Why might someone not like Socialism?

History
1 answer:
V125BC [204]3 years ago
5 0

Socialism can be corrupted and has been often throughout history. Many dictators promise to deliver socialism only to provide more of a communist or totalitarian government if anything. Also, even if true socialism was delivered, there are many who fear that their standard of living would decrease. For the (very) wealthy, they are likely not to favor socialism due to the fact that their wealth would be redistributed to those in need. There are probably other reasons why someone may not like socialism, but I'm not sure at the moment. Hopefully this is a good starting point for your assignment or essay. Of course you should look into further research on this topic.

15 different facts on the Weapons of the Revolutionary War.
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

At the end of the musket most soldiers had a bayonet attached. A bayonet was a sharp pointed metal blade around 17 inches long. The bayonet turned the musket into a spear that could be used to charge and gore an enemy. British soldiers were especially skilled fighters with the bayonet.

Cannon

Both sides used a variety of artillery (large guns) during the war. Cannons could be made somewhat mobile when they were mounted on large wheels. They fired solid shells, exploding shells, and grapeshot. Cannons were effective in destroying fortifications or sinking ships. Sometimes cannons were fired strait at a line of approaching enemy troops tearing right through them and stopping their charge.

The smooth-bore muskets of the Revolutionary War were not very accurate and could not reliably hit a target beyond 100 yards. It took the average soldier around 15 to 20 seconds to load the musket allowing him to fire 3 to 4 shots a minute.

Brown Bess and Bayonet

Source: American Military History:

Volume 1

The weapons and battle tactics used by both sides during the Revolutionary War were consistent with those used by European armies for the previous 15 or so years. Both sides used similar weapons and fought using similar tactics.

Muskets

The primary weapon used by both sides was the musket. The most popular type of musket was the British made Brown Bess. The Brown Bess had a smooth bore and was loaded through the muzzle. Another popular musket was the Charleville made by the French. It was similar to the Brown Bess.

Rifles were also used during the Revolutionary War. Rifles were more accurate than muskets, but took a lot longer time to load. Cavalry (soldiers on horseback) used pistols and sabers to fight with as they were easier to use while riding a horse. Soldiers often carried knives or small hatchets, but these were rarely used in major battles.

Explain the Evolutionary Theory, and how it is depicted in Apocalypto.
Andrej [43]

Answer:

First, it is important to establish what the Theory of Evolution is, and then, we will talk about the movie Apocalypto, to finally see how these two come together.

The Theory of Evolution was first proposed scientifically by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace in the middle of the 19th century. From its beginning, this theory has shaped how we see the evolution of the species and why certain characteristics and traits, contained in genetic material, will not be passed on to other generations. Essentially, then, the Theory of Evolution is precisely that, it is a scientific explanation as to how species have evolved through time, what has caused them to evolve, and what has shaped them to be as they are in the present. This Theory explained such ideas as natural selection, the inheritance of genetic traits through the passage of time, the effects of the environment of inheritance, biodiversity, and why certain species have changed so much, diversified so much, even if they have common ancestry.

Apocalypto, now, is the movie that was produced by Mel Gibson and which was launched in 2016. This movie depicts the initiation of the fall of the great Mayan empire, driven to its end by nature: the draught, political and social corruption and finally, disease and chaos brought on by the contact between Indian tribes, including the Mayas, and the Spanish.

Although not directly related with one another, in a manner that we can say that Apocalypto portrays the Theory of Evolution, it does hint at what the theory implies. The Mayans were a pretty evolved civilization, but their structures depended on the lands where they lived, and its resources, and when drought came, they were not capable of adapting so that in the end, this event led to the end of the Empire. Apocalypto depicts the effects of that drought and it shows the end of the civilization, even if it cannot be said that evolutionarily speaking, the Mayans became extinct. The movie also depicts the effects of disease; Mayans had never been exposed to such European diseases as measles, and therefore, when they did come in contact, the disease decimated the population. To the extent that when the Spanish arrived, they were able to race the Empire to the ground with small numbers. Apocalypto also depicts this detail when Jaguar Paw and the captives see the trail of people who are dying sick. It also depicts the coming in contact of the two worlds.

So even if we cannot directly say that the two are connected, we can establish that some of the principles that determine evolution, and natural selection, are present inherently in the movie Apocalypto.
