A Comparison of Vengeance in Electra, The Bacchae and Frankenstein Essa

Vengeance in Electra, The Bacchae and Frankenstein      Ã‚   In today's world, vengeance is still in existence, bubbling below our calm facade, waiting for the catalyst it needs to break loose. Evidence can be seen right now in the reactions of the American people towards Bin Laden. He destroyed so many lives, and now, there is probably not one American that would not love to get their minute alone with him. The American people want to hurt him the way he and his followers hurt their fellow Americans, their family. This hunger for vengeance is completely Dionysian and is found in more than one written work.    Electra is saturated with the Dionysian quest for vengeance that prevails also in The Bacchae. It is found again in Frankenstein, a work bubbling over with vengeful deaths. This Dionysian pursuit for vengeance is carried out on family offenders, whether they are of the family in question or not. Dionysus, a member of Cadmus' family, causes the death of his cousin Pentheus. Pentheus commits a deadly mistake when he denies Dionysus as a god and attempts to capture him, thus invoking the wrath of Dionysus. This is the same type of vengeance found in Electra's family. In Electra's family, if one commits a family offense, an unending cycle of the Dionysian principle of vengeance ensues: vengeance takes precedent over family ties, thus forsaking them. With Victor Frankenstein and his monster, the principle is also at work, though it exists for each of them in response to the other.    This principle is born into Electra's family long before her own tragedies transpire. It begins with the sons of Pelops and all of the adultery and murder a la mode that occur in that branch of Electra's family history. However, this... ...al, is to strike out at those who seek or have harmed us, and to destroy them in any means possible. Rest assured that if any Americans are involved in the Bin Laden affair, that the thirst for vengeance on them will be overpowering. The Dionysian principle of vengeance is still very much alive, lurking below the surface, waiting for the justification it needs to break free.    Works Cited C.K.

The Author of “Facing It”

The way one speaks and acts coming out of war is traumatic not only to the human body but the mind as well. If we the reader didn't know that the author of â€Å"Facing It† Yusef Komunyakaa, was a war veteran, I would guarantee that after reading his poem you would have concluded that he was. What is striking about his work it that Yusef uses words that you wouldn't typical put together to make you understand what he, the writer is seeing and facing- hence the poem â€Å"Facing It†. By reading the poem in your head or even out loud you could tell that the author's tone of voice is very heartbroken, he feels this conflicting pain within himself, that could only be expressed through poetry. Yusef explains his feelings and what he's experiencing out side post-war. His work depicts a certain metaphor in which he talks about the Vietnam veteran memorial wall, as like a mirror in which he's not in or on. As a result of that, he writes them down as poems and comes up with beautiful analogies, that from a psychological critique, raises questions about what he is trying to convey throughout the war. Psychology is a way for humans to find the deeper meaning behind a person's word. As I break down Yusef's poem and try to find the deeper meaning, I will not only be talking about his internal struggle between his experience with war, but also the internal battle that Yusef faces between him and himself, and how he work to overcome it. The very first verse in Yusef poem â€Å"My black face fades, hiding inside the black granite, I said I wouldn't dammit: no tears I am stone I am flesh†.(lines 1-3) Starts off by not only talking about his race but psychologically his memory as well. According to Floyd, Pilar analyzed version of â€Å"Facing It† Yusef face fades into the granite of the memorial. He looks back upon his memories and sees them as black and white- as humans tend to do in dreams. He sees the white engraved names on the black granite. When relating the two together, he explains how he is hiding- he can not see himself in the black granite, not only because of his pigment but because he feels strongly and more guilty that his name isn't up on that wall unlike the rest of his fellow soldiers. â€Å"No tears I am stone I am flesh†(line 4) can only refer to the idea that he like the granite is stone. However because he is alive he remains this warm living flesh that is capable of crying even though he refers to himself as stone. Yusef uses metaphors and analogies as a way from hiding his true self. We wants to remain strong- stone, but alas he is struggling between to states he'd like to be in: life or death. Not only is this a battle for Yuself, we begin to see a battle that struggles between Yusef and himself when coming to terms with reality. â€Å"My clouded reflections eyes me†( line 5 ). Clouded meaning the tears that are progressing, or this idea that Yuself himself is clouded. When someone stands far away from a reflection, there image becomes clouded, as if it were disappearing, and in this case Yusef wanted to, but the granite was standing in his way, along with himself. As the reader I took this to mean he was accepting himself and the war, therefor backing away from it. When the statement eyes it â€Å"eyes me† meaning its looking back, can mean that his reflection is looking back at him or he is looking within himself. He realized and expected that its the granite thats not moving, its him who has to walk away but can not. Yuself is a victim of war † like a bird of prey†( line 7 )he is victimizing himself and the names on the granite are what's analyzing him. Emotional, everything becomes a reminder to a victim of war. According to Floyd, Pilar he's accepting that wherever he goes there will always be a reminder, it's not escaping him. Yusef is getting a sense of his surroundings. â€Å"I turn this way- the stone lets me go†( line 8 ) he turns the other way and there is the memorial again. As he tries to walk away, he is realizing there is no walking away, because he's always capable of turning in another direction and ending up back where he left off. From a psychological standpoint, I would say not only does he not want to be apart from the memorial but he is also accepting to the idea that is ok to turn around and not stare into it for a while. Just as he is about to walk away he comes rights back and realizes how many names are upon the memorial. â€Å"I go down 58,022 names half-expecting to find my own in letters like smoke†( line 15 ). There is a sense of guilt in this sentence, you can almost feel that he wants his name there but also he doesn't. I say this because Yusef uses the term smoke. Smoke meaning a hundred different reason, but in this case smoke can mean something clear. According to Floyd, Pilar she states that in this cause the word smoke means easily attainable and easy enough to disappear. Here you can see that Yusef is struggling with himself, he feels this sense of responsibility and guilt. As a living individuale, Yusef like smoke can vanish and reappear when he pleases, unlike those names on the wall that will that will never. With this it gives Yusef this reassurance that he is truly alive because his name cannot be found on that list. However he still is a victim and struggles everyday with this thought of violence and lose. To people like us it's a wall with names, to Yusef it's an important memory. Once again Yusef finds himself in a mental state, similar to the one in the beginning of the poem. Where he is considering the possibilities of life and death, the internal struggle between him and himself. Yusef sees a veteran come out of the wall and rush through him, as talked about in class this image that Yusef see's is similar to what could be a ghost. As stated in an analyzed version of â€Å"Facing It† Floyd, Pillars take on this statement she says that Yusef like the veteran with one arm has also lost something from the war, that being his piece of mind. I took this to mean that Yusef walks though life day by day struggling still because the difference between what we think is a ghost and Yusef himself, is that Yusef still lives. † In the black mirror a woman trying to erase names, no she is brushing a boys hair†( line 29) This was a very difficult analogy to break down, however as the reader, I read it to mean that Yusef is having a difficult time distinguishing the difference between memories from the war and memories of life. He wants to believe that everything is going to be ok and that nobody is hurt, but that's not the case. He wants to be like everyone else, but he can't. Why can't other be more like him? From here on end Yusef's every move, every statement, and every action will be an impact from his decisions and his actions from the war. He lives life trying to find the difference between fantasy and reality, the difference between life and death, and what he expresses in his last stanza is that nobody will understand and not many people care, unless they themselves are like Yusef. As a result Yusef faces with many psychological struggles, but like many they take time to comprehend and understand. Throughout the poem you see how Yusef fluctuates his emotions about what he sees and feels while looking at the memorial. Yusef faces many things, because the war in himself and in his head isn't over. He attempts to overcome the nightmares and grief he faces, but concludes that'll unlike many people, he has a privilege of understand the importance of this piece of granite, that many don't seem to appreciate. Each stanza of Yusef's poem is a way of expressing his internal battle. Each idea shows that Yusef is trying to overcome something in himself but looking at everything though different perspectives. At one point he's a bird looking at himself, next his image fades into the black granite. Yusef stands on this fine line between life and death and attempts to break down the difference between the two given his struggle. In learning that it's he who holds him back, Yusef learns to live with the way he looks and faces life. Getting back to the real world is just as difficult as being in war. Yusef seems to understand the meaning of everything but just doesn't understand why it has to be like that which is why he is internally struggling with himself.

Tips for Writing Effective Letters to Congress

People who think members of the U.S. Congress pay little or no attention to constituent mail are just plain wrong. Concise, well thought out personal letters are one of the most effective ways Americans have of influencing the lawmakers they elect.   Members of Congress get hundreds of letters and emails every day, so you will want your letter stand out. Whether you choose to use the U.S. Postal Service or email, here are some tips that will help you write a letter to Congress that has an impact. Letter or Email? Always send a traditional letter. While it is easier to send an email, and all Senators and Representatives now have email addresses, written letters get more attention and have more impact. The Senators and Representatives and their staffs get literally hundreds of emails every day. Emails from their constituents are mixed in with emails from fellow lawmakers and staff members and are thus easily overlooked or disregarded. In addition, taking the time to send a traditional, handwritten letter is the best way to show you â€Å"really care† about the issues you are addressing. Think Locally Its usually best to send letters to the representative from your local congressional district or the senators from your state. Your vote helps elect them—or not—and that fact alone carries a lot of weight. It also helps personalize your letter. Sending the same cookie-cutter message to every member of Congress may grab attention but rarely much consideration. Its also a good idea to think about the effectiveness of all of your communication options. For instance, a face-to-face meeting at an event, town hall, or the representatives local office can often leave the biggest impression. That is not always an option though. Your next best bet for expressing your opinion is a formal letter, then a phone call to their office. While email is convenient and quick, it may not have the same influence as the other, more traditional, routes. Finding Your Legislators Address There are a few ways that you can find the addresses of all of your representatives in Congress. The U.S. Senate is easy because each state has two Senators. Senate.gov has an easy to navigate directory of all current Senators. You will find links to their website, their email and phone number, as well as the address to their office in Washington D.C. The House of Representatives is a little trickier because you need to search for the person representing your particular district within the state. The easiest way to do so is to type in your zip code under Find Your Representative at House.gov. This will narrow down your options but you may need to refine it based on your physical address because zip codes and Congressional districts do not coincide. In both houses of Congress, the representatives official website will also have all the contact information you need. This includes the locations of their local offices. Keep Your Letter Simple Your letter will be more effective if you address a single topic or issue rather than a variety of issues you may feel passionate about. Typed, one-page letters are best. Many Political Action Committees (PACs)  recommend a three-paragraph letter structured like this: Say why you are writing and who you are. List your credentials and state that you are a constituent. It also doesnt hurt to mention if you voted for or donated to them. If you want a response, you must include your name and address, even when using email.Provide more detail. Be factual and not emotional. Provide specific rather than general information about how the topic affects you and others. If a certain bill is involved, cite the correct title or number whenever possible.Close by requesting the action you want to be taken. It might be a vote for or against a bill, a change in general policy, or some other action, but be specific. The best letters are courteous, to the point, and include specific supporting examples. Proofread Your Letter Always proofread your letter before mailing it. Read over it at least twice, checking for spelling, punctuation, and grammar errors. Make sure you have not repeated yourself, failed to make your points clearly, or left anything out. An error-free letter adds to your credibility.   Identifying Legislation Members of Congress have a lot of items on their agendas, so its best to be as specific as possible regarding your issue. When writing about a particular bill or piece of legislation, include the official number so they know exactly what youre referring to (it also helps your credibility). If you need help in finding the number of a bill, use the  Thomas Legislative Information System. Cite these  legislation  identifiers: House Bills:  H.R._____House Resolutions:  H.RES._____House Joint Resolutions:  H.J.RES._____Senate Bills:  S._____Senate Resolutions:  S.RES._____Senate Joint Resolutions:  S.J.RES._____ Addressing Members of Congress There is also a formal way to address members of Congress. Use these headers to begin your letter, filling in the appropriate name and addresses for your Congressperson. Also, its best to include the header in an email message. To Your Senator: The Honorable (full name)(room #) (name) Senate Office BuildingUnited States SenateWashington, DC 20510Dear Senator (last name): To Your Representative: The Honorable (full name)(room #) (name) House Office BuildingUnited States House of RepresentativesWashington, DC 20515Dear Representative (last name): Contact the U.S. Supreme Court The Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court do not have email addresses, but they do read letters from citizens. You can mail letters using the address found on the SupremeCourt.gov website. Key Things to Remember Here are some key things you should always and never do when writing to your elected representatives. Be courteous and respectful without gushing.Clearly and simply state the purpose of your letter. If its about a certain bill, identify it correctly.  Say who you are. Anonymous letters go nowhere. Even in email, include your correct name, address, phone number, and email address. If you dont include at least your name and address, you will not get a response.State any professional credentials or personal experience you may have, especially those pertaining to the subject of your letter.Keep your letter short—one page is best.Use specific examples or evidence to support your position.State what it is you want to be done or recommend a course of action.Thank the member for taking the time to read your letter. What Not to Do Just because they represent the voters does not mean that members of Congress are subject to abuse or belittlement. As impassioned as you may be about an issue, your letter will be more effective if its written from a calm, logical perspective. If youre angry about something, write your letter then edit the next day to ensure youre conveying a courteous, professional tone. Also, make sure to avoid these pitfalls. Do not use vulgarity, profanity, or threats. The first two are just plain rude and the third one can get you a visit from the Secret Service. Simply stated, dont let your passion get in the way of making your point. Do not fail to include your name and address, even in email letters. Many representatives prioritize comments from their constituents and a letter in the mail may be the only way you receive a response. Do not demand a response. You may not get one no matter what and demand is simply another rude gesture that does little for your case. Do not use boilerplate text. Many grassroots organizations will send out a prepared text to people interested in their issue, but try not to simply copy and paste this into your letter. Use it as a guide to help you make the point and write the letter in your own words with your personal perspective. Getting thousands of letters that say the exact same thing can diminish the impact.

Symptoms And Treatment Of Elderly Patients - 1781 Words

Patient factors include age, gender, education, ethnicity, socio-economic status and how much patient knows about cancer and cancer symptoms. Age appears to be the major determinants of cancer survival. Cancer survival rate for almost all types of cancers decrease significantly with age. Research has shown that elderly patients generally do not receive the same standard of treatments and care, as compared to younger patients. Elderly patients are also reported to be less likely to receive surgery and the most effective treatment than younger people irrespective of the co-morbidities. This is because healthcare professionals tend to make decisions based on the assumptions that older patients will not be able to cope with certain treatments†¦show more content†¦Cancer signs are often mistaken as the symptoms of their mental health condition or side effects of the medications they are taking. This ultimately leads to a poorer cancer prognosis in the UK. (Independent Cancer Task force, 2015) The Black and Minor Ethnic (BME) communities also reported a worse treatment and care experience compare to other race groups. However, links between race and cancer are often complex and vary between different populations. (Department of Health, 2010) Health inequalities can be clearly seen in the uptake variation of screening programmes available in England. For instance, 23% of BME women claimed that they have never had a cervical screening as compared to 14% of white women at screening age. (Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust, 2012) Other than that, communication and public awareness about cancer is crucial in improving cancer outcome. It has been proven that good communication between healthcare professionals and patients aids in early diagnosis, increase in patients’ self management, decrease emergency admissions, decrease health inequalities and appears to save cost for the NHS as well. The 2010 Cancer Patient Experience Survey highlights that there are man y patients do not understand the doctors and nurses about their diagnosis and conditions most of the time. Also, a significant number of patients state that there is always not

Leadership for Quality Effectiveness and Safety in Health Care

Question: Discuss about the Leadership for Quality Effectiveness and Safety in Health Care. Answer: Introduction This report emphasizes on the evaluation of the relationship exist between work performance, human factors and quality and safety in healthcare. There are different healthcare systems are designed by the organizations for the purpose of meeting different needs of the patients to improve the quality of care and safety of patients. Human resources play a significant role in improving the processes of nursing. It is essential for the organizations to develop effective communication platform in order to clarify the information related to the roles and responsibilities carried out by doctors and nurses in hospitals. Human factors are considered important for the management of systems and process design as it helps in development of the required capabilities in the workforce. Nowadays, healthcare organizations focus on human factors as they facilitates in development of different strategies for improving patient safety. The biggest challenge faced by healthcare institutions is maintaining and developing patient safety by delivering quality care services to the patients. The thesis statement is that there is an existence of the significant relationship between human factors, work performance and quality and patient safety in healthcare that helps in fostering safe and positive work culture in the organization. Identification of human factors related to work performance In relation to this, Fryer (n.d.) stated that human factors are considered as an important process design which helps in building capabilities and limitations of workforce. There is a need of human factor design in the nursing profession as there are various challenges that are faced by nursing profession. For the purpose of mitigating such challenges like unmonitored workloads which is associated with the scope and role of a nurse in a direct or indirect manner, human factor design is appropriate. Human factor emphasis on the analysis of the properties of the human being capability and limitation for the purpose on engineering elements like development, distribution, application design and categorization of services and systems. This helps in improving the quality, safety and operational performance of the organization. In the views of Cafazzo and Cyr (2012), there is an increasing the trend of human factors engineering in the healthcare which improves safety and efficiency. The strategies related to behavior change helps in improving the performance of employees in order to ensure patient safety in the hospitals. Nowadays, different practitioners adopted a systematic approach for the purpose of mitigating the human errors by designing the socio-technical work environment. Along with this, human resources also tend to rely on interventions that results in improving the user performance by the way of providing training to reduce the impact of adverse events. There is also an increased dependency on automation with little intervention of human beings might result in propagate errors in the system in an easy manner. There is a need of human beings for the purpose of making judgments related to the provision of different care services to patients in order to eliminate errors. Human resources in the medical industry uses user centered design for the purpose of creating systems where different prototypes and concepts can employ training for optimization of the design of the system. The other framework is the ecological interface design which is used in the healthcare to design human machine interface for complex systems. This helps in gaining information related to unanticipated conditions occurred that hurdles the patient safety. This framework helps in modernizing the user interface of high risk radiotherapy and detection of cardiovascular risks. In contrast to this, Patel and Kannampallil (2014) states that the health information systems do not guarantee the safety and care of the patients in the healthcare institutions. The implementation of a HEF helps in the designing of the healthcare systems that has a significant impact on the quality of care and patient safety. This approach helps in improving the performance of the staff members of the healthcare institutions by addressing cognitive and physical limitations. There is a need of establishing a close relationship between the healthcare professions and HIT for the purpose of attaining the success of the systems in the organization. For bringing the improvement in patient safety and quality, HFE has used macro-ergonomic approaches for the prediction of the patient safety and quality of care. The different elements of this approach include joint optimization of human performance and well being, systems oriented approach, organizational and socio-technical context and inter actions between various elements of the system. The different macro-ergonomic models are SEIPS model and healthcare professional performance model. In support of this, Holden, et al. (2013) states that SEIPS is a prevalent healthcare human factors framework that embraces three major human factors principles such as system orientation, person centeredness and design driven improvements. The system orientation emphasizes on the interaction of socio-technical system. This has resulted in replacement of blame the person culture with the holistic system based approach. Along with this, the person centeredness principle states that the human beings are central element of healthcare work system as the work system has to align with the limitations, capabilities and performance needs of the people involved in it. The design driven improvements principle integrates the person centered design and the system in order to get effective and efficient results. There are six interacting components such as tasks, technologies, tools, internal environment and external environment. The characteristics of these factors include variety, ambiguity, sequence and complexity. It also consists of different tools and technologies that are used by the people to increase their productivity in order to increase the profitability of the healthcare systems. This model provides a hierarchical arrangement of the work system. It also takes into account of engaging healthcare professionals with the work processes in order to attain effective and efficient results. In addition to this, it also engages patients in an active manner for the purpose of improving their safety and quality of care provided to them. For this purpose, there is a need of gaining information related to the symptoms and history of the family to diagnose the diseases in order to provide proper treatment to the patients. Critically analyse the relationship between human factors and quality and safety in healthcare In support of this, Xie and Carayon (2015) state that human factors and ergonomics is considered as a significant approach for improving healthcare processes, and work systems to improve the patient safety and quality of care. The absence of such systems for the purpose of implementing different processes, healthcare technologies, socio-technical systems, workflows, and jobs may lead to the occurrence of different poor quality of care and patient safety incidents like job dissatisfaction, injuries, burnout, turnover, adverse drug events and medication errors. This system helps in addressing different issues related to cognitive, physical and organization such as mismatch between physical characteristics of healthcare professionals and task requirements, limited information for clinical decision making and job stress. In support of this, Gluyas and Hookham (2016), stated that the staff members and nurses have to manage overloaded information by the use of human factor design which is a automated behavior that has several skills and help nurses to do multi task which results in the occurrence of capture errors. This has resulted in avoiding or neglecting the patient safety in the hospitals. There is an occurrence of various shifts in the hospitals due to which the staff members handed the documents to the staff of next shift after the completion of their shifts which may result in redundancy of the work and negligence over the observations of the patient health and communicate to the authorized person to put attention on the safety of patients by providing high quality of care. This results in the occurrence of error provoking conditions and leads to the occurrence of lack of adequate monitoring of the patient which might result in the death of the patient. There is an occurrence of different errors such as slips and lapses which influences task, situational and cognitive factors that create active errors that affect the patient. In order to reducing these types of errors, there is a need to provide training to staff members for spreading awareness about human fallibility. This helps in identification of risk factors to develop competence in identification of risk factors (Gluyas and Hookham, 2016). Carayon et al. (2014) states that there are different human factor systems approaches that helps in improving the patient safety and healthcare quality. This is the system which is successfully applied in the healthcare research. This system helps in balancing the work system and encouraging the active role of workers in improving patient safety and healthcare quality. Besides this, improvement in physical design of a medical device helps in understanding t6he organizational context, where these technologies are used to improve the patient safety and healthcare quality. In addition to this, integration of the work system model i.e. SPO model of Donabedian with the SEIPS model helps in increasing the acceptability of the SEIPS model by the healthcare community. The SEIPS model helps in gaining outcomes related to patient safety and healthcare quality. This model helps in designing work systems that provide benefits to patients and healthcare workers and organizations. There are differ ent HFE applications that helps in reducing the risks related to occupational safety and health of workers like reduction in musculoskeletal disorders of nurses. In the views of Kaufman and Mc Caughan (2013), organizational culture also plays a significant role in improving the patient safety and healthcare quality in the organization. Implementation of effective leadership in a clinical setting helps providing creation of safer and healthier environments. The nurse leader in the healthcare institutions communicates the information related to the vision of patient centered care and motivates employees to achieve this vision. This can be achieved through role modeling to set the standards for team performance and responding towards the lapses in the patient care. Companies such as NHS uses corporate governance framework for the purpose of improving standards of care. The key elements of safety culture such as leadership and team work results in reducing the failures and creating the environment of trust. In the views of Gurses, Ozok and Pronovost (2011), HFE considers individuals as an integral part of healthcare systems by focusing on the abilities and limitations to attain optimization of the performance of the overall system. HFE focuses on designing of the user friendly interfaces that improves the performance of the users and reduction in the human error. In order to integrate the human factors in patient safety, there is a need of building the capacity of present and future healthcare providers to understand the HFE. There is a need to create market forces to producing those products which incorporate HFE principles and techniques. There is a need to establish coordination between manufacturers and suppliers in order to create safer products for the healthcare institutions in order to improve patient safety. Conclusion It can be concluded that human factor design is used for the purpose of mitigating different challenges faced by nursing professional in improving the patient safety and quality of care. The challenges faced by nursing professionals include unmonitored workloads. In order to improve patient safety and quality of care in the healthcare institutions, different HFE models are implemented that helps in integrating the capabilities of the workforce with the tools and techniques used to carry out different activities. Besides this, there is an active participation of the patients in improving their safety as the healthcare professionals gain information related to the family history and symptoms for the purpose of diagnosing the problem and provide care services to ensure patient safety. Different HFE systems help in balancing the work system which helps in improving the patient safety in the organization.

Lenin Essay Example For Students

Lenin Essay LeninVladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, later known as Lenin was a key figure in European history. Lenin led the Bolsheviks (which later became known as communists) to overthrow the Russian Tsar, and to bring socialism to Russia. Lenin introduced Communism to Russia. This changed the history for Russia as well as the rest of Europe, and to this day has had a huge effect on the Russian economy. Lenins impact on Europe and Russia consisted of him applying Marxist ideas, which later led to complete Communism, and a threat to Europe and the rest of world. In developing his plan of socialism in Russia, Lenin followed the examples of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, the original developers of the communist theory. The main aspect of any kind of government, and especially socialism, is its economic structure. Lenin explained that in his economic theory, called Imperialism, the first step was to gradually move into a joined monopoly capitalist phase, which later would become communism. Lenin went on to say that based on the disproportion between economic development of the monopoly stage, which is the beginning of full socialism, and capitalism, which is the meaning of a private life and freedom from others. The only problem with that theory is that a Monopoly and Capitalism are complete opposites of each other, and were bound to cause problems.(http://venus.spaceports.com/~theory/economy_1.htm) Lenin knew of this problem, but considered it a stepping stone in the right direction. He predicted problems, but thought in due time his economi c machine would operate with great success, and make Russia into a world mega power.

People were supposed to get free education, free medical care, everybody makes the same amount of money, working equally as hard, and everybody was supposed to get the same advantage in life. But it would never work out quite as planed. On October 25, 1917 (November 7th according to the new Gregorian calendar), Lenin led the Bolsheviks in a Socialist Revolution that would lead Lenin in charge of Russia. Everything that had been set in stone about the life and culture of Russian over the past centuries, would change during the course of one night. People were expecting great things, Lenin and others associated with his party, made Karl Marxs ideas about Communism sound great. Once Lenin came to power and tried to execute his plans towards his nation things went terribly wrong for the people of Russia. The problems started with the working class or the proletariat, the people that Lenin put in charge of the nation. As common knowledge, proletariats are not the most educated people, with no knowledge of how to help run a Socialist government. So the proletariats started making decisions that would hurt the common man in Russia. Decease, hunger and even cannibalism struck over some parts of the nation, where as before in the Monarchy rule under Tsar Nicholas II, Russia was as rich in agriculture as any other country in the world.(Shinskaya) Another promise that Lenin kept was that he gave the peasants more land. Also, he forced the peasants to move to collective farms, called ?Kalhoz? (Russian). The peasants didnt have any privacy, all their personal belongings were taken and put to public use in their collective farms. An example of the changes going on in the work force, on socialistic collective farm, was farmers, one farmer has two cows, the other had none. In a communistic gover nment, where everybody is completely equal, Lenin would make the two farmers coexist and work with each other, and make the farmer with two cows share with the farmer with no cows at all. Allowing the farmer with no cows to free load off the farmer with two cows. That is Communism; unfair, but too bad, you cant do anything about it. The peasants became outraged and started to strike. Bolshevik at first sight of resistance began to shoot down innocent people fighting for their freedom, all by the order of Lenin.(Isayevich 98) The problems didnt end there. .u3e5b191a9855aa3c8033757aea181756 , .u3e5b191a9855aa3c8033757aea181756 .postImageUrl , .u3e5b191a9855aa3c8033757aea181756 .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .u3e5b191a9855aa3c8033757aea181756 , .u3e5b191a9855aa3c8033757aea181756:hover , .u3e5b191a9855aa3c8033757aea181756:visited , .u3e5b191a9855aa3c8033757aea181756:active { border:0!important; } .u3e5b191a9855aa3c8033757aea181756 .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .u3e5b191a9855aa3c8033757aea181756 { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .u3e5b191a9855aa3c8033757aea181756:active , .u3e5b191a9855aa3c8033757aea181756:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .u3e5b191a9855aa3c8033757aea181756 .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .u3e5b191a9855aa3c8033757aea181756 .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .u3e5b191a9855aa3c8033757aea181756 .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .u3e5b191a9855aa3c8033757aea181756 .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .u3e5b191a9855aa3c8033757aea181756:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .u3e5b191a9855aa3c8033757aea181756 .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .u3e5b191a9855aa3c8033757aea181756 .u3e5b191a9855aa3c8033757aea181756-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .u3e5b191a9855aa3c8033757aea181756:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: There I was, standing high on top of a mountain EssayBack in the old days of Monarch Russia, the Russian people had a great belief of the church. In one of Karl Marxs publishings about communism, he replies ?Religion is opium for the common man.?(Isayevich 135) When Lenin took over he forbid religion, destroyed all the churches, and murdered all the priests, turning great national landmarks built by the blood and sweat of the Russian man into rubble. Anybody who tried to believe in something besides communism was murdered with out justice or a right to a trial by the authority of Vladimer Ilyich, Lenin. Lenin didnt want anyone to try to bring back the old Monarchy ways of Russia. He had the Bolshevik army murder Tsar Nicholas II, his wife, all his children and anybody who was associated with the Tsar.(Service 78) Lenins Bolshevik army, also known as the Red Army, went to a civil war with the peasants and the opposers of the socialist regime, which was the White Army. Russia was going through a turbulent time, fighting opposing nations, and a civil war that happened for eight months in the year 1918, and going through hunger, despair and decease.(Liberman)The plans of a world wide socialist revolution was now wide spread among neighboring nations. Based on their conclusions from Russia and how they handled the change and the horrible crimes that were committed against humanity on the part of the socialist party. Other countries around Europe wanted no part of communism, and considered it a serious threat to their existence. Bibliographynone
