A manifesto is a public declaration that one person or a group of people make that they believe will change something, or fix a problem that plagues the world. Manifestos can contain principles and intentions that are often political in nature, but are not limited to politics. Manifestos can outline particular points of a persons’ life, school work, or simply his/her strategy to accomplish a goal of any sort.
Their have been numerous manifestos. Some of them have been received well by the public while others have been completely rejected and thrown out of the topic of discussion. A few manifestos that were accepted by the general public are The United States Declaration of Independence written by the second continental congress, The Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marx, and also Mein Kampf written by Adolf Hitler himself. Although the Declaration of Independence turned out to be a very good thing the public was split on whether this new manifesto was going to be accepted or not. The Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf were accepted by the public right from the get go because both Hitler and Karl Marx had a way with their words. The Second Continental Congress, Karl Marx, and Adolf Hitler all laid their intentions out on the table, and both great and terrible things have come from the brains of these men.
The Declaration of Independence, written by the Second Continental Congress for the United States of America was accepted and adopted on July 4, 1776. The Declaration declared that the thirteen colonies in northern America were to be announced “Free and Independent States” and that “all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain is and ought to be totally dissolved.” The Document was passed because there was a unanimous decision by all thirteen colonies. The Declaration also explained the justifications for separation from the British crown, and was an expansion of Richard Lee’s Resolution which was passed by congress on July the second.
Another very influential manifesto was The Communist Manifesto (The Manifesto of the Communist Party) was written by two communist theorists Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. This manifesto planned out the suggested course of action for a proletarian or working class revolution. The whole point of this manifesto was to overthrow the bourgeois social class order, and to eventually bring about a stateless and classless world. This manifesto was first published on February 21, 1848, and ever since then the very influential political tracks that Marx laid out have been followed without question. This Manifesto was commissioned by the Communist league.
Finally Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf was a manifesto written for the world to know exactly how Hitler was going to take Europe over. The German-Austrian dictator wrote the first edition of Mein Kampf in 1925, and later in 1926 he wrote the second version. This manifesto was heavily influenced by Gustave Le Bon’s 1895 The Crowd: A Study of The Popular Mind. Mein Kampf has a very prominent violent Anti-Semitic view. Hitler also discusses his views on “the Jewish Peril”, and says that it is impossible to be a German and a Jew at the same time. This manifesto is also a book on political theory because Hitler talks about his view of the worlds twin evils Communism and Judaism. Mein Kampf also laid the stage of how Germany was going to rise up and overthrow the shackles that the Treaty of Versailles placed on them.
Jacksons’ Goals to Take over the World!!!
First off I will need to finish writing this paper. For the betterment of my life I will need to graduate from these little classes that I am taking at the moment. Then I will also need to finish up with my regular four year college education, or finish up my junior year before I can get accepted into the universities Dental program. Before I can obtain my bachelors degree, or get accepted into the dental school I will need to maintain my management position at McDonalds so that I can keep affording to travel all the way out to the U of M campus from Bartlett everyday. After I finish up with my college education I will spend one to two years as an intern at the dentist office of my choice, and after that I will be able to become a licensed dentist. I plan on working at the dentist office that I interned at for a few years after I finish with my internship so I can save up my money and be able to afford my own office. After I open my own office I will keep grinding on and on and letting the money pile up, or at least I hope it is money piling up and not the bills. If I am lucky enough to make enough money to hire a few other workers, a secretary, and maybe even the top notch machines I will try and expand the office into two stores, and I will hire more licensed dentists to run the other store while I run the first. Following the purchase of the second store I will begin training another dentist to run the store that I am working at so I can become more of a supervisor over the two stores, and after all that I will watch the two stores grow to four then to eight until I monopolize the dental market. By the way this will all take place in southern France.

That was a fun manifesto! Great job, also, on the research! Did you notice my brand new gorgeous teeth?
I think that your manifesto is very inspiring! You already know exactly what your goals in life are and how you want to reach them. In my view, that is a very important step to become a successful person/dentist in our economy/society. I bet that there are not so many people in our class that know as precise as you what they want to do after their graduation from the University of Memphis. I respect you and your goals and I am honestly impressed by your plans. I wish you all the best and that you are able to achieve all your goals.
