Compromise

In class today we discussed about the Missouri Compromise. Willingly I wanted to extend my knowledge about this and decided to answer some reflection questions. In what situation will compromise not work? I will also give a non-negotiable situation that could happen in a teenager’s life. I’m also going to describe in both situations why compromise would not work or be the best pathway to follow.

Compromise will not work in religious beliefs. An example is when the man doesn’t give privileges to the woman: Not showing her hair, to not wear clothes that will show her feet, stomach, breast, hair, or even sometimes their face and whole body. The Missouri Compromise wouldn’t work because half of America still has slavery, and the best path way to follow is to stop slavery completely in all America.

Natural Rights- rights, freedoms and privileges which are such a basic part of human nature that they cannot be taken away.

Social Rights- An agreement among the members of an organized society or between the governed and the government defining and limiting the rights and duties of each.

Rights of Revolution- a right or duty, variously stated throughout history, possessed by subjects of a state that justifies their action to overthrow the government to whom the subjects otherwise would owe allegiance.

Popular Sovereignty- a doctrine in political theory that government is created by and subject to the will of the people.

Self Determination- free choice of one’s own acts without external compulsion; and especially as the freedom of the people of a given territory to determine their own political status.

I put these terms in order which means Natural Rights come first. Natural Rights are the most important because it is the freedom of human. Humans are aloud to be free and not be owned and work for free without willing of. Social rights are also important or else their will be total chaos in the world.

Morocco? Migration?

Hello blog readers. It has been a long time I didn't due to technology problems. NVM what counts is that I am back and that you guys behind your screen may read about what I will write about. Today I wanted to write a little about Morocco which is my country. More accurately these following questions: What are different reasons why Moroccans migrate away from Morocco? And who is migrating to Morocco? Why?

• What are different reasons why Moroccans migrate away from Morocco?

Different reasons why Moroccans migrate away from Morocco are that some Moroccans are poor and even without money they try to migrate illegally because in other countries they will be treated differently(that’s what they think)! Other people migrate away because they need to finish their studies. Other people from the middle class who enough money to live, migrate to find better jobs. People also migrate away to have the nationality of other countries. Having a different nationality leads them to more privileges like going back and forth between the two countries.

• Who is migrating to Morocco and Why?

People who are migrating to morocco come usually to retire and have a cheap and good life. Some other people come for jobs of high class because morocco is a developing country and people who have good jobs their make a lot of money. Some worker of mutli-national enterprises come to live for three or four years because there job obligates them to.

Thank you for listening to what I had to say. :)
