CCS and school summary

Capitalistic- you pay for your own school, every school is private, you decide what you want to do and there is no financial aid from the government.

Socialistic-  there are mostly public schools but some are 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 of financial aid from the government

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

Minimum Wage

I believe that minimum wage should not be raised. Huffingtonpost states that if the minimum wage gets raised to 15 dollars, families will be out of the poverty level and make more money to support their families. Which is true to a point, but if this happens the minimum wage is raised then all the goods will be raised also. Making everything inflated so there will be not much of a change. Salon.com says that it will be "good for the economy"  because with more money being made, it will mean more money into the economy and fix the government debt. Which is not true because just because the price goes up does not mean that there will be more money. All it does is raise the price on everything from food to gas to home products. I think that huffingtonpost has a point where they say that 47 million Americans live in poverty and that an increase in minimum wage will fix that. But they are not thinking about the inflation that occurs with that. As I said before the increase in minimum wage will just raise taxes and products value and actually cause more people to lose their jobs because the companies can't afford to pay the increase in minimum wage. So in conclusion raising minimum wage will not help because since the salary goes up the inflation that occurs goes up as well.

Company Book Review

My companies book was called "A Runaway Brig: or accidental cruise". In this book a group of guys  get stranded on a island and somebody steals their ship, leaving them on a broken down tug. The guys then have to get on the tug boat and have to explore it and figure things out. They find a note that tells them where they can find buried treasure. Eventually a yacht comes to rescue them off the island. I thought the highlight was when the guys are on the boat for the first time. One point that I noticed in the book was when the guys were on the boat and one guy is going around clearing the rooms and looking for anybody that could be there. I thought it was very smart that he could tell all the others where everything was and how he knew exactly where the pantry was. Another exciting part was when the enemies boarded the ship and tried to ransack it. You could tell that the guys were starting to become closer because they had to work together to fight off the enemies. Lastly another part that was my favorite was the ending. I was shocked to see them get rescued. Even after all the circumstances they went thought they were able to work together and find a way to stay alive and be rescued. 

Final Project Natural Resources

For my final I'm going to be writing about communism vs mixed! The similarities of natural resources between communism and mixed is that in communism the government totally controls most of the resources and deal it how they please. In a mixed government the people control oil, natural gas and land. But then the government controls water, timber and wild game. Some similarities are that the government controls the major resources so the people can have timber for houses and such and the people can have clean water to use for everyday life.
