Karl marx


            Karl Heinrich Marx is known as the greatest philosopher and thinker of his time. His views on social structure and life revolutionized the way people would think. He created an opportunity for the lower class to rise above the aristocrats but it failed due to the middle class creation. He was still as a great political leader despite the failure and he set the Basis of Communism in Russia. Because of his life, it has contributed to the way people think today. In addition, because of that, people are more open to suggestion and are quicker to create ideas on political issues.
             Marx was born in the city of Trier Prussia, now, Germany on May 5, 1818. He was only one of seven children of Jewish parents. His mother, a Dutch Jewess, named Henrietta Pressburg was from Holland and never became a German at heart, not even speaking the language properly. She seemed to have no interest in Marx's intellectual side during his life. His father was fairly liberal, taking part in some demonstrating for a constitution for Prussia. He was a Jewish layer, and before he died in 1838, he converted the family to Christianity, where Marx would be baptized at the age of six. .
             Marx childhood seemed to be a happy and carefree one. The relationship between Marx's parents helped to set him in the right direction. His "splendid natural gifts" awakened in his father the hope that they would one day be used in the service of humanity, whilst his mother declared him to be a child of fortune in whose hands everything would go well. (The Story of His Life, Mehring, page 2).
             Marx attended high school in his own hometown where several teachers were suspicious of him harboring liberal ideas. He seemed to stand out among the crowd. When he was asked to write a report on "How to Choose a Profession", he went at it with a different approach. He chose to the angle that most interested him, by saying that there was no way to choose a profession, it was because of circumstances one is placed in an occupation.
