Analyzing the government aspect of both a communistic and mixed society.

Communistic
-control all aspects of human needs
-healthcare, retirement, housing, food and everyday needs...
-no taxes: they only give their people what they need and take the rest of it
-maintain natural resources
-trying to elect a new president almost destroys the society every time

Mixed Society
-higher taxes: government takes the money out of your paycheck then gives the people the rest
-individuals decide personal needs and must provide their own food, gas, housing, etc.
-control most natural resources and deals with the trade of other countries
-allows multiple companies to compete for the peoples money in healthcare, insurance, car and product maintenance and buying, etc.
-the people choose their next president through campaigns and elections

I'm going to compare and contrast communism and a mixed economy. More specifically I am going to analyze China versus the United States.
Differences
use of natural resources
-US controls what's on federal land
-China controls everything
2.  Schools
- mixed creates opportunities and sets guidelines in general schooling then has a capitalistic view for higher education
-communism sets you were they think you are the best and that's it
3. Lifestyle
-mixed has opportunities for you to increase your wealth but you must provide for yourself and family
-communism has guidelines that they have that determine how much milk, gas, food, etc. your amount of family members gets

Obstacles went from being hurdles to the Himalayas in a matter of one week. During the month of December Megan and I wanted to have a model of our invention completed. We both went to talk to Mrs. Laplante and got a good idea of what we wanted the model to look like. It included a syringe, tubes, pockets, and the main brace (just a velcro wraparound) that would adjust to the patient. At the beginning of the month it soon became clear that neither one of us had the resources, or the money, to create a real life model. So I went back to Mrs. Laplante to ask for advice. Basketball kept Megan from joining in on some of these activities. So when I went to Mrs. Laplante she recommended this website autodesk.com that let's you download software for free that you can use to create your invention depending on your need. After thanking her I tried the website and got signed in; when I tried to download the software it would tell me I needed an activation code that was sent to my email. After trying that it would continue to loop that process asking me to sign in again and then give me a new activation code. By that time is was break and I didn't bother with it anymore considering it would continue to do the same thing. If we can continue our projects after break I will go back to Mrs. Laplante and ask for her advice. Our project should be evaluated by what has been accomplished. All considering the idea, the need, the design, and the distribution. We have been through the idea, the need, and the design multiple times changing the product because of new thoughts or ideas. Because of that, we didn't get to making of our idea or the plan of distribution. Overall considering our timeline with sports and the changing of ideas I believe we did what could be expected with having a solid idea, evaluating the need, getting the design on paper (and whiteboard), and trying multiple ways to get our 3-d design made. I strongly believe if we continued on with our idea, we eventually could have a product available to doctors and surgeons across the state and with potential for more.

School systems in communism, socialism, and capitalism differ and relate in a number of ways. In a communistic school they provide equal rights to every student and equal pay to every district depending on their needs. The "higher authority" determines the path and the classes of the students, so even though a child may want to pursue a career in a field that isn't their strong point they don't have that choice. In a capitalistic system their schools are almost entirely based off of competition and personal wealth. If you are born into money you have great opportunities to get into a nice school and college and connections in the wealthy business world. If you are born into a poor family you can work yourself up to pay for schooling, but it is a ton of dedication to hard work. You are most likely to be put into the labor force still, since you don't have the background or connections to get the high office jobs. In a socialistic school community you get equal opportunity to go to school like a communistic system, but you also have a chance of getting into a private school like a capitalistic system.

Raising minimum wage by almost doubling what it is now seems ridiculous to me. It would barely affect big corporations, but it would almost wipe out the idea of small business and teenagers getting jobs. "Attempts to simply mandate that businesses pay more, through increased minimum wages or living wage laws, as well as attempts to mandate employee benefits like health insurance, primarily result in fewer jobs. (Source D)" College students would be screwed over because they wouldn't be able to get a job before college and it would be very difficult to get a job in college. "Most Republicans will oppose it, on the grounds that higher labor costs will lead to higher unemployment. (Source C)” Looking at my future I wouldn't see a problem with raising the minimum wage a dollar or two, but trying to double it basically cancels any job I would like to acquire in the near future. "Mall employers, farmers, lots of occupations are exempt from the minimum wage. The last time we raised the minimum wage the percentage earning less than the minimum wage rose to 4.2 percent of the wage and salary workers - three million. (Source B)"I vote for not raising the minimum wage to fifteen dollars from seven fifty an hour. "Doing something that will raise unemployment isn't going to help poverty. People who can't get work at 5.15 an hour aren't going to find work at 7.25 an hour. (Source B)" "Indeed, evidence of employment losses goes all the way back to 1938 and first federally imposed minimum wage. The U.S. Department of Labor concluded that that first 25-cent minimum wage resulted in the loss of 30,000 to 50,000 jobs, or 10 to 13 percent of the 300,000 workers affected by the increase.
