Monopoly was invented to demonstrate the evils of capitalism. Elizabeth J. Maggie Phillips was an American game designer writer, and feminist who was the creator. She invented The Landlord's Game, the precursor to Monopoly, to illustrate the teachings of the progressive era economist Henry George. Despite it all, the origins of capitalism came from racial capitalism. The concept of racial capitalism asserts that racialized exploitation and capital accumulation are mutually reinforcing. Racial capitalism created the modern world system. During slavery, Black humans were seen as valuable for the profits that they made. As humans, they were devalued, dehumanized, and disposable...

Character, what is it? And why it's important.
The etymology of character is quite telling. The word comes from the Greek kharakter for "engraved mark," "symbol or imprint on the soul," and "instrument for making," and can be traced further back to the words for "to engrave," "pointed stake," and "to scrape and scratch." In the 17th century, the word came associated with "the sum of qualities that defines a person. These qualities include man's intellect, thoughts, ideas, motives, intentions, temperament, judgment, behavior, imagination, perception, emotion, love, and hate.
