2.       WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A SOCIALIST SYSTEM?
3.       WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A CAPITALIST SYSTEM?
4.       WHAT ARE THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A SOCIALIST SYSTEM AND A CAPITALIST SYSTEM? (STATE AT LEAST THREE)
5.       DO YOU THINK THE INCA EMPIRE WAS A SOCIALIST OR CAPITALISTIC SYSTEM?
6.       EXPLAIN WHY YOU THINK THE INCAS WERE A CAPITALIST OR SOCIALIST SOCIETY? PROVIDE 3 EXAMPLES.
