planning

the best sites to find info in are sites that end with .gov or .com or .uk
The sites should have citation information with the name of the author and all info needed to complete the bibliography. Books are better sources then the cites because they get published before being released. However sites are not that reliable because anybodu could add stuff in the internet without getting published.
take a look at maps librarys and many other resources and always list you resources in a neat anf oragnized fashion.

Imperialism


The policy, practice, or advocacy of extending the power and dominion of a nation especially by direct territorial acquisitions or by gaining indirect control over the political or economic life of other areas; broadly : the extension or imposition of power, authority, or influence

Imperialism has to sides to it like all the other things. A bad and good part.
Good part: The nations build roads, canals, and railways. new technology, newspaper, established schools and overall made them economized. The people become part of modern culture after this occurred. Another positive effect is Missionaries. " It shows how the colonial governments introduced improved medical care, and better methods of sanitation. There were new crops; tools and farming methods, which helped, increase food production. These changes meant less death to smaller colonies, and overall improve the state of living. They now could live a healthy life and live for longer time.

Bad part The nation were put to work as cheap labor. They had no freedom, had to do what the mother country said since it has so much towering power over them, they were exploited and were taken advantage of. The last negative effect can be seen in document called "The German Cartoon." This cartoon shows how severely the presence of imperialism affected such continents as Africa. The man in the machine is being forced to drink hard liquor and alcohol, they were corrupted and given evil minds, their money was all taken away, and most of all religion was forced upon them.

In my opinion Imperialism is mainly bad because all Africans and Asians were heavily exploited and were given no rights to do anything even though the mother countries gave them modern culture. Colonies inside colonies would fight because they wanted independence and have their own government and rule.


look at this document it is really helpful www.edteck.com/dbq/dbquest/quest10.htm

The Ben's times


In November 1898, opponents of U.S policy in the philippines established the anti imperialist league . Most of its organizers were well to do Professional. They included editor E.l. Godkin, democratic politician William jennings, Bryan, settlement house leader JAne addams and the novelist Mark Twain.

Moral and polictical arguments , to support their position, the anti-imperialist used a variety of arguments. As one prominent republican and former senator from Missouri explained in 1889.

"we regret that it has become necessary in the land of Washington and Lincoln to reafirm that all men of whatever race or color are entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." _ Carl Schure Cayton Perry Reed Winkler pg. 373

The people who were for imperialism : offers new frontiers for the American imagination and spirit.

The people who were against imperialism : Reject the foundations of american ideals and democracy.

Maintaining the necessary armed forces required more taxation debt.

buisness plans

Tahar EL Yacoubi

Mohamed Benouanas

Company name: Ets. YacBen and co.

Products:

· Our idea is to buy the best milk producing cows and take those cows and put them in a farm to milk them every day and test the milk in a laboratory. Then we’ll sell the milk to yogurt, cheese, Biscuit and whip cream factories. We will also manufacture the milk to sell it as natural fresh milk and the left over will serve as butter making.

· We will build our first company (factories) in Switzerland in the U.S.A. and Holland. That is because the majority of the people in these countries are rich. After making a very high profit of our sales we will then build and spread our factories around the world in many other places like Africa, china India and many other places. Our stores will be everywhere in Florida, New York, Tokyo and Holland from where we will export our cows. These countries are very populated and it will help us to sell lots of our milk and butter.

· Our main OEM is located in Holland because it is the place where the most of our cows will be brought from and where most of our milk will be made and sent in other countries.

· We will have a lot of workers from different countries like Americans, Moroccans, Europeans, Australians, Chinese and many more. We take workers around the world to have many ideas from foreign people that have different ideas. We also would like for different people from different countries to unite and work as one.

As we said before we will first milk our cows

1. Test the milk for any microbes or diseases being carried.

2. Then we will sell 25% of our milk to Yogurt factories.

3. After that we will produce our own butter and whip crème out of the 25% of milk because they are the most expensive.

4. The other 25% left will be for natural fresh milk selling.

5. The last 25% will be sold to Biscuit factories.

Ben is millionaire now

I will spend 50% of my money to help build Schools for poor people who don’t have the chances to have a proper education. I will also build a retirement home for the old poor people who want to spend the rest of their life with people their age. Old people who have families that don’t really care about them are more than welcome to come.

We the audience in the seminar listen and gather ionformation from their peers. What i personally learned is that people should plan ahead and always plan for the worst that could happen. Ive also learned about how destruction could affect change and how people could feel sorry for the past and start with a fresh begging.

The acts






Compromise of 1850 Site 1 and 2/
Acomplishments were to make the nations united, but the solution was only temporary. Over the following decade the country's citizens became further divided over the issue of slavery. This compromise dealt with the spread of slavery to other territories in order to keep northern and southern interests in balance.
This compromise dealt with the five bills:
California was entered as a free state.
New Mexico and Utah were each allowed to use popular sovereignty to decide the issue of slavery. In other words, the people would pick whether the states would be free or slave.
The Republic of Texas gave up lands that it claimed in present day New Mexico and received $10 million to pay its debt to Mexico.

If this act/ compromise didnt happen we might still have slavery now a days and we would also have some nations in the world that arent united like America.

Kansas-Nebraska Act Site 1 and 2

The united sates of america used this acted to compromise the slave act. However this act served as the opposite, it increased the violence over slavery. The Kansas Nebraska Act was a major step or pathway to the civil war.
A American senator devised the Kansas-Nebraska Act in early 1854, was named Senator Stephen A. Douglas, this wealthy man had a goal in head and this goal was : the expansion of railroads.




Presidential Election 1860 Site 1

morocco economics when where who why

American history homework Ben

Moroccan economie WHO, WHAT, WHERE AND WHY

WHAT/Economie of morocco / Politics of Morocco take place in a framework of a parliamentary constitutional monarchy,the Prime Minister of Morocco is the head of government, and of a multi-party system. Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the two chambers of parliament, the Assembly of Representatives of Morocco and the Assembly of Councillors. The Moroccan Constitution provides for a monarchy with a Parliament and an independent judiciary.

WHO/ The constitution grants the king extensive powers; he is both the secular political leader and the "Commander of the Faithful" as a direct decendant of the Prophet Mohammed. He presides over the Council of Ministers; appoints the Prime Minister following legislative elections, and on recommendations from the latter, appoints the members of the government. While the constitution theoretically allows the king to terminate the tenure of any minister, and after consultation with the heads of the higher and lower Assemblies, to dissolve the Parliament, suspend the constitution, call for new elections, or rule by decree, the only time this happened was in 1965. The King is formally the chief of the military. Upon the death of his father Mohammed V, King Hassan II succeeded to the throne in 1961. He ruled Morocco for the next 38 years, until he died in 1999. His son, King Mohammed VI, assumed the throne in July 1999.

WHERE and WHEN / Following the March 1998 elections, a coalition government headed by opposition socialist leader Abderrahmane Youssoufi and composed largely of ministers drawn from opposition parties, was formed. Prime Minister Youssoufi's government is the first government drawn primarily from opposition parties in decades, and also represents the first opportunity for a coalition of socialist, left-of-center, and nationalist parties to be included in the government until October 2002. It was also the first time in the modern political history of the Arab world that the opposition assumed power following an election. The current government is headed by Abbas El Fassi.

REASON WHY/ After independence from France in 1956, a hereditary monarchy was established, which is now headed by King Mohammed VI, who succeeded his father and ruler of 38 years, King Hassan II, in July 1999. The country has had a multiparty system and an elected legislature since the 1970s. Morocco has more than a dozen legal political parties. The Constitutional Union (UC) Party and the National Rally of Independents (RNI) are the 2 largest. Both are conservative and pro-monarchy and together traditionally provide a near majority in parliament to back the government. Although the king tolerates the opposition, he is quick to suppress groups on the political fringe. Even members of legal political groups, such as the small, leftist Party of Progress and Socialism (PPS), have been targeted periodically for crackdowns by security forces.Ultimate power rests with the king, who is chief of state and appoints the prime minister, all cabinet ministers, and all supreme-court judges. A new constitution, designed by the late King Hassan II in 1996 and approved by a public referendum that same year, established a bicameral parliament, replacing the previous system in which two-thirds of a 333-member unicameral parliament (Majlis Anouwab) were elected by popular vote. Under the new constitution, all members of parliament are now elected. A program to reform the economy was launched in 1992 with the help of the World Bank. The objective was to privatize state-owned companies, enhance the country's economic management, raise productivity, and reduce its soaring budget deficit . The program gained new momentum under the government of Abderrahmane Youssoufi, who has served as prime minister since 1998. The current government, a coalition of socialist , left-of-center, and nationalist parties and, for the first time in years, opposition parties, has launched a campaign to reform business laws and regulations and draft a new labor law.

US Constitution

I chose this order:


Article one section eight


Second amendment


First amendment


Article four section four


Why i chose this order?


First I chose the article one, eighth amendment, because it tells many ways how the congress has power. And the congress has about all the power of the city and that is a good thing because it makes all the changes and the orders and the selection and every political, social, and economical decisions for the president and with the president. I chose that second because two forces together make the city a bette rplace for everyone and that's what everyone wants.


Then I chose the second amendment, because i think that the US cares about the safety of the citizens and carrying a weapon is perfectly correct for protection of your home and you own self. The people with weapons will save more lives and the bandits will be taken to prison. I think it's good because the right of hving a weapon will protect people from dangers, and protect the people from injuries which will make less people in the hospitals and more bandits in prison and a peaceful world.


Next I chose the first amendment, because it's one of the most important amendments out of all of them. It stated the freedom of people and one choice of religion. Also the freedom of expression and the freedom of all these things united is a big power for the humanity. I think that the people have to be able to choose what they want to do or be in their lives they don't live in function of the others and their right is to choose their religion, their freedom of speech they could talk about anything, and they could be free of doing any desired thing in their live. That is the freedom of lives.


After that i chose the article four section four, because it guarrantees that the government must assure protection for the US and this makes the american citizens more sure about many things. Many people move, due to the bandits and crimes and the government assures security and now many people change their minds about the leaving and actually more people come to live here. I think it's important because it proves to the americans that the government can do anything to make the us citizens comfortable in their homes and that america is getting more developed.

Why is history important?

History is important because histroy is cycle of time, in other words it repeats it self again and again. So it is important for the people in modern times to learn their history and see the patterns from decades to decades to have a strong hypothesis on the future.Histroy shows improvements and declination of the countrie and its people and gives a general summary to its people.This helps people learn from their mistakes. History takes a big part from our culture, in other words if we dont know our histroy we wont know were we come from or who are our ancesters.

Cartoon/One tree family

I subscribed to one tree friends. I love watching these series because they have some funny cartoon violence that amuses me alot. These cartoons dont teach me anything but just keeps me entertained for some amount time. One tree friends is found under at the movies section.














Colonization of Morocco by the French.

Morocco was colonized by france in 1912 and got its independance in1956.

The french locked the moroccan king Mohammed the fifth in madgascar and they ruled over the countery but hopefully there were strong men like (Mohammed Zerktouni and Karim elkhouttabi and many others) who fought back to regain control back their control.

Moroccans also learned alot of things from this colozination like speaking in french and living like the french wearing like the french etc. >This colonization also left many good things to this country like strong and old building that still holds up untill the current time and powerfull armerie like guns bombs and many others.

Apple adds video camera








On the lower left of the new fifth-generation nano, there is the camera with a speaker and microphone, but unfortunately you'll have to syncronize it with your computer before you can upload clips to YouTube. The camera-laden nanos will be available with the 8GB model at $149 and the 16GB edition at $179. The new nano can last up to 24 hours when playing back audio (same as 4G nano), while video playback should zap the rechargeable battery in just five hours. This is the new nano generation with video and speaker!
