Morocco Revolution!


The discussion I had with my parents made me learn a lot about the Moroccan Revolution. The revolution was in communication, industrial and more. For communication, there are two brands that have been in morroco for many years, Maroc Telecom and Medital, but now during these past few years a new brand opened called Wana. Then, there is the industrial revolution. Many shops and restaurents opened here that come from america or other countries. Like Fridays, Macdonalds, Quick, Pizza Hut, Kaysan and more. For the shops there is Zara, Derb Ghalaf, and more. Also, something very impressive about the evolution of Morocco is that a Casino opened which is demonstrates the evolution of morocco since gambling is usually hram(against the religion). But yet a casino called Mazagan opened a few months ago with is a resort with a casino in it.

Reflection Paragraph on Seminar


The point that stands out as valuable for me that was made during the seminar is when we were trying to solve problems of other countries making educated advices.
We all helped move the dialog by sharing our thoughts each time we had something to say.
I don't think the seminar ever lapse in debate so the group did not have to handle this problem.
No, I would not say anyone in particular dominated to conversation.
The evidence of the people that were listening is how much they talked during the seminar and mostly their body and facial expression.
My understanding of the EQ has been affected possitivly because I learned much more things.
The things I would like to do differently next time is to sit closer to each other because on the pic nic tables we are too far away.
