Why Not? Walk
So for Wednesday's class we went outside for the quiz then split off into our walking groups. Our part of group Why Not? spent the majority of the walk discussing the reading about Karl Marx. We discussed the many shortfalls in his theory and related it to past and present political issues both in our own country and globally (i.e. the Soviet Union, North Korea, etc.)
