Capitalistic- you pay for your own schooling, every school is private, no financial aid form the government you have to pay for it all your sled and you decide what you want to do.

Socialistic- mostly public schools but there are some private. The public schools are free to attend, you decide what kind of a career you want to have and you can get quite a bit if financial aid from the government

Communistic- all schools are public, the government decides what kind of career you would do best and you are forced to do that line of work

All of these kinds of government will get you ready to go into the work force

Runaway brig

The book runaway brig is about someone who goes out with his friends when he wasn't suppose to and they find a old ship and they start to explore it. Then someone steals their ship leaving them with a broke down ship. After they find a note that tells them where the hidden treasure is and soon the Yaht comes and rescues them. The high light of the book is when he leaves his little sister when he shouldn't have and he thought he would be back in time but he obviously wasn't that showed that you should listen to your mother and it will keep you out of  trouble. But I also liked that they stayed together through the whole thing.

Minimum wage

Minimum wage should be raised.  Raising the minimum wage would help people who arnt making enough make more. With it being raised it would help out with the unemployment also with that taxes would go down. Also for young or unskilled workers it would be a lot easier because they know what they are going to get and don't have to nogociate a starting wage. "Without a minimum wage, it can be difficult for small businesses to budget their money. With a minimum wage in place, a small business owner knows what he will be expected to pay per hour and he can create new jobs with his company based on this budgeting information." "Raising the minimum wage will raise the wages of all bottom tier workers providing them with more purchasing power, increasing the demand for goods and services and ultimately leading to more jobs. Lack of demand has been holding this recovery back, and, inarguably, higher wages would help stimulate it." "Raising the minimum wage would start to solve this poverty problem. However, there are two things to take into consideration." "With minimum wage, the need for public assistance is lowered and this reduces the tax burden on the community and the state."

Stocks

Stocks: A stock is a share in a company that is traded. You can invest in different kinds of stocks like trades or investments. I can give my money to stockbrokers and tell them witch companies I want to buy a stock in and they will buy it. Stocks go up and down a lot and you don't want to buy a stock when you have emotional feelings for it. Its also a way for big companies to get money.

Dividonds: They are when companies will give you money when you buy some of their stocks.

Trade: Long term and will continue to go up in value. You don't want to buy a trade with emotions attached and set a time period to when you are going to sell it and follow it. Trades go up and down a lot and so you want to buy a trade in something that you know is going to keep going up in value ex: Apple or google

Catalyst: When you know a big event is going to happen and so you buy a trade or investment.

20% project

In the month of November I found out that why people can't bring animals to school cause of allergies and insurance issues. In December I'm wanting to work with the school and see if maybe one day I could bring a pet in and do walk the pods with it to introduce them. With that I would like to expand it to maybe once a day and see what I would have to do to get pets involved in school.

Price for lemonade stand

       It would cost me 16 cents to make one cup of lemonade. Variables are the thing that can change like the price of cups, lemons, ice, and sugar also the weather is constantly changing. You can change the price of a cup of lemonade also you can change the amout of sugar, ice snd lemons you put in the lemonade. 

A constant is something that never changes like the cup no matter what you always use one cup. 

Perishable Itams are ice and lemons and sugar because they all can go bad over time, like the lemons will spoil, sugar could get bugs in it and the ice will melt 

Taxes

My company is in Mexico City.

46,800-780=46,020*.2.5=115.05
46,020-1150.5=44,869.5
46,800*.05=2,340/3=780

Goals

My goal is to have at least one day during the school year where teachers or one student bring a pet to school. It might help with all the stress school brings us. And if that was a success then maybe we could have a class dog in one classroom.

Investment and Trade

I bought Toyota as an investment because always seems to be going up a little bit. They are a very solid investment I feel. They will go up 3 dollars in the next few days because they are started to sell more and people are findings out that they have very good trucks. I bought AGL Resources as a trade because they are going to go up I the next couple days by 3 dollars because of the increase of demand.

BlackJack

We played jack black and at first we weren't sure what to do really, it was my first time ever playing so I was super confused. But after a few rounds I started understanding it and it was a complete gamble I figured. It seemed like you could lose a lot but I started to win and I liked it. It would have been a little better if we knew how to play before we played but it was still pretty fun. I found that it was better to be safe then to just hope you win. Overall it was a great experience.

The different between an investment and trade

A trade is short term (less then 6 months) and you want to know a catalyst is going to happen. Example: If the Apple stock went down and you know there is going to be a catalyst, like the new iPad coming out and you know the stocks will go up again, then that would be a good trade to get. If you buy a trade and know something is going to happen then you can either wait or buy more. Say you bought a stock at a good price and the price goes down and you know that it was a good trade you might want to buy more, but if not then you should just wait. When the event happens you need to decide when you want to sell and sell it then. If you keep waiting then you get emotionally attached and that's very bad, you usually don't make smart choices if you are emotionally attached. If you wait on your trade, if it goes down around 15% you should buy more, if you have the money, and if the catalyst hasn't happened yet. So then when you think its time to sell you most likely will make more money.

A investment is a long term (more than 6 months) and you think its a good company and know that it will keep growing over time, you don't need to know if a catalyst is going to happen or not. A dividend is when a company gives you money for being invested in them for a long time. The main goal you want to achieve is get the amount of money out as you put in. So once you get your money back you are really using their money. You want to keep waiting and not buy until you get your money back, once that happens you can buy a little at a time. Once it geos down 15% or whatever percent you decide, then you want to buy, if you want to and have the money. If you don't have enough money then you don't want to buy more and want to just wait. But you need to make sure you don't get emotionally attached, being attached could cause you to want to wait longer and longer and soon you would have waited too long and wont get you money back that you could have.

Candy Activity

We all met out in the hall and Mr. Kapptie told us to do what we thought was right. Giving us no real instructions we all entered the room at the same time. It was dark with two videos playing, looked like one was the stock market and the other one I wasn't sure. There was all kinds of different candy laying around the room, along with Monopoly money. Not sure on what I was suppose to do I started collecting candy, but then I seen there was 500 dollar Monopoly money laying around. So I quickly started picking up all then 500s and collecting all the candy I could. After piling it up on a table, we were told that we could go around the room to other people and trade or buy candy and candy was like stocks, some candy was worth more than others. At first I had absolutely no idea what was going on. I hardly had any candy but had a lot of money, I could see that some people understood what to do but I just stood there for a few minutes not sure on what to do. I decided I should get some more candy so I went around the room and tried to get at least two candies of each kind. Every two minutes there was a announcement and then the stocks would change, I got a hint from Mr. Kapptie that the tootsie roll pop would take a big leap, so I went around and collected a lot of  them, at the time they were pretty cheep. Later I'm I found out that his hint was very right. Some of the candy went down in prices and people were trying to get rid of it. My plan was to get a little bit of each candy and then save my money witch turns out to be a good tactic. It was intense and very interesting, with everything happening at once and not having any real instruction on what to do, it really showed that we knew how or learn while doing and think on our feet. At the end people knew what to look for and trade so people were really knowing how to play the market. At the end I ended up with the most money over all, it might have been cause I got a lot of money to begin with but also I had good candy so it helped. Overall it was a good experience and I really enjoyed it.

20% project

My project is getting animals into schools to reduce stress during testing and just using them to learn better. In September I looked up why there isn't animals in schools and found the advantages of having them. I also found out a lot of hospitals now include pet visits now. In October I plan on asking if we could arrange a day that a pet could visit or a day a teacher could bring there pets
