Critical and Reflective Thinking

I think the French Revolution is justifiable. I believe it is justifiable because their were thousands of people in the third estate that were struggling with being the only estate that needed to pay taxes, an increase in food prices, and having a corrupt king and queen that wasted the countries money on un-necessary items. France was also struggling from a long line of monarchies that abused their power on citizens and people wanted change; people wanted a democracy and for their voices to be heard. All of these reasons add up the the fact why I believe the French Revolution is justifiable.

Analysis

I can analyze my own beliefs and consider views that do not fit with them. I collected all of my information sheets that we worked on in class and I did extra researching to further deepen my learning and understanding and opinions. I also listened to my teachers’, and classmates’ views and opinions on the French Revolution and took their ideas into consideration.
