what is a progressive thinker.

Nowadays, the country of Morocco is facing a few social issues that will probably will be solved threw out the years. The main cause of this issue is the lack of education. The reason that the lack of education is a part of our society is not because the government is not giving the opportunity to people who do not have enough money but because some of the people with a low income prefer using their children for them to work either in their own farms in order for them to produce more goods or for they take them the city and make them work illegally. Generally this issue is mostly in rural areas. In view of the fact that the parents do not go to school, they are not aware of the importance of education in a childs life. In some of the cases the children are mistreated or set to do things no child on earth would want to do, thus they escape or some are orphans and do not have any family members so they end up on the streets. 
A political issue that has been lasting for many years. About 35 years ago, the Sahara (which is entirly Moroccan) has been a freed by the Spanish which has been occupying the Sahara for many years finally freed it after the green march which was held by the the king Hasan II. Even though, the Sahara was freed by these invaders, Algeria and Spain are still fighting for the Sahara. even though this issue is being discused  in united nations and the interational court of justice in the Hague has called it a part of Morocco, this coutries are still fighting for the Sahara. All this fighting is for the honor and the fossil fuels that have been discovered there. For me it is non sense fighting

Imperialism


After using the Princeton dictionary, the clearest answer they had given was “policy of extending your rule over foreign countries”. The American imperialism had its pros and cons which i will discuss. The major benefit was that with the help of the U.S.A the other country would have an economic uplift. For example, the Panama Canal helped firstly with the economy, also the transportation was more common and it also lead to the independence of Cuba, Panama and Philippines. Because of the imperialism, the United States was the worlds most powerful country which helped the rest of the work with many things such as, The Worlds economy due to many factors. Moreover, the United States helped many other under developed countries to develop however, the U.S was not the only country to do that France, england, and many more european countries were doing that and Today we as Moroccans are effected by the way that France has helped us in many ways and lead us to where we are today.To me one of the main Cons to this system is when a country has no freedom and are entirely controled by the United States, thus they do not have a say. Furthermore, I think that imperialism has more cons and that strongly developed countries should continue using this system with no violanc like the United states is doing today to Irak. in additon to this the loss of culture is very bad because the nation does not know who they are andy more and where they come from. Also it would be better if it is with the consentment of the country that is concerned and if it is changed more into a contract, or pact between the two nations.
