TED Talk

I agree with what wassaid in this episode of TED talk. I do feel that America along with the rest of the West is declining in wealth and power. I also agree that places like China, Africa, and Latin America have a bright future ahead of them. I do think that they will definitely need to adjust and try to accept the 6 deadly apps in order to rise to their full potential because I feel that they are all necesities for a wealthy powerful nation. I do not think that if America gets passed it is going to be the end of the world and everybody is going to become poor, but I think it will serve as a wake up call. It will be a sign showing the American people and leaders that we need to change things that we aredoing poorly right now, and maybe even go back to how things were as soon as America rose to the highest economy in the world. I do think that America can change this economic decline, but it is going to take some time and flexibility.

Fabian Fucan's Attack on Christianity

Fucan is basically saying that Christianity is the wrong religion. He says this when stating that there is little truth to Deus's teaching and that Deus has a cursed fate. Fucan also mentioned how the countries that Christianity has taken over have been countries of barbaric people, and he states that his nation is more brave and will never give in to Christianity. He alsostates the destruction of the Japanese tradition that emperors are chosen by the Gods. He laims that the Japanese people would not break the Royal Sway and that Christianity would have to submit to this structure. He claims that getting rid of Japanese traditions will overthrow the culture and the country itself. He even finishes off by questioning the sensibility of a religion that gives a chance for such a terrible after life punishment.

Christianity and Capitalism

Christianity keeps splitting into different forms because it is further developing the beliefs of the Christian faith. They branch into different directions because some groups of people have one idea and if other Christians do not agree that this idea resembles Christianity, they either develop their own idea, or keep the same faith that they have currently. That is why there are so many forms of Christianity, from many differing beliefs based on the same set of values. I am not really too sure on what capitalism is exactly. My best guess is that it might mean a free market economy that has some government restrictions (of course making it not truly free) but is not completely ruled by the government. Basically I think it is an economy that is run by the people, but monitored by the government. Maybe???
