     Today in class our teacher Ms. Gleason passed us out Hershey chocolate kisses. Some of the students received more than others. Then we were instructed to play rock paper scissors, the winner would win the the chocolate that the looser had. The students with more kisses to start, obviously won the game. This was frustrating because the kids with only three kisses in reality had no chance of winning this game. 

    Marx gave us a theory of society and told us how society works.the form of the productive system, is the most important determinant of all other aspects of the society, such as its social institutions and ideas, such as the system of law, of morality and education. On the other hand, Smith believed in a system called the invisible hand, which would benefit the poor.Adam Smith to describe his belief that individuals seeking their economic self-interest actually benefit society more than they would if they tried to benefit society directly. Therefore targeting those who cant afford more things then others, focusing on the poor and needy. 

    In my opinion I believe that Marx's theory makes more sense and has more of an overall effect. Even if  Smith's theory of helping the poor, you couldn't benefit from something if you don't have any money to start. All in all Marx's theory would benefit for a more long term change.
