The main political and economic systems of the world.MonarchyAbsolute and Constitutional Monarchy are basically the same thing. It is when a King and Queen is in power. The only difference between the two are the amount of power. Absolute Monarchy has more power than Constitutional.DemocracyDirect Democracyis the act of people making decisions as a whole. No country currently uses this. Representative Democracy is when citizens choose to let congress make laws for them, and choose a President to make choices for them based on what they believe. Ex- United States, Canada, Germany.Communism Theory started by a book Carl Mark's made, saying that the poor will one day rise up to the rich, and everyone will be equal.Capitalism is the act of people owning their own businesses with little government control. This is taking place in the US.Anarchy is a government of no government, its complete chaos. Everyone fends for themselves and this usually happens when a president dies and there is no back up. Ex- Somalia.Dictatorship is when one person rules the government. Examples would be during the Holocaust..Hitler's rein.The main differences between the major politicals parties in the US. The political parties would be the Republicans and Democrats.Republicans are conservative, they believe in the trickle-down theory, traditional things, and laisez-faire. They support lower taxes and think that people need to rely on themselves, not on the government to do things for them.Democrats are liberal and are in favor of change in society. They do not believe in the government going into one's social life.They are in favor or the government in society, and also believe in highering taxes for a better society.A few of the other differences areAbortion:Democrats- a woman has her own right, its her body. Republicans-its morally wrong, should be illegal. has to do with traditional values.Flag Burning- Democrats: for..political speech, constitutoin. Republicans: against, they think other ways would be better..constitution.Gun Control- Democrats: for, they think it is needed. Republcians- oppose gun licenses, it is in the 2nd ammendment people are free to use guns.Gay Marriage- Demorats-for, their choice. Republicans, against..man & woman. traditional way of life.Military- Democrats: cut spending. expand veteran benefits. Republicans- increase spending; cut veteran benefits.Saving the environment- Democrats: Wouldn't mind spending money more money on saving the environment. Republicans: thinks spending more money would overall hurt the economy.Healthcare- Democrats: believe everyone should be able to have healthcare. Republicans: things should be kept the way they are now with minor changes and do not believe in Universal Health Care.US on afghanistan- Democrats: believe in sending more troops to Iraq to help git-r-done. Republicans: think they should just wait it out until we finally win.Death Penalty- Democrats: there is not a bad enough crime any person can commit to be put to death themselves. Republicans: they think it will enforce laws and fully agree with it.US with the UN- Democrats and Republicans agree that we should work with the UN to make peace.Causes and Effects of Global WarmingGlobal warming, is the increase of temperature over time. Causes of Global Warming- People are the main cause of global warming..littering, pollution, packing plants, etc. We are decreasing the Ozone layer. Effects of Global Warming is ice caps melting. Green house gases our preventing our air, water, and supply that we need. Polar bears are basically dying, they have lost their habitat. Honestly, I don't really believe in it. The sun was potentially warmer than this a hundred years ago. News is putting things into our heads. and no one really knows what to do.Causes and Effects of OverpopulationOverpopulation is too many people in one place or in the world. Ultimately its not how many people, but how much effect they have on Earth. Causes of overpopulation are now doctors have better medication so babies can live through births, also less people are dying because of better medication. In third-world countries mothers have lots of babies because they think that some might die. They also think if they have more there is a better chance of some becoming rich and giving back to them sometime. In some religions it is disrespectful not to have all kids and their god says you should have as many kids as possible. Also, woman are not as good as men. So people will keep having babies until they have a lots of boys. Effects of overpopulation is using a lot on nonrenewable resources. Destroying biological diversity. Overpopulation is the mother of deforestation, extinct species, and global warming. It's basically ruining our planet. People use paper...killing the amazon. People littering....global warming.Understanding the Impact of GlobalizationThere are 3 types of globalization. 1. Countries globalizing.(A Long Time Ago) 2. Companies globalizing.(Less of a Long Time Ago) 3. Individuals globalizing.(Present). Globalizing mainly started when netscape came out. Another breaker was the falling of the Berlin wall. The "steroids" of globalization is wireless internet, video chats, skype, phones..basically being able to talk to anybody at anytime in the world with the touch of a button. Globalization has gotten rid of the aspects of knowing geography, location, time. Because of Globalization our generation will have to fight for jobs, because everyone knows exactly what you know. If you don't have a blackberry or a laptop..your behind in the world.Understanding of Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Rwanda, and Darfur.Darfur is a land inside of Sudan about the size of Texas.The sudanese government is killing black sudanese of Darfur. The sudanese government always favored the Arab. The main killing was from starvation, people were taken out of their homes, they lost food and starved. The UN didn't want to claim this as a genocide, so they didn't do anything. The government would kill the men, and rape woman and children.Steal anything they could. Al-Bashir is the leader.It is currently happening, and its just horrible.Rwanda was one of the biggest and quickest Genocides ever. It lasted 100 days and killed from 800,000 to 1 million people. It was between the Tutsis and Hutus. The Hutus were killing the Tutsis and moderate Hutus. The Hutus have always hated Tutsis because belgium favored Tutsis over Hutus. Tutsis were always better with education and business, they were taller with lighter skin. After the president got assassinated, The hutus went crazy and started a Radio Propaganda. It finally ended by the Tutsis stopping them. The hutus then moved to the Congo? and won't stop causing problems there also.Afghanistan started from 9/11...the terrorist attacks on the twin towers and the Pentagon. Al Qeada, the world-wide terrorist organization, were the ones that did it. The Government in charge was the Taliban. They are very radical and very strict towards woman. Taliban let the terrorist group practice to attack. We haven't found Osama Bin Laden yet. The Taliban is out of power, now has a democrat political systemIraq was invaded in 2003, not because of 9/11, but because we think that Sudam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. Nuclear weapons..etc. We wanted to free Kuwait from Iraq control and we did in a short period of time. Iraq were supposed to allow weapon inspectors. They kept kicking them in and out, then in..just confusing. Sudam did not let weapon inspectors back in, and thats when the UN invaded Iraq. We finally captured Hussein, and was put to death. We never did find weapons of mass destructions.Iran is a country outside of Iraq. Iraq started making and giving Iraq nuclear weapons for war.against us. They started doing this to us, because they were mad of us protecting Israel. Iran has recently been BUSTED by the US of having a nuclear program. We helped them make this in the '50s..but now we are worried they are abusing this. They claim they are using it for oil, but we think not.Somalia is a failed state. They have no government, it's horrible. It's the number one failed state on the failed state index. Most workers are only from the ages five to fourteen. The kids are usually the ones working for their family. They are younger so they can do much more. Most make about 1 to 2 dollars a day. That is hardly enough to feed a family. That is why a lot of people choose to be a terrorist. They are being bribed to get $100. Life expectancy is only about 46 years of age. That is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too young. Well,
