Class related response
    In Economics class we are doing two projects at the same time, One project is a Household budget project. For the Household budget project, it is an 1 person to a 2 person project and you get assign an income, a credit score and a number of kids. You have to try and create a life on how you would live your life on your budget. It isn't an easy project because i was assign a 50,000 income with a credit score of a 700, but my partner income is 35,000 with a credit score of  580. Because we are suppose to be married company's look at the lowest credit score and  it makes it hard to get stuff.
    The second project is the stock project,the stock project is a 1 person to a 4 person project. We have to find 8 stocks that we would like to invest in and analyze the stock charts and the information about the company. Learning about stock is stressful because investing you would have to watch the chart all day to see if you gain money or loose money. I like this class because i get to learn about economic issues and what you can do to get money with your business or other businesses.

    John Locke is one of my favorite enlightenment thinker. John Locke was a minster, became a doctor, then ended up as a philosopher and political scientists, he also was a writer. Locke believed the government suppose to protect the people and people's natural rights. People shouldn't give up some freedom so the government can protect their rights. Stated in fee.org "Locke believed that people was reasonable and moral. That everyone had natural rights from the moment that they were born. Natural rights were life, liberty,  and property." Locke leaves thoughts on human understanding and politics that still influence the structure of the environment today. The third president of the United States Thomas Jefferson was influenced by john Locke 's ideas and put some of his ideas in the constitution.
