Dear family, I’m in the western front in france and I want to talk to you how my daily life is in the trench and when I’m fighting.
Life here is very tough and tiring. I know that I don’t have the option to quit but I continue fighting for my country. In the trench, where I’m presently righting this letter, rats and other insects are invading the area causing numerus diseases to the soldiers. Luckily, I’m not one of these. Today, I fought with the Germans which were equipped with more sophisticated weapons than our army. Unfortunately, they forced us to recover back to our trenches. Each day, I keep thanking god for keeping me safe from troubles. Although our army is starting to loose hope in the war, I always believe in miracles to happen. I can’t wait to come back home and see you all.
Love you all

Progressive Thinker
One of the main issues in Morocco is that new roads need to be constructed in order to have a better quality of transportation. Highways throughout all of Morocco need to be built in order to facilate the passage for the vehicles. If the highways are built, then Morocco will increase in all the domains including a very important part which is agriculture because the food could be transported easily to other areas of the country. For me to be a progressive thinker, I suggest to start this project and invest all the money possible for the good of the country. Although a huge amount of money will be lost, it can be gained in the future. This can also attract the tourists because they can get to visit different parts of the country easily. Every problem has a solution.
This is what I propose for the people in the government to start in Morocco. If they apply this plan, I think that it will be a great success.

Flow Chart
Causes of Imperialism in US in the late 1800’s --> The three factors that started American imperialism were political and military competition, economic competition, and a belief in the racial and cultural superiority of people of Anglo-Saxon decent.
Examples of Imperialism in the US in the late 1800’s --> Some examples of imperialism in the US is that people from other areas came to the US and changed because of the Imperialism. In other words they changed because of others. This can be described of how imperialism effected the other people that moved to the US.
Effects of imperialism in US & other territories in the late 1800’s --> Imperialism helps a country in good and bad ways. All these ways are listed below.
Arguments for Imperialism --> Some pros for imperialism are that it industrializes smaller nations which help them boost their economy. Health centers are built over all the nations which then provide better health care. Schools are built which offers better education to the children. Transportation such as railroads, planes, boats is introduced to the country. Modern equipment for farming helps produce better food.
Arguments against Imperialism --> New cultures and religion that are being introduced to the nation are forced upon the people. Traditional cultures are not practiced any more by the people. Labor can be exaggerated by the imperialist.
Your opinion-editorial outline --> I am for imperialism because it helps a different nation improve in all the domains to have better ways of living. Without imperialism, the majority of the countries in the world might be poor. That is the main reason why I’m for imperialism.

Globalization
The definition of the term globalization in my own words is the spreading of new companies and industries throughout the world. This can be a good thing because it increases the connnectivity of the markets and businesses. It also helps people know better about each other which then creates a links between these people. The internet, phones, and other electrical devices help the gobalization expand greatly throughout the world. This can be important because new busninesses may be established. The cons of globalization is that many people lost or fear to lose their job due to globaization. This is because of Companies are competing against each other. Another important con is that the corporate may seek control over the world because there is a lot of power which is handed to them during the globalization.

Dinamite PCs
Name of the company: Dinamite PCs
Products of the company: Cheep computers that don’t last more than a year
Horizontal Nature of the company: Our markets are all around in the world. Places that are targeted are not where the richest people are. We mainly target the middle and low class who don’t like to spend a large amount of money for electronics because their chances of breaking are high. The issue is that there are no refunds, returns, or exchanges except if the product is defective.
Our first store will be in Morocco because the majority of the people are either from the middle class or from the low class. I know from personal experience that people in Morocco from the low and middle class want personal computers for the lowest price even if they are not the best quality. This will work especially in Morocco because there is a black market where people can fix their computers. We will plant other stores in France, Germany, Russia, China, and Brazil.
Another version of our computers only last one month but is of high quality. There computers will target rich people that want to use a portable computer for a month during their vacation or when they go to places like Las-Vegas to play in the casinos for a week. This computer will have everything a high quality apple computer has. The software will be the same as the one you would find in a stock apple computer, but this one will have installed antivirus.
Another type of people this product will target are spies and astronauts. These people want their data to be erased after a while. What this computer does is break after a month or when a code is correctly typed into a special area. When they break, the computer’s memory if completely erased without, leaving any trace of anyone ever being on it.
Vertical Nature of the Company: These computers will be completely built by machine so each factory will have its own sets of stores within the country, and it will produce depending on the demand. Each factory will have an estimated 5 stores in small poor countries, 20 to 50 stores within middle class counties, and estimated 70-130 stores within really wealthy or populated countries like china, The United States of America, and Canada. The factory will produce a lot of computer so no more than 5 factories will ever be needed, maybe one in each poor country we decide to target. The computers will be transported from the factory to the stores by our trucks, so this will not drain our wealth very much.
Energy: Energy usually means money. The employees of the stores will be paid by the stores from the profit the store makes, and the employees of the factory including the driver of the truck will be paid by the factory by what it gains. The factory will play the role of the manufacturer, in other words it will not give the computers to the stores for free. It will get paid by the stores as if they were an individual company.
Raw Materials: The materials used to create this computer are the same that are used to create every other computer. There will be metals and plastics. The factory part of the company will pay for this.
Labour: There are basic workers that are permanent at each location, and there are others that can come and go. The permanent employees at the factory, there should be a manager, chef of machinery. Other people such the people that sort the materials, count what there is, clean, use smaller machines, drive the trucks are not mandatorily needing to always be the same. At the store, the permanent employee is the manager. The others are just workers. Each location will pay for its own employees. The higher someone gets in rank and the more important he/she becomes, the higher their payment is the rule.
Government and Regulations: I think that governments will welcome this sort of business because it also get profits from taxes, makes their people work at our locations, and makes other people want to work to get a personal computer. I don’t believe there will be a problem there. Of course we will follow the rules of the country and not do any illegal activities, but if the rules are going to be a problem for our money because of for example too high taxes, then we will simply leave the country because we are there for business and to gain money and not to sell computers.
Profits: As I explained earlier each location will be responsible for its money and buying and selling its products. Let’s take a store for instance. It buys its computers from the factory, which is also ours, at $50, and spends $20 to sell it by paying employees, cleaning, and paying electricity, etc…, and sells them at $140. This is a $70 profit which is 100%.
When I give all the money that I burrowed in the first place, I’m going to spend a portion of the in helping other people. I will transfer thousands of dollars to hospitals in order to offer better medical care. This is important because it could save lives. Afterwards, I’m going to build wells in Africa in order for the people to have clean water. If I build these wells, I’m going to decrease the amount of sicknesses that dirty water provides. I’m also going to help some poor people that live in places where the economic activity is low. In these places, I will build small industries and try to reconstruct lands that can be farmed. There are many different ways of helping people, but not all of them could be used. This is important because you can be more and more respected by other people while you do all these important actions. This is why one of the primary priorities is to help others.

Industrial and Technological Revolution
While I was talking to my family about the industrial and technological revolution in Morocco, I noticed that war may sometimes bring change to a country. After morocco was occupied by the French, the industrial revolution began. Many areas were starting to fill with projects such as building dams, railroads, and highways. Morocco also started to notice that its lands occupied vast areas of precious material that could be sold to other countries and therefore attract more and more immigrants. If further projects are applied, Morocco may easily reach the level of the developing countries because it is in the route of development.
Another important area in which Morocco has been working for years is technology. Technology can help the country to modernize in order to reach the level of the developing countries. Presently, Morocco is starting to host more and more stores in order to bring the technology from other countries. This is a major revolution because morocco can also create its own technological goods in order to export to other countries. A trade can be present between our nation and the outside world. We can conclude that technology is a major is major area in which our country will need to work on.

Socratic Seminar
During our socratic seminar, everybody in the group took part of the conversation by dividing each question to a group of people. Each tim we had a new question, a group of people would center themselves in the middle of the class and be the core of the discussion. We discussed numerous topics such as the reconstruction and the economy of several countries. We also discussed one main current event that was the earthquake of Haiti. One of the main questions that followed this topic was about how Haiti could reover from this calamitous event. Overal, we all contributed to the discussion in order to receive ideas from students in the class.
