Political Cartoons

This cartoon seems to have two people in it, one is a large dictator like person and the other is a small defenseless person who seems to be being harassed. The larger man is strangling the smaller man and money is falling off the small man. The large man is labeled capitalism and the smaller man is labeled labor. I think cartoon was made to show how the system of capitalism seem to be taking as much money as it possibly could out of its workers. I think the cartoonists opinion on the subject is that capitalism is bad and is cheating people out of there money. I think they feel this way about capitalism because they seem to make capitalism look large and scary but the labor looks small, helpless, and in need of help. The cartoonist could have added in another character, like the form of economy they think is right maybe helping the small person out or trying to make capitalism stop shaking the labor.

Goals Feedback

My goals for this quarter were to read more to increase reading skill and vocabulary and to make some new friends with people i didn't really know before. For the first goal I have just started to work on it by reading the book "The Amulet of Samarkand" by Jonathan Stroud so I fell I still have some work to do with that gaol. My second goal I think I've done a little bit better job because in classes I am starting to branch out and work with new people I am also starting to make friends in other grades. So for the most part I feel good about my goals.

Stock Market reflection

I decided that I really liked and connected with the advice "Don't let your emotions get the best of you," so I decided that I would write about that phrase. I really felt that phrase connected with me because I really go with my emotions and usually do what they tell me to do. Now I know that this is not a good trait for the stock trade because people can get really rapped in their money and then not want to spend it. But to be successful in the stock trade you have to spend to make. Another reason you don't want your emotions to get the best of you is even if your stock yuo just bought suddenly drops it may go back up. But if you let your emotions get the best of you might get so mad you that you sell all your stock without waiting to see if it will go back up.

Industrial Revolution

Positives things about the industrial revolution are, the economies of the two main countries that caught on to the industrial revolution their economies sky rocketed . People got stable incomes instead of hoping they will sell stuff when they go to the market. Companies were able to grow at faster rates. They were also able to become much better. 

There were also some very bad things that came along with the industrial revolution. First child labor became more freak went among factories. The living conditions of workers were not very good and cities became over populated. Then the air conditions of factorized areas went from okay to really bad. Those are some goods and bads about the industrial revolution. Food mainly meat was not clean at all but was being sold on the us market. Working conditions for people became very poor.
