Disney hires NEW ACTOR and more....

Walt Disney Pictures presents TANGLED, one of the most hilarious, hair-raising tales ever told. When the kingdom’s most wanted—and most charming—bandit Flynn Rider (voice of ZACHARY LEVI) hides out in a mysterious tower, he’s taken hostage by Rapunzel (voice of MANDY MOORE), a beautiful and feisty tower-bound teen with 70 feet of magical, golden hair. Flynn’s curious captor Rustill (Voice of OUALID SLAOUI), who’s looking for his ticket out of the tower where she’s been locked away for years, strikes a deal with the handsome thief and the unlikely Trio sets off on an action-packed escapade, complete with a super-cop horse, an over-protective chameleon and a gruff gang of pub thugs. In theaters this holiday season in Disney Digital 3D™, TANGLED is a story of adventure, heart, humor and hair—lots of hair.

,Graham’s law

,Graham’s law addresses effusion or the quick and random motion of tiny gas molecules. The escape of tiny gas molecules through very small openings is defined as effusion.
Why does a helium balloon lose its helium? The helium is enclosed in a container, usually a good balloon. The holes through which the helium is escaping might be only about the size of the atoms or molecules that are escaping, so the helium can very gradually effuse through those tiny openings.
In another example, you may have a bottle of a gas sealed in a way that you think is very tight. You find that the gas has effused. Effusion is the escape of gas molecules through very small openings. The rate of this motion, how rapidly it will effuse, is definitely related to the kinetic energy of the molecules. Ek=1/2Mv¬2
V2= the mean square speed or the average square speed
M= the mass
E= kinetic energy
You should know that the kinetic energy of a gas is directly related to temperature. If you increase the temperature then you increase the kinetic energy of the gas. You are going to increase the rate at which it will effuse or escape. The law is frequently stated as: rates of effusion of different gases at the same conditions are inversely proportional to the square roots of their molecular masses. In other words, the heavier the gas, the more slowly it effuses. The lighter the gas, the faster it effuses: Ra x √(Ma=rb x √Mb) . The mass referred to is the molecular mass. Rate is always expressed per unit time. For example, it could be expressed in liters per minute.
If oxygen effuses from a container at the rate of 3.64 ml/sec, what is the molecular weight of a gas effusing from the same container at 4.48 ml/ sec? The second gas is effusing more rapidly; therefore, the second gas has a lesser molecular weight.
Ra x √(Ma=rb x √Mb)
3.64 ml/sec. X √(32g/1=) 4.48 ml/s* √Mb
√Mb=4.50
Mb= 4.50 * 4.50
Mb= 22.2 g/ mol
The second gas is significantly lighter than oxygen.

Hydrogen is less dense than air: two grams per mole. The hydrogen is moving at a greater velocity than air because smaller particles move at a greater rate of speed. As hydrogen moves through a person’s vocal cords, it will cause the vocal cords to vibrate faster and increase the pitch of the voice. Hydrogen increases the pitch of the voice because gas moves to the vocal cords at a higher rate of speed than air. A gas denser than air will move more slowly through the vocal cords, causing them to vibrate more slowly, decreasing their frequency and thus the pitch of the voice.

Graham’s Law of Diffusion


Bibliography of resources for background research

A Scottish physical chemist formulated Graham's law, better known as Graham's law of effusion. Thomas Graham discovered that the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the mass of its particles, so it was named after him (Graham).As I stated above, he found out through experimentation that the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the mass of its particles. I did not have to learn any new science because I understood everything that I read, for I learned about the different parts of the topic separately years ago. This does not mean that I did no research.

Notes
Gases have no definite volume.
They spread out and dwell in all the space accessible to them. This dispersal of gases is called diffusion. A gas will diffuse even if another gas is present in the same space. The molecules of gases are far enough apart to allow other gas molecules to fit in between.
Gases diffuse at different rates.
Graham's law states that, under equal conditions of temperature and pressure, gases diffuse at rates inversely proportional to the square roots of their molecular masses.
The term rate implies that something happens in a given period of time. The rate of diffusion of a gas is the distance its molecules travel per unit time.

In taking the experimental error into consideration, Graham’s law work as it was supposed to. This experiment be used to find the molecular mass of an unknown gas by pulging in the numbers given and useing algebra for figuring out the rese.



“Faster-moving molecules can escape faster than others through small holes in containers, and this escape is called effusion. They can also mix more rapidly with other gases by diffusion. These are usually done under constant temperature, “and so the relative rates of diffusion or effusion of two gases A and B depend only on the molar masses MA and MB:”


In the same period of time, the distance diffused by heavier gas, which has a greater molecular mass, will be less than that of a lighter gas. In this experiment, HCl and NH3, ammonia, (two gases) willl start to diffuse at the same time from opposite ends of a glass tube. Where the two gases meet, a chemical reaction will take place producing a white powder. By comparing the ratio of the distances traveled with the ratio of the square roots of the known molecular masses of the two gases, Graham's law can be confirmed.

EQUIPMENT
Glass tube
Two dropper pipets
Safety goggles
Cotton
Lab apron
Marking pencil

MATERIALS
HCl (con.)
NH3 (ammonia)
Water (for washing the test tube)
Fan (for drying the test tube)


SAFETY
Hold concentrated HCl and the concentrated NH3 carefully avoid getting then on your skin.

PROCEDURE
1. Find glass tubing, and make sure it is completely dry. Lay the tubing on your worktable preferably with a support.
2. Place cotton in each end of the tubing.
3. Remove the cotton pieces from the tubing. Using dropper pipettes, place about five drops of concentrated HCl on the one cotton peace and five drops of concentrated NH3 on the other cotton peace.
4. Right away and at the same time, place the cotton pieces into opposite ends of the tube.
5. After some time, a white ring will form where the gases meet to form a compound, NH4C1 (ammonium chloride). Mark the place on the tube where the white ring appeared.
6. Measure the distance traveled by each gas.
7. Remove the cotton peaces and rinse the tubing with water. Then wait for it to dry. Using a fan could help make the process go faster.
9. The procedure can be repeated to be sure of the results.


OBSERVATIONS AND DATA
Trial 1, trial 2, and the average of 2 trials
Distance traveled by NH3 35, 34.5, and 34.75
Distance traveled by HCl 16, 16.5, and 16.25
Molecular masses are: NH3 = 17
HCl = 36,5

CALCULATIONS:
1. Calculate the ratio: Distance NH3/ Distance HCl

Trial 1 35/16
2. Calculate the ratio: Distance NH3/ Distance HCl

Trial 2 34.5/16.5

How Hollywood shapes our perspective of movies!

Lord of the rings

· The monsters are obviously the mean guys.

· The monsters try and rule the world which means that they are the mean guys.

· The monsters are directly attacking the humans therefore they are bad.

· The humans are simply human thus more accepted

· The humans try and defend their land and before they only do peaceful farming

· The humans do not have disfigured faces therefore we like them better

· The humans don’t fight for the purpose of killing but for the purpose of defending themselves.

· The humans don’t sound mean with their voice and their words; they don’t say mean things or have very low or very high voices that sound bad for the ere.

I don’t believe that people only believe that monsters are bad because of Hollywood. Instead, I believe that children are naturally afraid of what they don’t see in real life. Another example is when parents tell their children about the boy that lives next door and does bad things, just to get their own child to behave well etc... This relates directly to the Hollywood movies such as lord of the ring because what Hollywood is doing is showing people that there are monsters and that they can come and attack you. We are humans, so naturally, what Hollywood would make us see as being attacked by monsters is humans. We now know that this subject is not completely only for adults but also for older children. This doesn’t mean that Hollywood does not have anything about wars in store for kids. Hollywood’s Monsters vs. Aliens is another movie, but this time to prevent young children from being too scared and eventually getting traumatized by monsters, the monsters are being attacked by aliens. We can see again that the bad guys are the ones doing the attacking. One thing that Hollywood does for all of its movies to show who is the bad guy and who is the good guy is play with the music. Bad guys get music connoted to the bad guys and good guys get music for the good guys. Most of the time, the good guys are the ones in the front picture. Because Hollywood knows that people love the main character, usually a good guy or at least the one with the better reasoning, and that people will look at the casing before they watch the movie, they try to give a brief introduction to who the good guy, so to speak, is before the movie is usually witnessed.

Planning

Google Advanced Sereach

Everyone has to research but what everyone needs is a guide on where to get this research. There four main ways to find the information you need. First one can use a Google or other browser search such as Yahoo, Bing...etc My personnel advice would be to use those tools to get an idea or a topic. Some sites for this are Clusty, Social Issues, and Google Directory. These tools together can help you brainstorm ideas, brows topics, and search topics on Google. If you need to understand the capacity of your topic, using Intute and INFOMINE can help you look into explained academic sites and browse explained research and educational sites by second-tier "robot-selected" results. If need to investigate other or related topics, using Clusty and Ask.com would be perfect. The last step is to filter and narrow your topic, and for this, you can use Clusty, SurfWax, or Wikipedia. Know I know that some people say that Wikipedia is a “bad” site and that it should not be trusted. Well, Wikipedia can hold good and correct information, but make sure to ferity and validate all the information given to you from it because anyone can, at any time, change anything her or she desires. You may be wondering what the sites that give quality results are. Here is list: ipl2, Virtual LRC, and Google Scholar are “authoritative and scholarly sites chosen by a subject expert.”

Sources and Experts, Ask a Librarian, and AllExperts are sites of “personal help from experts.” Google, Technorati, and Ask.com are “sites ranked or tagged as valuable or relevant.” The best way to acquire information is through primary sources such as American Memory, Ready, 'Net, Go!, and Library and Archival Exhibitions on the Web.

Source: http://www.noodletools.com/debbie/literacies/information/5locate/adviceengine.html

Using an advanced search is much more efficient then using a standard search. Take a look at the many options an advanced search provides:

It is also best to use more recent and still validated information because something might be discovered recently or more recently than the last time your other resources have been updated, and information would either be missing, incomplete, and/or incorrect.

Current – Occurring in or belonging to the present time

Relevant – Having a bearing on or connection with the subject at issue

Accurate – Conforming exactly, almost exactly to fact, or to a standard or performing with total accuracy

Credible – Appearing to merit belief or acceptance

Appropriate – Suitable for a particular person, place or condition etc

Bias – Influence in an unfair way

God is with me! SO MOM DONT WORRY

Dear Mom and Dad,

Late during the summer of 1914, train stations all over Europe echoed with the sound of leather boots and the smashing of weapons as millions of enthusiastic young soldiers, like me, assembled for the most glorious conflict since the Napoleonic Wars. In my eyes, pride and honour is all I care about. It has become a competition with the excitement of a wonderful adventure and knowledge. Within weeks however, horror and endless death was brought due to dangerous new machines which scattered corpses and wreckage. This new Great War is called World War 1. Starting in Southern Europe, the war, in time, spread into a global issue. The conflict took place mostly in Belgium and France. The new technology was machine guns, airplanes, tanks, chemical warfare, and grenades. Because of technological advancements at this time in history warfare was changed because the much more efficient weapons made it much easier to kill the enemy and eliminated chivalry. Because of these new advancements such as tanks, machine guns and lethal gasses such as mustard gas casualties were much higher and trench warfare was introduced to keep soldiers safe while not in combat due to the ability to kill enemies from long distances. We were soon realized that the Germans were not the only enemy. The winter of 1916 was the worst for me. Living in trenches was caused nearly as many deaths as the fighting. We only had two blankets each and had to sleep as close as possible to one another just to survive, but not it all changed. Reinforcements from the Allied powers came and my trench was one of the most fortunate. This past winter was so cold that soldiers became blocks of ice, and we would wake up after a few hours sleep to find our eyelids frozen shut. My feet once swelled to three times their normal size because I was standing for a week in water up to my knees, but we had no choice, we had to continue. I’m currently fighting in the Somme, but currently the shooting stopped. This place was named after the river flowing here. Some describe it as “a place so terrible that a raving lunatic could never have imagined it”. Here is my second area I fight in. In one day alone our army lost 60,000 soldiers.

You see the last part of this letter consist on telling you that I love you. You can be afraid for me, that the enemy will snipe me or something, but don’t forget that God exists and that I pray every day for him to keep me alive. When my time comes it will come, and no bullet can change that. Thus have no fear I’m just around the corner. See you after the War, I’m fighting till the very end for what I know as I fact is right.

L’v U! From your little Slaoui, Mohamed Slaoui

WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT ?

Thousands if not hundreds of thouand of children are being abused every year. Child abuse can be sexual. Another form of child abuse is when parents force their children to work in their place especialy when underaged. These problems occur all over the golbe and have been occuring for centuries but have lessened over the years because of several reasons. Some of these reasons are law inforcment, diminishing of povety, and the spread of education. The key to stoping these problems is education. By education everyone, including the people who abuse of their own children or other's childre, people will become aware of the troubles this brings. Some of the problems are pre teen mothers and aldolecent felons. The bigger problem though is that the children abused now might and have a larger probabilty of becoming abusers themselves. To help control some of these problems, governments have set down rules for people to follow. In an example of childlabour, Canada's law is that there is no childlabour permised and children under the age of 14 years old are not allowed jobs. This was the olny child labour in Canada will be inside a home because noone will employ a child under the age of 14 anywhere else. To help us stop this madness please visit: http://www.invisiblechildren.org/ and search for "April is Child Abuse Month" and write your response. Hope that you write me some constructive comments about my blog and this issue. Thank You and until next!

Change There Must Be - Take Action

Since President Obama is talked about this, I talked with my father about it too, and we came to some personal conclusions. We both went our separate ways, so here’s my side of the story. In a big study done by the World Health Organization in the year 2000, it is illustrated that the United States was 37^th on the list in terms of health care. Despite what other stubborn people might think the ranking is pretty accurate even considering sources of error, and there are those who would testify to the belief of a lesser tanking. One must keep in mind that the majority of western European countries are better in healthcare than the US. . For instance, France is rated #1. Never the less, other countries such as Singapore, Colombia, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Morocco also rank better US. . Other countries such as Italy, Spain, Austria, and Norway also are on the upper part of the long list and most of them are in the top ten.

Yes, I believe that the efforts made by the people of the United States should be carried through so that the United States moves closer and closer towards socialized health care. Why am I saying this? Well let’s ask ourselves: Do the countries motioned above, having great healthcare systems, have socialized health care? The answer is yes. Doctors in the United States suggest that the people who are less fortunate should not receive the same level of health care as the ones who are fortunate. These are the actions of greedy people. As a citizen of the United States one should reflect on whether or not these people should be allowed to dictate who gets the best health care. Are you going to throw away your money to healthcare insurances and doctors when you could have it for free, when it is your write to have it if you should choose to? Even if the company you work for pays for it, it is still coming out of your pockets, only indirectly. Your salary could be higher if your employers did not have to pay for your healthcare. Change there must be. Take action because it is my write.

What does imperialism do?

Source: www.apk2000.dk/.../Satire/statue_of_liberty.jpg

Imperialism in the United States of America let that wounderful country to have part in

affairs in other coutries. When the countries around this wouderful country realized what a world power, they tured to it for help. There was not one cause for this imperialism to start in the United States in the late 1800s. The humanitarian reason was that many people such as doctors and missionaries believed they should spread law medicine, and Christianity to other countries.

As the industry grew, people found a need for more natural resources such as rubber and

petroleum. They also needed more markets to gain more money.

The rise in nationalism was also a big factor because the people of the United States

beleived theat they were superior to other countries and it was their duty to spread their

beautiful ways.

Military factors were also a big factor.The advances in technology, especialy in military

thechnology, made the United States need more military bases around the world to things such

as refueling and protecting their nation and its people.

An example of imperialism is when the secretary of State (Seward) bought Alaska from

Russia in 1867. The United States were convinced that Alaska had many natural resources that

could be useful to them. Another expample is when America interfered with a Cuban rebellion

against Spain. Cubans demanded help from American. When President McKinley requested from

spain that these problems be solved with peaceful solution, Spain refused to give Cuba its

independence.

The United States intervened with other countries' affairs for the common benefit of

everyone. This wounderful country helped the weeker ones from the univentable European

powers that have always roamed to disterb peaceful relations.

Countries that put hand in hand

Images source: http://www.tcnj.edu/~darakjy2/globalization.jpg

Did any of you ever wounder what globalization means? I bet you did because not many people understand it, but that does not matter. Lets see what it means. Globalization is to make relations with other or all parts of the world or to make universal.

Though globalization we can creat a society throughout the world that works the same way, exchange cultures and ideas, pay more attention to humman rights, and share enviormental protection and technology. Because technology has improved, it reduced the costs of transportation and communication which increase tourism. Globalization creates more economic oportunity. Some other benefits of globalization is that it rises the standards of living, there is a better education, increases democracy. The basic benefits of globalization are faster growth with new opportunities.

Globalization is great but like everything it has it's cons. The most minor is that developing countries tend to try to keep the benefits of the economic growth for themselves. When stock markets crash in a country, then others crash in other countries because they are all realted. We are all connected so we depend on eachother and if some of us start to fail or even just on like the United States or Canada, then other places like Europe will start to fail, and then other places in Africa like Morocoo which is very dependent on the help of European countries esspecialy France.

Internet is another example of globalization. You can comunicate around the world using msn, facebook, YouTube, e-mail, my space, and other sites such as blogger. Globalization should be controlled in my opinion because if we get two dependent on eachother then sonner or later noone will want to work because, "you can just look it us on internet man and if it's not there then ask for it on yahoo answers ." It's that simple.

Dinamite PCs

Name of the company: Dinamite PC

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%.

After I get rich and pay back the money that I have borrowed, then I will help people that are in need, build shelters, provide food and water and clothes, etc… This can go on and on for ever and I don’t know what I will do first or how I will go on doing this, but I am sure that I will get there. Of course this is after I get a Ferrari and a Bugatti (cars that are fast).

Can’t you see it grow and notice the difference

Morocco has changed a lot during the last ten years. It’s leaders are beginig to care for it, and we can notice a change. A university professer once told my uncle that to see that a country is in the procces of a revolution one must first look at the public places. Are there guardens? Are there public bath rooms? What is provided for the people like roads, railways, communication, etc… We must see what the country is investing it’s money on. A small example of this would be when a dad gives his son 100DH. If the son spends it all on games, then he is not investing his money well, but if he buyes a healthy drink for 20DH, eats something healthy for 30DH, buys a book for 15DH, keeps in his pocket 5DH, and plays video games with 30DH, then he is a good boy that knew how to invest his money. This is the same for countries because they must also invest their money and they can invest it in just playing, building big buildings, building castles, etc…, or they can invest it in their people that way they can get something back because a castle gives nothing back it only demands more.
The middle east countries are not doing very good investments with their money. Because they have petroleum and gain a lot of money, they spend 100Billion dollars on a caslte and none on research for improvement. They could have spent 1Billion dollars on a castle and 99Billion dolars or resarch for improving their medical systems, getting new medicin that they do not have, ect…

Morocco is not a very wealthy country, but it has a very good strategical location. It is the door to Africa from Europe and the door of Europe from Africa. It is 15Km away from spain. It has many advantages, one that is its beloved king, King Mohamed 6, a man that truly has a vision for this country. Although he is the chief of it all, he cannot do this by himself because there are people that just want money for their own benefit. Never the less, we can see that Morocco has started its revoloution. It is being revolutionized in a positive way. We can see this through public spaces, transportation, communication, farming, industry, and relations.
If you walk down a more Moroccan treat were people are rather not wealthy, you will find some garbage on the floor, and some kids playing soccer with a ball of a diameter of 5cm (very small). You will also see some house wives cleaning up that mess, and telling the kids to clear the path for any passing cars. These people are trying to be clean although the government is not providing for them the best ways to do so because they are not the priority, but I think they are trying to be clean because they don’t want to be seen as a messy or unclean part of Morocco. What I have noticed in Moroccans is that they do not let anyone open their mouth at them, and they will do anything not to be criticized. These people have extened families that might be wealthy, and they will not want to be seen as unclean. Another point is that they notice that Morocco is a growing country and that it has started its revolution, so they don’t want to be seen as someone that holds this country back.
Now if you go to a rather cleaner area, you will see that there are public water closets, guardens, trees full of fruit, and nice people. You will find nice people because that garden is known to have nice people. This is another issue there is. The issue that there are different social classes in many ways, me and you could or could not end up in some the following different ways of social classes to together, by how clean you are, by how rich you are, by how polite you are, by how much you are related to the royal family, by how you are dressed, by where you spend your weekends and holydays, and many more. If you do not understand me then let me give you an example. I have a farm by Settat city and by my farm there is a big cement factory. There is a farmer that had 5 hekters of land by that cement factory. This company offered this farmer, that never got 500 dirhams all at once in his pocket, 2 billion dirhams for that piece of land and now he is super rich. That famrmer is ungly, not well dressed, not polite, does not anywhere during his vacations and all this even after he got rich. Now this farmer would not fit in the social class of a person that goes to that garden, and someone that is not rich but is polite would fit in perfectly with other rich people. This is a true story. Now we can see that there are social classes which is a sign of a revolution.
There are now three big comunication companies. These big companies are competing in Morocco to sell their communications. With compition, people lower their prices, give more services, and provide better products. This is only one example of compition in Morocco. Others are like banks and Internet. It is said that we will have the subway in Morocco and TGV. These two diffenrent train will lower the costs and quicken the procces of going to either long distances with the TGV or short distances with the subway which will most likely be connected with the trains.

Morocco is doing lots of export with other countries and has international relations. Moroccans export a bit of what they industrialize and their farming goods. Morocco pays up to 60% of any machines farmers buy to help them grow better, faster, and needed goods. Morocco also pays up to 100% of the drop system to any farmer that wants to implement it in his farming. Morocco is making good investment in its people and it is time that they also start to see the European farmers as people to look up to.
Morocco is revolutionizing.

Why didn't anyone tell us!?!...

The nation of Haiti is luckey to be stil standing after what had happend to them just a few days ago. That country was destroyed by an earthquake that measured over 7.0 on the ripter scale. More devestating news has just come in that another yet less minor earthqauke has striked the people onece more. This last one only measured a little 6.0 in the ripter scale.

I understand that there could be an earthquake that comes to out of shape poor country, but what I can not get in my mind is how could there have not been a warning and then a planed evacuation. This is unexeptable to the mind. In the news the President of this South American country stated that he was always devted to making it a lot better in anyway possible, but how could that be if he did not plan out something to prevent at the least the death of the estimated 200,000 people. There should be somewhere they could go, food ready for them to eat, and where to sleep is the minimal. This President can not have been serious about that claim, but I will try to understand.

There is not only an estimated 200,000 deads that are constanty beeing trown in the garbge every day making an discusting smell that roams the city, there are an estimated of 600 Billion $ to repair the country, and 10 Billion $ worth of local damages to the capital.

Never the less, the U.S. is sending in forces to stop the robbery and theaft that is going on there because of he hunger and poverty. The United Nations and many national red crosses have been sent there to provide people with food and a place to spend the night. The U.S. and Canada have been raising money to help these countries that are currently in Haiti now. In Quebec, Canada alone in one day a million six-hundred $ have been raised by the people. The Canadian governement is prepared to dobble anything the people raise.

This is all good, but there is something else that worries me. This is that for sure another earthquake will occur, but will the people be ready for it, and who will help them then.

Where to start peace

In the world there are many places where there is no peace, infact there is noware where there is total peace even if your in a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th world country and it does not even matter the governement of that country. I beleive that global peace in this world can not be acheived. Ask yourself this: when is the last time I heard about total peace in the world any time in history? Your answer is NO, NEVER. Thats because humans are not made in the way that they make peace with everyone. We love ourselves more than anything, and they only make relationships with others for their own benifits- This can also be seen in how countries behave because they are based on humans, countries base their relations on what will help them later ( ex: Morocco is friends with sends help to other countries while its people suffer- Why?- it's because they could help them keep the sahara desert). All the laws and rules we follow will not bring us to tatal peace ( or any other form of governemet) , it only delays the wars (disagreements) that will happen, for the way people think will never change.

In the socratic seminar, we discused other wise, but my team mates were all agaist me so I had to agree. We discused that they are ways to atain and keep peace. Some examples are that we could reinforce the law and educate the people. I did not attend the entire seminar, so I don't know what we discused after the first question, but if I were there then I would of wrote something.

What we need in society

05/01/10 Society Works Mohamed Slaoui

1. Ownership: People own some economic institutions

2. Decision-making: The King is in charge of making big, long-term decisions.

3. Structure: Every institution has a structure; it can go from a small family to a large company.

4. Services: The services are not all shared evenly

5. Culture: People are not always keeping their identity and often go with what they see on TV.
