Planning

For my research I plan to use either .org, .edu, or .gov websites because I know that the information listed in these kinds of sites are relieable. But before arriving here I will start by using wikipedia and the websites listed as their source. I will try to find historians point of views so I can analyze it to make my own desition because a part of my questions relies on my point of view. To find extra information I will use the advanced Google search because it is very precise and leaves out any useless information. I think that I would also like to search for powerpoint because I find them very helpful in class and think they will benifit me alot. Finally I will also go to the library to try and find books and encycopedias (ie Britannica) on my topic because I know the information is reliable and that it had gone through my reviewing steps before being published.

Soldier's Letter

Dear Mom and Dad,

I know I havent written for a while but we had to change camps because the Germans had invaded our trench. Do not worry I am not injured pysically but the mental pain is unsustainble. Though I have made many friends which I am sure will be my friends for life. But seeing them die one by one and havong death and rotting bodies all around is horrible and depressing. However we know it is an honor and a priviledge to fight for our country and protect its interest. There is some good news I 'd like to report our tanks will be arriving soon so I will help out the captain in managing and firing from it. However there may have some delay because of the rain which it seems will never stop. I miss home and all it has you guys and my brothers and sisters. I especially miss the food because here it is scarce and usually filthy from the rats that have infested our trench but the worst part about the trench is trench foor which many of my fellow patriots suffer from. Another seemingly minor issue but takes a huge toll in our life is the lice e cannot keep from scratching and theyy seem to multiply. Luckily I have recently heard that our ennemies are suffering from influenza which have made them weak so we are practically sure to win the next battle ( especially if the tanks come). With these tanks will be news from Paris and the US hopefully we will learn that those Yankees will join the war and help exterminate the central powers. If this happens I think I will be home for next Christmas to celebrate with all my family. All in all I hope you are proud of me and that you believe in this cause

Love and Kisses

Typical Teenager Problems

A Typical Teenager Issue: Homework Load

1. An example of a typical teenager issue is that they have too much homework load. This means that the child has to sleep late and is always tired or in a bad mood because he lacks sleep. Also having too much homework limits the teen in doing various activities such as sports, dance or musical instruments. Also having too much homework induces extra stress on the child because he is always worried if he will be able to complete all the homework assigned.


2. A solution proposed is that the student should use his or her free periods or other free times to get as much homework done ad possible. So that when the child gets home he does not have such a big homework load. Furthermore, sometimes teachers give us class time (usually when you have a quiz or test) to complete some of the assignments.


3. Unfortunately this solution does not always wrok because not everyone has free period. Also some the homework assigned cannot be completed in school they either require internet (computer in library are rarely free) or for you to ask your parents or some of the websites blocked by the school (youtube).


4. What I think is a good solution is to plan and organize yourself and seperate the homework load throughout one week. for on Mondays of B week we always complete the Histor and French assignment leaving math for your tuesday free period (if you have one). On the Tuesdays of B week we complete our Arabic and English homework and so on. All in all, in my opinion when dealing with homework organization is key.

Progressivism & Unmarried Women

Progressivism is a political attitude which encourages and promotes change and reform. The goal of political progressives is to improve the standard of living (end child labor, better wages, insurance, social security systems etc) by giving more power to the municipal and federal government. These ideologies have started to emerge since the late 19th century however there are modern progressives who try to follow on their ancestor’s footsteps. One major problem these people are trying to combat in America is to advocate the rights and life of unmarried women. Unmarried women represent 63% of unemployed women and 60% without health insurance. There are many reasons behind these inequalities. One is that they face discrimination because they are usually hired for lower paying jobs and have lower wages than men. Furthermore these jobs frequently do not include health insurance, sick time off and other basic needs. These single mothers have to take care of their children but child care is very expensive and most women cannot afford it. In addition things such as health insurance and retirement plans have been designed for marries couples. All of these have contributed to the low standard of living of unmarried women. The Center for American Progress and other Progressives has proposed some solutions to these problems.
1. They would like the Health care system that was proposed by President Obama to be instated because it would make health care affordable and available.
2. The government should expand Child care so it could provide funding to low income families such as unmarried women.
3. The government should pass acts that give single women job and training opportunities for “good” jobs.
4. Enforce the Paycheck Fairness Act which would strengthen the stop of women discrimination when it came to wages.
Progressive thinkers really believe that these changes and reforms would solve this problem and improve the country’s economy as a whole because unmarried women make up a fifth of the US workers and they are growing as a consumer group which is essential for a successful economy.

Imerialism Negative or Positive?

Imperialism is the policy of extending the rule of authority of an empire or nation to a foreign country. When imperialism reached the U. S they became very influential and had great power.
The reasons and arguments given for imperialism were numerous. Some people wanted to expand because they thought it was their destiny and duty to spread the superior American culture. These people usually had a big sense of nationalism. Others were driven by competition with European nations. Various seeked military bases in strategic areas and wanted refueling bases all over the world in case of war. And a few were missionaries and wanted to spread Christian beliefs. Economically some people wanted access to new markets such as China and they had an overproduction of goods and needed places to sell them and finally they believed America needed resources such as petroleum and rubber. All in all people truly believed imperialism would not only benefit them but other nations as well.

An example of US imperialism is its interference with Cuba. The Spaniards had to deal with the rebellion of Cuban people. The Cubans asked for the US help which after a lot of pressure McKinley (the current president) granted. This started the Spanish-American War. It ended when the Americans sunk all the Spanish ship. And the Treaty of Paris was signed which listed Cuba as an independent country and stated that Spain gives up Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Guam to the US for $20 million.

Some people were against imperialism and their arguments were as numerous as those who encouraged it. One argument stated that the countries that were in control of the US did not have the same rights as US citizens which were anticonstitutional. Another thing criticized was the manner from which expansion took place. They sent huge armies and used force to take over a country. People were scared these methods would be used within the country. Furthermore, racism grew because all these new ethnic groups moved to America and this started prejudice. Also some stipulated it was very expensive to annex a country and therefore America should stop.

All in all the positives did outweigh the negatives. Even though the arguments for imperialism were egoistical and selfish the outcome aided many countries such as Cuba who were suffering under the Spanish rule. However the manner in which imperialism occurred took many lives and was catastrophic the outcome saved many lives and helped many countries.

It is a unique HIGH QUALITY makeup company which will embelish all users and all different skin tones. These wonderful products are available in 4 major fashion cities.

Our shops were designed especially for women. It has pink fur all around the shops as well as pink fur wall paper. The shop will be round. Agreable music and embelishing lights sill lightem up the atmosphere and animate the environment. All products will be tested and very well designed with our logo on the front. All in all the shops will accomodate everything a women loves. OUr products will include Lipstick, lipgloss, blush, eyeliner, mascara, perfume...

Our beautiful shops feminim shops will be located in places easily accessed by our clientèle. We are aiming it to be rich classy women. Therefore our shops willl be in Ny, 5th avenue, LA, Rodeo Drive, Paris, Champs élyseé,Milan, Via Montenapoleane and Tokyo, Omotesando. These are laces where other luxurious shops can ba found, so they are frequently visited by out aimed clientèle.

Our factories will be located in Mexico a,d Morocco because of their high quality work and very cheap labor. we will have one factory in each country because it is enough for only 5 shops. We will take our resources needed from around the world and ship them to our factories. This will be expensive but it is a neccesary expense because we need the best resources, if we want the best quality products. Plus we will charge a lot for products.

Our sources od energy to run our companies. we choose as our primary source of energy hydropower. This is because it isn't expensive and it is a renewable source of energy. Furthermore, rivers are easily found in Morocco and there are a lot of rivers in Mexico. As our secondary source we choose windmills. However, only in Morocco because it is very windy in some places and they are very cheap. Finally these two sources are abundant and cheap in the countries where are resources are located.

The raw materials we will use are oil, alcohol and pigment for lipstick. Mascara is made with water and thickeners mixed with wax and pigments. for perfume we will need alcohol and sented flowers. For liquid foundation we need oil and pigments. All these resources will be shipped from around the world to our factories.

People who will manufacture our raw materials will be phillipines, because they aremany in Morocco and Mexico and they are very serious workers. They will work 6hrs a day so that they can get a lot of work done but they are not too tired at the end of the day. They will earn 15 dollars a day which is sufficient for them and considered a good salary for a factory worker. They will be given medical insurance and 7 allowed sick days. Women will be given 3 week maternity leave. All in all, workers will be treated well and they will work hard to earn a living.

We will get a hygeine permit and follow the food and drug act. We will label all the ingredients on all our products . We will definetly stick to the rules and be ready for any sanitary inspection. We will also have a money in case of a lawsuit. Which will hopefully never be used.

We will make profit because our clientèle will be wealthy classy women. Our prices will be high but worth it because our quality will be excellent. Women are also very picky about what goes on their faces, so it is sure they will pay the high price. ( they do pay millions for plastic surgery!) Plus we will publisize it and make it very galmorous. Our spokesmodel will be Miranda Kerr and Tyler Shields will be our photographer.
