1. How can the presence or absence of natural resources and arable land affect a nation’s economy, regardless of the type of economic system?
If the natural resources wouldn’t be present the country will be really poor because the country needs to produce things so people of other countries buy them their products also what would happen to the people that they would be starving because they would have neither food nor vegetables. Also the economic problems would be really big because if a person has a house and they don’t have enough money to pay their electricity or water they would have to sell the house so they get the money to pay the bills. And the country would have problems to because if they want to bring doctors from other countries they couldn’t pay them….
2. How can life expectancy and literacy rates affect the quality of labor in the economy?
If people die earlier they wouldn’t get that much chance to learn more about their job… if people were illiterate they wouldn’t really get good jobs they would just work on a grocery store but they would be packing the food… and they wouldn’t win that much money… also the people who have a good education they would have good jobs and they would get a lot of money… and later they would get expert in the job….
3. How can GDP per capita and poverty rates indicate standards of living in each system?
In Chad the people live no that long because they don’t have clean water or food so they get diesis and they die in North Korea and the United States, has a lot of money and they would have better sanitation in the country… and the people would lie longer if they have good sanitation…
4. How can the size of the industrial/service sector and the agriculture employment rate indicate the level of industrialization?
In most of the countries people do more industrialization instead of agriculture because the people produce more products, in agriculture it would be much harder for the people because if the temperatures raise to a high level the land would be dried and the people cannot plant vegetables…
5. How can electricity, communication, and transportation facilities indicate the potential for industrial growth?
It would help the industrial growth because these people who bring our facilities like to transportation, it would be increasing because the people who work in these companies would buy more of the buses and later the number of buses will increase… also like with the petroleum if you have a lot of buses in a country you will need fuel so they can work.
6. Considering the lack of natural resources, the labor problems, and the lack of capital and little industrialization of developing countries, how can developing countries develop? (Hint: Look at Economy - Overview for Chad).
In Chad it’s not a well developed country it has problems with the sanitation of the country… they produce a lot in agriculture, these country has a lot of influence in agriculture than in industries, in Chad they cannot afford money so they can buy industries like making : Clothes, shoes. Etc…
Conclusion:
Market-oriented and command nations tend to place different priorities on the role of government in the economy, with the government sector generally playing a larger role in command nations. Given their resources, market-oriented and command nations can choose to focus on increased industrialization and expansion into new markets. Developing nations, however, often lack resources necessary for industrialization and must seek aid or investment from industrialized economies in order to grow. With increased globalization, we are becoming more acutely aware of the interdependence of all nations in our world economy.

Corpration (Movie)
Corporation
I think this movie is making us realize how bad and good stuff the corporations have… For example factories lock up the works so they get focused on theier work and that’s really cruel because they get to stay there for 12 hours just working not even eating or drinking water… These corporations prefer countries that have free taxes also that mean they really don’t pay taxes and they don’t pay their workers fairly… These means that they are leading the country to be really poor… And the people who noticed that the companies leave their workers locked they will tell everyone and they wont buy their stuff and that leads the companies to a broke…

Globalization Quest
Introduction to Globalization
1. What do most people think globalization is?
“The world thinks that they’re turning into some consumer colony of America like: Coke, MacDonald’s, CNN, Levi’s, Nike’s, this hadn’t yet taken over the world…”
2. What is the real definition of globalization?
It could be the start of new products like Macdonald’s that is started in one place and the it is being spread all over the world…
3. How is “Bhangra pop” in India an example of globalization?
This sounds like it a mix from Jamaican Reggae and it’s mixed with Indian Instruments, and I think it a great example because it shows us how music of Jamaica influenced in India…
4. What is positive or good about globalization?
The good thing of Globalization is that stores that are really famous in one country later on this could be spreading around the world, also the same as culture, like: when Jamaican Reggae is mixed with Indian Instruments…
5. What is negative or bad about globalization?
• People use their money for useless things,
• People become dependent to buy things that don’t really need; due to globalization they end up feeling that they need,
6. What are indigenous people?
“Groups rooted to a particular place by history, legend, and language.”
7. What do linguists estimate is happening every two weeks due to globalization?
“Linguists estimate that every two weeks a language dies, taking with it unique ways of thinking, communicating, and living—and generations of irreplaceable knowledge.”
8. How did the images make you feel?
This pictures quite affects because thinking of us that we have modern houses clean food, but these people are suffering because for they don’t have clean water and that can produce Cholera and they don’t have any houses so they have to sleep in the cold floor…
9. What did the photographs teach you about indigenous people and/or globalization?
That the Indigenous people aren’t really wealthy as we are they also don’t really have good service or cloths to buy… and they live in places like in the forest or in the mountains and they don’t have electricity or cables so they have light…
10. In your opinion is globalization a good thing or a bad thing? Or some combination of the two? Explain.
I think is a combination of both because it has positive side and negative sides… because this factories that are around the world are polluting the world and I think they will take over the world…And these companies are abusing the peoples rights and they are not paying them fair enough…

Letter to the U.N
Dear Honorable delegates,
I call to all members from the United Nations , to try and stop Genocide in Sudan…What you should do is send peace keeping troops so they can help to stabilize the country, Also you should tell the president Omar al-Bashir to respond peacefully to these African rebel groups, as the president of Sudan he can not help the militia, that would be against the Human Rights, also what you should to do is try to avoid contact with the militia and civilians in the country, also deny the exit of these groups out of the country, because they may be causing more destruction and could be increasing the sell of weapons and drugs, as we can se the government-supported known as Janjaweed militia is continuing to murder innocent civilians, burning villages, and drive the innocent people into the desert so they can die. The Janjaweed has also started bombing the city Darfur during air raids… Moreno Ocampo will present evidence of that the President Al-Bashir crimes of Genocide before the court. So you should try to stop this because if these keeps spreading out in the country someday it would be around the world, and that would be really bad because we would die unfairly, also try to convince the president to stop genocide in his country, also send aid to the people or built a refugee camp…. So people are safe from being killed by this militia, and so the militia should try to make a peace agreement with the president and the United Nations….
PD: Please try and do your best for stopping Genocide!!!!

Genocide in Sudan
In Sudan there are people who want a piece of land, and these people are Farmers and Hurders, one groups wants to plant vegetables and fruits, and the Hurders want to put animals in this piece of land, and they way they are trying get this land is by fighting, President Omar al-Bashier is supporting the group Hurders and he is giving them money, guns, knifes etc... The Hurders are killing farmers and even innocent people that hadn't done anything wrong... This situation is really bad this can't keep going on because later on this problem would be getting worse and more people would get killed, i think this type of problems can't be resolved be violence, the President Omar al-Bashier is doing something really unfair, because he cannot support one group and not the other one... I say that the president should see how many people are being killed in his own country... I wish the United Nations could do something to stop Genocide around the world specially Sudan... I hope the people help to stop Genocide so i doesn't continue any more

Hotel Rwanda Reflection
What are the limitations of the U.N?
• They cannot shoot at people
• They can shoot but only when they are being attacked
• They can not take the people out of the country
• They can not get into a country
• If a resolution doesn’t pass they can’t do anything
Is it the world’s responsibility to stop Genocide?
Yes, because the world has to open their eyes and see what is happening in Rwanda and if they can they could help by sending money to the red cross and countries that are in U.N assembly please be aware of how many people are dying and how they are being tortured. Also send money to aid these aid these people in Rwanda. And also be aware that people in Rwanda would be really grateful about the help you are sending to them.

JMUN Reflection
What did I like about JMUN?
What made JMUN interesting was that we had the chance to debate our own ideas and give out opinions to our fellow delegates… also we had chance to know each other and discuss the topics that were important for this issue also we had chances to get allies with other countries… it was kind of hard to convince them, because we had different opinions for the problem… but we did a good job debating on our resolutions, and we had fun writing resolutions and debating them because we got the chance to speak our ideas about what we wrote. And I was kind of shy talking because I thought they were going to laugh at me, but later I felt confident that I had people who were giving me spirits so I could talk… and later I felt really comfortable and I spoke most of the time., and then we bombed Russia because we passed most of our resolution and they didn’t pass,
What did I disliked about JMUN?
What I disliked about JMUN was that the delegate of Russia, always talked about the same topic again and again, the bad thing was that he veto some of our clauses, and he also bribed us to allie with him, also that we have to wake up to early to go to JMUN and finish too late, because when I get home I am really tired ,also what I didn’t like was that some of the delegates didn’t speak and we couldn’t hear their opinion. Also we had to spend our break time on finish on our resolution… later we had to be like 1 hour debating our resolution and that was kind of annoying.
What would you do to prepare for next year?
I would write more about my conflict and I would have to study more about the Parliamentary Procedure, and I would try to speak more so I could have good grades, and practice more on the debates, about what do I have to say and the right questions to ask… also I would have to improve my a little my English so I can pronounce the hard words and also how to write them… also the delegates should speak louder so I can hear them and take notes about what there are saying…
