Vanguard History/Geography: April Journeyman Readings and Inspirements

Think About:

Communistic ideas have been around since history has been recorded.
Why do you think people are attracted to these ideas?
How do communistic ideas compare to the teachings of Jesus Christ?
Do you ever see these ideas taught in our society?
What names are used for these ideas in our times?
Karl Marx wrote these ideas into a document.
How did this give it power?

Inspirements:

Choose a term and submit to Sis Bird and Sis Shupe (so we don’t have duplicates). Prepare a one minute presentation of the term and how it applies to communism or Karl Marx. I also want you to get at least 2 adults’ opinion of your term. It is best if you choose 2 of different generations (the term sometimes means something different to different generations). I would highly recommend having at least one be from an older generation. Please submit which term you have chosen as soon as possible ☺
