Governments role

In communism the government doesn't have much that they don't control. The decide what you get in your pay check and decide what hours you work. They take your paycheck and take out everything they want and give you what they think you need, and they don't show you how much they take out or how much you could have made. The government officials are chosen by who the leader chooses and usually they are close friends or relatives. Health care isn't something that can be disputed against you have what they give you, and you only get that specific healthcare.

In a mixed economy the government only controls what they own such as land and the things on that land. Depending on what they own is what they can only control. They tax but they take out the taxes after you get your paycheck to see what you earned before and show that they only take what they need. And you get the rest. The government officials are chosen through voting and seeing who the people want more. The health care system is what you want and what you can pay for.

20% December Edition ;P

Evaluate progress?
I evaluate my progress by how much I get done and how many people view my video on YouTube.


Accomplished this month?
This month I have uploaded the video to YouTube and am working on typing out everything that is said in the video and put pictures with the video so if you can't hear everything that is said you can read it and you can see what and the locations we are talking about.


Obstacles in way or overcome?
They didn't want to be seen on video and didn't want last names or names on the video or mentioned on the internet. So I had to make up names, and have no visual during the video. I have to figure out how to put pictures on the video so they can be seen.

Schools

Capitalism is an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state. (ex. U.S. and Western Europe).

Communism is a political theory derived from Karl Marx advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs. (ex. China, Cuba, Laos, North Korea, and Vietnam) Communism is a classless, moneyless, and ideology system used to establish social order.

Socialism is a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole. (ex. Socialism, true Socialism, professes that the government own and run everything. Ideally, the people of the Socialist country would make the decisions.

Schools in socialism and in communism would not be public they would have a more private environment.  Yet in communism if you weren't born in a specific way or weren't very smart then you wouldn't go to school you would go to work instead.

Schools in capitalism you would have public schools and have choice of where you wanted to go and what you wanted to be.

My Final

I chose to do communism vs. mixed economy.

Communism aims to create a classless, moneyless, and stateless social structured upon common ownership of the means of production. They also have a social, political, and economic ideology that aims at the establishment of this social order.

Mixed economy is an economic system in which trade, industry and the means of production are controlled by private owners with the goal of making profits in a market economy.

Mixed economy has classes while communism does not.

For December 20%

I am almost finished with my video and plan on having it uploaded to YouTube before the new year. When I'm finished ill update this post and add on the video link. I'm also going to type of everything that was said because some parts are very hard to hear.

Book Report

In our company we read a book called The Financial Marketing Concept. This book was a tool to teach people about the market and how we use the market to help and to apply it to our lives so we can make money. This book also teaches us how to make the market work for us. How the market works and what different types of things there are in the market. For example the book told us about what strong EMH and weak EMH is. Strong EMH is when the market is doing really well and inside dealers come in and make the price of that share higher in cost by buying the share. Semi-strong EMH is public information that is shown in the market place. Weak EMH is when there is nothing to compare the "wins" to. Weak EMH has virtually no background so you can't predict the "next" step, or the next thing that's going to happen. 

Learning the Ways

This past Wednesday I went to the Heartland and got the chance to interview two lovely residents. They talked of their many experiences, and about what their lives held. They both lived during the toughest times in our country and both felt very disrespected as elderly. "A lot of people in other cultures respect their elderly. Yet in our culture I feel like I'm treated like I'm dumb and useless, when really I've lived through so many magical things. Yet, no one will take the time to acknowledge those things." Hearing that made me realize, that is SO true. How often do you hear that old people are very intelligent? Compared to how often you hear that they are very stupid? I want to make that change, and I know it won't be easy. I do believe that it needs to change because watching people suffer and not feel comfortable sharing their MANY experiences, is very, very depressing.
