Process Paper
This years topic for NHD focused on Exploration, Encounter, and Exchange, so as a group we
dived into the category list to find what assumes to be the best for us. Before we proceeded, our interests
of the topics did not quite intermingled with each other as we chose those that were fascinating. Like
many of us, we know little history and knowledge about explorations. Finally, we decided on Origins and
Rise of Communism in the Soviet Union to explore more about what happened during the era that
Communism first was introduced. We knew that difficulties were especially in Communists, it fascinated
us to explore their founders viewpoints as to establishing the ideology and why many of the world today
still exists Communist practice.
Next, the thesis was our next step. As we discovered what to generate, our thesis centered the
Bolshevik Revolution. We simply researched on the rise of Communism and the ideology it derived from.
During this process, we did however, first researched at our school library and combined the sources. Our
schools library did not have books that would help us with our theme but luckily, the library webpage is
connected to the public libraries that we could surf the web through eBooks. As planned, we divided
amongst ourselves and investigated each of the leaders that served Communism. We came across multiple
resources online such as GALE, US History Context, and more, that was reliable and contain the same
content information. Shortly, we looked into points of views to comprehend the basic terminology of
Communism and took out information that did not tie into our theme.
Moreover, we agreed to create a website for our project. We figured that it was best to create a
website that involves maneuverable and tabs to an extended page, through the process of exploring from
the beginning to the rise of Communism. As well as using multiple images and videos on the behalf of an
overall idea who the dictators that served under the U.S.S.R. By chance, we had two individuals who
were experiencing coding for years and ultimately they could create a designated webpage for exploring
Communism. Our two members involved with using extendedly HTML coding and CSS styling.
Considering that we were to create a website, we know that a website generally contains text and tab
pages to locate our resources and have a specific category.
The starting point of the rise of Communism was that of Karl Marxs published book called The
Communist Manifesto in desires to end Capitalism, as were the social class system and the unequal
dissemination of wealth. This topic focused on the deep history of the arrival of Communism, the ideas of
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels both establishing the same principals, correctly labels the exploration,
and the encounter of such political philosophy as it exchanged to several parts of the U.S.S.R. Although
the world is not concerned with the philosophy, they neglected the moralities to exchange their political
scheme with such Marxism ideas.
