1) I believe LIBERTY is the first choice because with out liberty, equality would not be able to work out. Nobody would have any type of freedom of speech, or any say in the world and you need to start with that then move on to other issues. 2) justice 3) equality

Mao's impact wasn't necessarily good for China, but his mind set was okay to me in some ways. He wanted everyone to be equal which is okay to me but he decided to take it out of hand and started to take lives while going forward with his plan. Erasing social identities of people was not okay because everyone is there own person so they need their own image. Helping people out economically is okay but taking away their identity isn't okay because he eventually started to kill millions of people over it. Eventually there was no food to fill the agriculture so people started to starve and that's not okay either. His intentions on making the economic status of people was okay, but the way he went about doing so was not. **China was one big robot under Mao's leadership.**
 * Paragraph from Video: **


 * //__ MAO'S QUOTES AND SENTENCES: __//**

A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.


 * — From //Report on an Investigation of the Peasant Movement in Hunan// **

__* A revolution isn't to make friends or to watch each others back. A revolution is to throw some fists, and start a war until you get what you want. For example, over throwing a government or specific party your country is not fond of.__

The revolutionary war is a war of the masses; it can be waged only by mobilizing the masses and relying on them.


 * — From //Be Concerned with the Well-Being of the Masses, Pay Attention to Methods of Work// **

__* You need army's and men everywhere fighting for your government because that's the only way you'll win.__

War is the highest form of struggle for resolving contradictions, when they have developed to a certain stage, between classes, nations, states, or political groups, and it has existed ever since the emergence of private property and of classes.


 * — From //Problems of Strategy in China's Revolutionary War// **

__* War is a huge struggle for anyone involved when it gets to a certain level, people have to say enough is enough.__

 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16px;">__**According to the quotes above how might Mao Zedong define revolution**__?

He might say its about being the higher power in the war which means you have to have the better army, economical status, and political status.

__**<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16px;">Do you agree with quotes of Mao? Why or why not? (use specific evidence from the quotes **__

I personally agree to an extent on each quote because a revolution doesn't have to be bloody, people choose to make it bloody because they don't know how to talk it out or make negotiations.
