1. Summary
This web page explain economy. It introduces two major theories of economy (capitalism and socialism), economic measures like GDP, Gini Coefficient. The capitalism part explains capitalism’s history and its operating principle. The socialism part explains socialism’s examples in various countries. This two parts have criticism of each theory.2. Interesting, new things
I didn’t know well about socialism. The curriculum until high school emphasize the features and benefits of capitalism and it skip or reduce explanation of socialism. maybe, I think, it because Korean economic system is capitalism. So, I am interested in the part of socialism. The most interesting part is that the classes of socialism are classified according to the ability. I unconsciously thought that socialism would be no class and share their income equally at the same rate.3. Discussion point
After reading
this page, I wonder “Is it right that don’t teach details of socialism?” In our
society, formal education does not teach socialism properly. Sometimes, I felt
society trying to conceal it. Is it correct teaching to have negative perceptions
without knowing exactly what socialism is? I suspect that the whole of society
is sort of brainwashing. So, I think students need the opportunity to think
themselves rather than learn a one-side argument.
