanket she has wrapped around her to keep Moyo warm on her back as she scans the now filtering crowds. Watching them, the scent of afternoon tea that the vendors drink flows past her nose, lazy-like, on the breeze that meandered through the people. It took her back to a time on a farm just outside Bulawayo. ---------------------------- (there's more...) I know Im sometimes verbose?? Is the writing good? BE BRUTAL if you must. PLEASE PLEASE give me some feedback. APOLOGIES FOR THE SPELLING ERROR IN THE QUESTION. I TYPE TOO FAST FOR MY OWN GOOD. :)

What's your opinion on the 2 potential new "radical" bowling changes being made in ODI's..?
What's your opinion on the 2 potential new "radical" bowling changes being made in ODI's..?
The ICC is "concerned" that ODI's are becoming a dying form of the game, despite the fact that at the moment in South Africa the series against England is being played to near full stadiums. What they are really worried about is that ODI's aren't making enough money, so the "brains" at the ICC are making it even more Gimmicky..... The 2 rule changes the ICC suggest could be implemented: * The bowling side starts with 2 new balls. It gives the batsmen more of an advantage because they will play against a harder ball for longer. This takes out the ball change at the 34th over. It also means there is no chance that reverse swing will occur. * Two bowlers are to be allowed to bowl 12 overs each and two to bowl ten, leaving the fifth bowler an allocation of just six. The intention is to encourage captains and selectors to pick more 'specialists' and marginalise the need for bits-and-pieces cricketers. So what do you think about these changes? Are they going to help breathe some life into ODI's, or is it going to make a confusing game, even more confusing.

This will allow bowlers like Johnson, Zaheer to bowl more overs and also we will get rid of Jadeja type player who likes to be responsible for home team's defeat. Hahaha

This is one of the reasons cricket is not my favourite sport, at least FIFA doesnt propose wholesale changes to the laws of the game as they please. Both rule changes are rubbish to be precise. If these rules are implemented in the future, how will we differentiate and compare ODI stats for bowlers who have different quotas on their overs? Start off with 2 new balls? Seems to be the idea of a ball-less individual.

What a load of rubbish. Why do they feel they need to continually tinker with ODI cricket? The format works, and is probably the strongest of the three at present. Aaarrrggghhhh......

The ODI,s are already framed to favour the batsman,by feild restrictions.,free hits,by giving wides when the ball is bowled even slightly outside the leg stump,having shorter boundry lines.Are these rules not enough for batsmen to score quickly and heavily?If not then further weaken the bowling to make the batsamn score more runs.This can be done if is made compulsory for 5 bowlers to bowl 8 overs each and one bowler can bowl 10 overs,over all 6 bowlers should be made compulsory..Hence the batsmen will have a chance to target more weak bowlers and make big totals.I donot agree with the ICC new rules ,which will not help in anyway.On the other hand i agree with Sachin's suggestion that the ODI be divided into 2 innings of 25 overs each.When the match will nearly have the same excitement as a combined 2 seperate matches of 20-20 games.

1: The idea of needing a "new ball" in ODIs is quite useless anyway. This is just a variation on a gimmick. 2: I like this idea, as it would give bowlers a chance to get into a spell a bit more than is the case at the moment. Just to save the maths becoming complicated I would prefer that four bowlers can bowl up to 11 overs each, rather than 12x2 and 10x2 (which looks like somebody was trying a bit too hard to be clever). What they should of course just do is replace the redundant 50-over format with a 40-over one, and save everybody from the tedium of the modern ODI...
14 :
Wow! The trolls are out in force,look at all those TDs. I suppose anything is worth a try, but as someone else said why keep changing things? However, I would be interested to see if it works,but I still think T20 is the main problem & should be kicked to the kerb. ODI was doing fine till the newer form of cricket came on the scene.
15 :
That day is near when ICC will announce that , Fast bowler is restricted to ball straight (no swing) with speed limit ( maximum ) 60 MPH, spinner restricted to not to turn the ball. 2nd point could favors the good bowler of the particular match.
16 :
ODIs have been a fluid thing right from the get go. bringing in the 30 metre fielding circle and fielding restrictions, then the powerplay, the batting powerplay, the free hit on the following ball of a noball, the noball for a full toss above the waist or bouncer over shoulder, the altered notion of wide (widing anything down legside) none of these rules were in effect when ODI first started and the format has survived the changes. There is no harm in trying the varioations, if they don't work they can always dump it, like they did with the supersub rule of a couple of years ago. Personally I like the 12 over/6 over rule as in the current form if a bowler is difficult to play the batsmen simply see him off and then plunder the other 4 bowlers 40 overs, this way if a bowler gets on top he can get a little reward and gie the batsmen less overs to play with, it also keeps them guessing as in the current laws a bowler bowls 10 overs you know he's finished, with the new rule he might pop back for another 2 overs later on. The new ball rule can go both ways. A new ball comes off the bat faster but is usually also does more in the air so a good bowler can take advantage of that, you might see something like the opening bowlers having 6 overs each with the new ball, the spinners and medium pace restricting bowlers coming on to bowl out the old ball and then the strike bowlers coming back for another 6 overs each with the second new ball. this might make things really interesting.
17 :
I think its trash, ICC is making too many changes, Super sub, Batting and bowling power plays etc. They should leave the game as it is
18 :
1. "The bowling side starts with 2 new balls" Rubbish rule. Not just reverse swing will be difficult but also the spinners will have to bowl with the "new" ball. Normally the spinners are introduced at the time of 17th or 18th over when the ball is a little more scuffed. Now with 2 new balls it will mean they can't find that kind of ball before 35 overs! And that's too late for bringing your spinner into the game. But there's an other prospective that it will make the batting on zippy pitches, like in the New Zealand, a bit more difficult. In those kind of conditions the batsmen have to see through the new ball and be cautious at the start. So 2 new balls will make life more harder for batsmen on particular pitches. I'm not gonna vote in favor of this change. 2. "Two bowlers are to be allowed to bowl 12 overs each and two to bowl ten, leaving the fifth bowler an allocation of just six." So you're telling me that the ICC wants to ensure that teams play with 4 bowlers! That means the young bowlers' opportunities to get into the national team reduce even more. There are cricketers who only get their chance as the 5th bowler when the team has a good attack. This will shut their chances. Discouraging. The good thing is that the teams can have their 2 best bowlers bowl upto 24 overs. Batting teams often plan to play the 2 best bowlers with caution till their overs finish and attack against the others. This rule will make them think about that approach. @ Y factor: The bowlers used to bowl more than 10 overs a match in earlier days also, when you had 60 over ODIs. So comparing or differentiating between stats isn't a big issue. To conclude, I think these changes are not really necessary. If they need to change anything about the format then just make a team play 2 inns of 25 overs, so that the toss doesn't make a big impact. That's the only change I want.
19 :
I think this changes will only help the batsmen. The ODIs will be more interesting from now on.
The ICC is "concerned" that ODI's are becoming a dying form of the game, despite the fact that at the moment in South Africa the series against England is being played to near full stadiums.

A new ball comes off the bat faster but is usually also does more in the air so a good bowler can take advantage of that, you might see something like the opening bowlers having 6 overs each with the new ball, the spinners and medium pace restricting bowlers coming on to bowl out the old ball and then the strike bowlers coming back for another 6 overs each with the second new ball. this might make things really interesting.

I think its trash, ICC is making too many changes, Super sub, Batting and bowling power plays etc. They should leave the game as it is

1. "The bowling side starts with 2 new balls" Rubbish rule. Not just reverse swing will be difficult but also the spinners will have to bowl with the "new" ball. Normally the spinners are introduced at the time of 17th or 18th over when the ball is a little more scuffed. Now with 2 new balls it will mean they can't find that kind of ball before 35 overs! And that's too late for bringing your spinner into the game. But there's an other prospective that it will make the batting on zippy pitches, like in the New Zealand, a bit more difficult. In those kind of conditions the batsmen have to see through the new ball and be cautious at the start. So 2 new balls will make life more harder for batsmen on particular pitches. I'm not gonna vote in favor of this change. 2. "Two bowlers are to be allowed to bowl 12 overs each and two to bowl ten, leaving the fifth bowler an allocation of just six." So you're telling me that the ICC wants to ensure that teams play with 4 bowlers! That means the young bowlers' opportunities to get into the national team reduce even more. There are cricketers who only get their chance as the 5th bowler when the team has a good attack. This will shut their chances. Discouraging. The good thing is that the teams can have their 2 best bowlers bowl upto 24 overs. Batting teams often plan to play the 2 best bowlers with caution till their overs finish and attack against the others. This rule will make them think about that approach. @ Y factor: The bowlers used to bowl more than 10 overs a match in earlier days also, when you had 60 over ODIs. So comparing or differentiating between stats isn't a big issue. To conclude, I think these changes are not really necessary. If they need to change anything about the format then just make a team play 2 inns of 25 overs, so that the toss doesn't make a big impact. That's the only change I want.

I think this changes will only help the batsmen. The ODIs will be more interesting from now on.
