Karl Marx (Robert Durant)
I Karl Marx believe that all humans should work for the common good and that all humans should do their best at their job for the good of the society so that everyone will be equal and everyone will enjoy the benefits of this system. This being said I do not believe that Europe's Industrial revolution positively impacted all of its citizens in a positive way. Europe's Industrial revolution was a time of change in the way we do things in our everyday life. The Industrial revolution brought about many new jobs that were dangerous with long hours and no set wages across the board. Some workers in certain mills were earning more money than workers doing the same job in other mills simply because the owner of the mill which was paying less money had less money to give to his employee's. Also the Industrial revolution forced many children to have to leave school and work in factories, which in the end will hurt the nation in the long run because without educated people nothing will get done, in fact the entire Industrial Revolution was started by educated people who went to school. I believe that we should share our resources so that the economy will thrive. If we all had free insurance and were all paid equally and treated equally no one could take advantage of each other and everyone would be in charge of themselves and silly work for the good of society. This plan requires full participation by the citizens of the nation and no one can try and take control. All members of the society must be equal. The industrial revolution was a time of people all receiving different wages based on where they worked and luck of the draw, but if we treated everyone equally and gave everyone an equal chance surely Europe would thrive.

You think with the mindset of a true utilitarian. Such is a positive quality. Your proposed society is quite intriguing, as it seems to maximize utility. Perhaps equality is the path to utility. I would support such a society, as all actions would benefit the majority, thus maximizing pleasure. However, do you believe such a society would work? After all, it is within human nature to promote one's interest over that of the society. Fundamental to the nature and activity of individuals is their own well-being . The society you have depicted is desirable, but I believe it would fail to work.
