Wrap up by Fady Medhat https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67 What do you think of the documentary so far? What is one thing that you have learned? What would you like to learn for your final week at school? en-us 2022-06-06 12:18:00 UTC 2022-06-07 19:23:43 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f60e.png Marcela collante https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212158584 The documentary we watch was about capitalism it is called "capitalism a love story" and it tell us and teach us lots of things that in many aspects have great impact and in many others it doesn't. I would like to give my point of view and for me I really didn't like what it was said of capitalism. Capitalism rules the world, you earn what you produce, that's the reason why for example Lionel Messi has a millionaire salarie and a doctor a very modest amount of money, because only in capitalism a person can produce entertainment that every person earns something, socialism is a utopia that everyone has the same and it's impossible that everyone lives a very good life depending on what they produce, even Russia when the Soviet union collapse it became capitalist and was am economic miracle. The documentary show us that capitalism is the worst thing ever, literally, that capitalism is cruel, evil, it has a bad ideology and how democracy was ruined by capitalsm. I would like to learn more about the reality of capitalism, the true of it (the real background of it.)

I know capitalism is not the best economic system and have its pros and cons but even though is a good economic system. The documentary make us see that Capitalism is bad, it has a wrong practice and is evil. Some of the things said in the documentary:
- There is no middle class
- Free to make a profit
- Radically evil (capitalism)
- Propaganda has extended capitalism life persuading people
- Capitalism ruined democracy
- How money is everything

Something that I learned from this documentary could be the influences that capitalism model used by corporates and how they are seen from low and middle class, to the high power ramifications that command the country. 

For my final week at school, I would like to learn about everyday economics; such as how to do taxes, how to manage debt, or how to apply for loans.  ]]> 2022-06-06 12:44:07 UTC https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212160726 Raúl Salcedo https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212161084 At the beginning capitalism seemed as a beautiful and prosperous system for the economic of the US. With help of capitalism and advantages gain after a series of war, the US achieved an incredible industrialization and gaining. But when Ronald Reagan became the US president everything that had achieved propeserity for US went to dust. With this Wall street had direct access to control the taxes as they wanted decreasing taxes for the wealthy and there was a huge dismantling of the system just for some to earn short term profits from it. Since teh system changed but was still called capitalism many companies went bankrupt causing a huge loss of jobs all around the US. And when the time arrived Japan and Germany took advantage of the absence of the US and gain an economical advantage over them. In my humble opinion, capitalism at its transparent form is actually a good system but due to many people that just wanted more the system went corrupt and it started cauing more problems and less solutions. ]]> 2022-06-06 12:44:33 UTC https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212161084 Danna Atehortua https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212161395 I think that the document is a little close minded since it only sees the negative side of capitalism when truely capitalisim really help many countries in a period of time when socialism wasn't helping the country's economy. On the other hand, I do agree in some negative aspects they mentioned, like the lack of empathy.

I learned that in capitalism time is money, you need to know how to use your time to earn lots of money.

For my final week I would like to learn more about Russia and its deep secrets. ]]> 2022-06-06 12:44:48 UTC https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212161395 Ashley Amaya ashley_amaya_puentes https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212163219 1. This documentary has seemed interesting to me since it reflects capitalism both in politics and government as well as in the people, showing its effects and consequences.

2. I learned that capitalism is a system that largely affects the middle class people, but that it greatly favors the upper class since it provides benefits to it.

3. In my last week at school I would like to learn a bit about inflation and currency devaluation as it is something that is happening right now and I can't understand how it works and how it affects the world.]]> 2022-06-06 12:46:49 UTC https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212163219 CARLOS DE LA ROSA carlos_delarosa_echeverria https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212163698 1.  The documentary is very interesting, in the documentary we can see the two faces of capitalism, the dark side mainly. Is very disappointing that the levels of greed of certain people part of the 1% have this level of immorality just to rise their profit. 

Getting money from the death of employees

Stoling people houses

Making and excess of work for employees by firing anothers

Make the pharmaceutical companies rich by "making people sad and worse life conditions" and then selling antidepressants

And other diverse methods to make a bad will to society and satisfy rich people will.

2. I just learn about the cases, i can't do any assumptions yet, i need to see more of the documentary.

3. I know this is not completely related to economics, but i consider it have a little bit of connection when we are talking about start-ups and building a business process. I'm talking about soft skills, i would like to learn about leadership, teamwork, time management and networking.

This movie starts with a comparison of the US and the Roman Empire which shows the start of capitalism and how these systems have changed over time due to corruption and how it is leading the world into bankruptcy. It also shows some alternatives to try and help the current economic crisis that is happening on a global scale. I learned more about how the working class is affected tremendously by capitalism. I don't want to learn anything this final week, I want to relax. ]]> 2022-06-06 12:50:40 UTC https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212167091 What do you think of the documentary so far? The documentary we watch as about capitalism, it tell us some facts about it. I didn't like it because it was not dynamic, this type of classes sometimes are boring. I consider that we earn what we produce, that is how the world functions, sometimes this is bad because many people do not have opportunities. I would like to learn about real capitalism. https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212167293 2022-06-06 12:50:52 UTC https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212167293 Manuela Perez https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212167402 The United States achieved great industrialisation and growth with the support of capitalism and advantages gained during a series of wars. When Ronald Reagan became president of the United States, however, everything that had brought the country to prominence vanished. With this, Wall Street had direct power over taxation, since they want lower taxes for the affluent and a massive destruction of the system for a few to profit from it in the near term. Since the system evolved but was still referred to as capitalism, many businesses have gone bankrupt, resulting in a massive loss of employment across the United States. When the time came, Japan and Germany took advantage of the United States' absence to obtain a competitive economic edge over them. ]]> 2022-06-06 12:50:58 UTC https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212167402 Ernesto Serna ernestoserna1 https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212170105 So far I am very interested in the ideas showed throughout the documentary, even though my body during class has other ideas (sleeping). Whenever I’m not exhausted and overly tired, I consider these ideas and try to picture them as true as if trying to figure out how much sense they make in my brain. I have learned that it’s all about the story behind the story, that our history as humans and our ancient government organizations influence today’s politics (Ancient Rome specifically), and how the disparity between rich and poor will ultimate lead into the fall of economy as we know it. I have learned that Capitalism, or at least it’s supposed purest form in the States’ Capitalism, does not care about the middle class trumps the definition of Democracy, revolves around gainings tons of income and paying 🤬 wages, and profiting from misfortunes like death. I am sadly not going to be around for the final week of class but if I was, would have loved to learn about how to pay my bills because I find it useless to know what is a monopolistic competitive graph and how to find the consumers surplus on it, than how to actually pay my bills and avoid getting robbed and stomped on.]]> 2022-06-06 12:53:32 UTC https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212170105 https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212170377 The documentary that we watched was called "Capitalism: A Love Story" and as the title can show us is about capitalism, and informs us about the not previously shown "bad" side of capitalism, in which all the different things that have been told to us about this system falls apart. I believe that this documentary has been catching my attention, with all it's different stories being told and how they are told. Also, statistics presented are pretty clear and informative which I really appreciate because in various documentaries that I have watched they just fill you with information but you don't understand any of it. I have learned in this documentary that the fairy tales that have been told to the world about capitalism are mostly false. I would like to learn important things of the economy that I need to know in order to not crash my self into a wall in my adult life.

It refers to capitalism as a system of giving and taking. It shows different stories in which people have been affected by this system, in mainly negative ways. It says that at first, it was a good system, but later on, with the deregulation, it converted into a system only a few people could enjoy. It many focuses on middle-class citizens who have faced problems with their properties, their jobs have been taken, and others. In my opinion, capitalism is a good system, but just like any other system, it has bad and good things. It is always good to see this type of thing from another perspective, but it didn't change my opinion about capitalism. 

I learned about how the capitalist system in America became unregulated. Also saw the perspective of the low and middle class respecting capitalism. This is a system from which the upper class mainly benefits from it. 

This final week I want to learn about economic inequality.

What I could see throughout this documentary is that capitalism is greatly criticized, and they make it look like something extremely perverse. But like all economic systems, each one has its advantages and disadvantages, however during the documentary they emphasize their disadvantages.

I would like next time to learn a little more in depth about capitalism and what its advantages are, and what the world would look like if another economic system prevailed.]]> 2022-06-06 13:00:06 UTC https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212177653 Sebastian Rodriguez https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212189053 The documentary watched in class was a great way to know “both sides of the story” about capitalism in society. This documentary showed us that there is not a better political system, since each one of them have pros and cons. The constant debate between individuals arguing about which political system is the best for managing a country, leaves the uncertainty about if a political system placed in a society is really that “good” or “bad” as it seems. I learned that any political system can be corrupted for an egoist motive, benefiting a small group of individuals but injuring the rest in some way. I would like to learn in my final week at school about the impacts of capitalism and communism in middle class society.]]> 2022-06-06 13:10:31 UTC https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212189053 Juanita Alvarez - Capitalism: A Love Story https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212190393 The documentary we watched talked about capitalism through the years in the U.S. It showed its ups and downs, and how capitalism is expected to benefit those who live ruled by it.

I think the documentary gives us something to learn based on the many point of views from various citizens. It showed us how the  the poverty-level wages of many workers,  the large wave of home foreclosures, corporate-owned life insurance and much more. It is sad how many citizens believed they had a perfect life through capitalism, but it all went downhill.

I learned that the documentary demonstrates that capitalism in America is a bad thing that should be replaced with democracy. Because of the financial sacrifices made by citizens for free enterprise, Michael Moore argues that advancing capitalism would ruin the economy.

For my final week at school, I would like to learn about everyday finance, such as money management, taxes, etc.]]> 2022-06-06 13:11:46 UTC https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212190393 Santiago Sanchez santiago_sanchez_meza https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212191322 In my opinion, the documentary criticized the capitalist model that it is applied today in which multiple companies and corporations have complete freedom to use any methods that they want in order to gain profits, it is shown how these ones make use of different tactics that may be seen as unethical or evil to achieve the previous goal. Besides, it shows how these businesses use their power and money to influence governments projects, laws and it marks the beginning of Ronald Reagan presidency as the emergence of this practice.

Something that I learned from this documentary is the existence of different techniques that can be morally questionable such as the dead peasant insurance that are used by businesses to gain profits.

Something that I would like to learn in the final week at school would be the disadvantages of the socialist model used today.

i would like to learn more about what is is being talked in the documentarhy because for me is learning about not only economy but also the society and that aspect is very important and is an interest for me.]]> 2022-06-06 16:05:18 UTC https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212394903 Inequality for all juan_zuniga_suarez https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212398354 The documentary we had the opportunity to watch shows the immense wage gap that there is between rich people and middle/low classes. The documentary overall shows the causes and consequences of this problem, in which we are able to see that from 1970's and on the economic growth and income increase paths parted, while before both grew at the same rate, from late 1970's and on this wasn't the same. The documentary also shows how this wage and social gap affects the market in terms of labor, prices, demand, supply, etc. Making us very conscious about how this problem caused by economical systems impacts society as a whole. 

From the documentary I was able to learn how inequality impacts society not only socially and politically but also economically, and that money in many parts of the world is distributed in a way that there's no balance, for example in the US the 400 richest people together are wealthier than the rest of the US population all together. 

Finally, in this last week of class I would like to learn about international commerce, it's a topic that interests me a lot and I have very little knowledge about.]]> 2022-06-06 16:08:02 UTC https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212398354 Juliana Delgado https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212398372 The documentary we were watching is called Inequality for all. It shows how inequality impacts the market in terms of labor and income and it gives us an insight of how this affects the American population. It is stated that in order to reduce inequality, there needs to be a strong middle class, one in which the labor and the pay are coherent instead of raising labor expectancies and having the same salaries over the years. It also mentions that a problem that stops the middle class from growing is the fact that wealth is accumulated among the richest people and they do not invest in their own people, but choose to increase their wealth. This taught me that not investing in domestic products ultimately affects labor because people that have the most money are spending too little and people with lower incomes are spending a lot of their salaries. This affects labor because not enough demand is being reached, therefore not enough workforce is present. This tackles the idea that wealthy people having companies generates jobs. I would like to learn how having the biggest lower class in comparison to the 1% that keeps the majority of the wealth affect the market and how different political parties could solve the problem of the middle class while still having space for entrepreneurship and private property.]]> 2022-06-06 16:08:04 UTC https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212398372 Sofia Barrios sofia_barrios_luna https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212399225 Inequality for all so far has shown us the gaps that taxes and low-wealth countries (especially the  USA) have created, and demonstrates how people from the middle class have been affected. It mentions the excess of taxes, and begins to suspect the government about who the rules benefit. Does it benefit everyone or just rich people? I’ve learned from the documentary that the middle class is the center of the universe, and it is the famous people that are spinning around them. Furthermore, it is globalization and technology that have influenced the growth of inequality. Besides, I like that we see a good example of a good economy with low taxes: US after WW2 as it reduced inequality. As a result there was a quality society and education; tax revenue decreased; and better government investment was presented. It was a complete prosperity.

I think that so far the documentary has been really good. It has very clear and concise criticisms of the inequalities. I  liked the various points of view presented by different types of people; the different points of view help to get a better picture of the situation. 

One of the things I have learned so far is that it is extremely difficult to move from poverty when you are born into it, especially in the US. For example, 42% of children that are born in poverty will not get out of it, while in other countries this percentage is much lower. It shows that even though people nowadays may be working harder and harder they are not getting any further. It is devastating to see this from one if not the most powerful country, the US does not seem to care about this inequality when it is a very important matter.

I will want to learn about finance but in a way that can be used in everyday situations, like taking costs of products or creating budgets. ]]> 2022-06-06 16:10:32 UTC https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212401554 Francesco Paternostro https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212403753 This documentary for me shows one of the biggest problems of capitalism that is labor exploitation, and this is one of the causes of why socialism is created. The owner of the company keeps expanding its patrimony and the workers are unable of growing more than they are, this probably is because of their income is so similar to their expenses and this don’t let the economy to work better, the working class is the one that needs to consume the most for companies to prosper and this would generate more employment, so if a country have a good working class capable of consuming then they can have more employment with a better education (because of paying more taxes) and a better future with opportunities. This is why for me a good capitalism is in where there is not labor exploitation and workers gain what they deserve for them to spend more.]]> 2022-06-06 16:12:30 UTC https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212403753 Juan Zabaleta https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212405618 I think this documentary is great, an ver =y helpful for people and specially to those that want to study economics and understand how those economy function

I have learned a lot of this documentary, and understand that economy is not such as difficult as people imagine and that the system is bad, be cause it have no sense taht middle class people pay higher taxes tahn super wealth people i consider taht they should be equal, and thing like this causes that people need to work extra hours or having 2 jobs to survive

What is one thing that you have learned? What would you like to learn for your final week at school?

What i have learn from the documentary is how the economy should work for everyone and how the rich seem to manage their money and how they see the other economic class that is under them in the economic pyramid, how the documentary tells that the main pillar of the economy is the media class that is the one that invests more in all the projects, the sustainable economy we are losing every day because the unemployment, it's really interesting how they show the factors that affect the economy and the difference of monetary gain in the economic class.

i would like to learn more about which are the factors that affect the economy deeply, and how the rich manage their investments. ]]> 2022-06-06 16:14:29 UTC https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212405977 Sofia Pereira https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212406322 So far I’ve liked the documentary is interesting how everything is explained by graphic illustrations, especially the bridge where it shows the comparison of the incomes through the years. 

I learned in the documentary that there’s an unequal distribution of income in the USA, where 400 wealthy people have more income than half of the population in the country.  Also, in order to solve this economic instability, there should be a solid middle class.  

I would like to learn about more countries that have this economic instability as a cause of inequality. ]]> 2022-06-06 16:14:50 UTC https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212406322 Sofia Segrera https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212407276 The documentary we saw  was "Inequality for all" . The documentary is like a personal perspective of a professor talking about how the USSA has one of the biggest inequality even though it is a country that it is supposed to be a guide example. First of all I want to say that, in my opinion, it is a good film to watch just to take an example that we need to explore different systems to decide whether it is good for a country or not. Reich’s Berkeley, tells us that inequality is inevitable in capitalism; he starts using data to show off how the United States has regressed under the years and also states that in 2012 the four richest people in America had more wealth than half of the nation. In addition, we can compare this with Colombia as the quote said “the rich get richer and poor get poorer” this means that the government is taking advantage of the low class communities and not giving them proper education nor work. Also, the professor state that economy is sustain by the middle class however they have experience downhills over the years.On the other hand,  what I learned in from this documentary is that many time does who call themselves “job creators'' are just trying to create and status for themselves; however the real creators are the one who really works, for a prosper economic there need to be investment in the poor and middle class. Finally, I want to learn about how exchange and mortality have a relationship with economics.

I learn about rich, middle class, and poor. I learn that in prosper countries the class that is the more is the middle class. This is beacause they are the consumer class, and they make the economy flow.
One thing that I have learned is to work in teams. While working in teams so far in this year I have study my skills working in teams being better on it, like for respecting the opinions of my classmates, explaining them the topic if they don't understand. 
I will like to learn more about teamwork, like making activities, they can be games, that will make us work as a team, all the members for the same cause being together, this will make know our teamates better, and it will make us to comunicate better between us.]]> 2022-06-06 16:15:57 UTC https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212407586 Santiago Ovalle. santiago_ovalle_villadiego https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212409652 Wonderful documentary, inequality is a real problem that only reduce for economic inequality, but also for example we have gender and race inequality. We see how inequality affect the life quality of a big chunk of the population. Is establish that a capitalistic society need a middle class, they move economy. Still, when your inequality increase and the middle class become more poor, you stop economic movements, close opportunities, create slaves, miserable people that believe that they "live well". This may lead to weak middle class and as a consecuence a economic crash. Basically to evit this you need to guarantee that wages grow at same rhythm with productivity. I like the last part where they show how technology convert our middle class weaker and life more expensive. My conclusion: our humanity essence, grow smaller with each day that pass.

I enjoy this year, mister you  gave me several  valuable tips, recommendations and lessons that will lead me to be a better person and reach what I want to become. Thank you for your books recommendations and teach me that the learning process is a decision that we need to take, that education will lead us to make the world a better place and that anything is like it seems, we need to seek for our own truth and believe in ourselves, but most importantly, respect and work hard, harder than hard. 

This last week I would like to philosophize about how to create a system or method to improve our world. Maybe go back and start living as hunters and gatherers.

Thank you mister.]]> 2022-06-06 16:17:42 UTC https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212409652 Valentina Ropain https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212411317 What do you think of the documentary so far? 
It is understandable that not everyone has the same opinion about capitalism, we live in a world of contrasts and differences. I recently saw the documentary Capitalism: A Love Story and it seems to me that it heavily criticizes capitalism and how companies and corporations directly and indirectly dominate the daily lives of Americans and, consequently, the entire world. I think there are some parts where the creator exaggerates about what capitalism is, in my opinion it is not a bad economic system.

What is one thing that you have learned? 
The main thing I learned from this documentary is that capitalism is not a system that favors the middle class. Capitalists benefit from capital accumulation to generate their profits by investing in different projects. As more is produced and capital is accumulated, the profits of the capitalists also increase. Therefore, those who benefit most from a capitalist system are those who own a large amount of 'capital', in other words, the upper class people.


What would you like to learn for your final week at school?

In this last week I don't want to learn anything, I don't even want to come to school, I just want the school year end and start vacations :)))

We were able to get a clear understanding of how the wage gap is caused. Different views, facts, and statistics that we have learned in the class had an impact on our view of this problem. We are not oblivious that there are many causes for this problem that makes us more aware of solutions and solutions could be economic or social based.

I learned many things, but taking especially one that I remembered, was the period in the US between 1944 to 1970 when they invested in education, and because of this, they got to a point in which only 5% of their people were in poverty conditions.

I think that something relaxing, interesting, and educative will be that we learn about the current people with the most worth and their lifestyle, business, economic strategies, projections, etc. ]]> 2022-06-06 16:21:10 UTC https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212413891 Salma Ospina https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212415322 The documentary is really interesting, it analyzes the widening income inequality in the U.S. It shows how this affects the economy and all the consequences of this problem. The documentary reveals how 1% of the population earns more since the richest four hundred Americans had more wealth than half the United States population put together. Shows how the middle class is the most important factor in the economy, since a strong middle class = strong economy. The documentary also explains that some inequality is inevitable under capitalism and the middle class is struggling for years. I learned how inequality affects the market, in the documentary there was a business man with a company and he said that the problem with rising inequality is that fewer people can afford their products also I learned that the middle class is the heart of the economy and the huge income difference between the 1% and the rest of the people.

I would like to learn more about history especially the economic strategies they used during wars. ]]> 2022-06-06 16:22:23 UTC https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212415322 Nicole Sanjuanelo https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212428964 I liked the documentary a lot because it shows one of the problems that the United States has, not everything is perfect and here you can see evidence, we always believe that this country has everything perfectly but here we realize that they abuse workers and this is The worst thing that can exist, I Nicole Sanjuanelo Andrade totally disagree with what is happening in that country and they do not realize that abusing the working class is also bad for companies because they do not have consumers who can spend on their products.

I've also learned that there is no middle class in capitalism; propaganda has persuaded people to extend capitalism's life.

I learned from the documentary how inequality affects society not only socially and politically, but also economically, and how money is distributed in many parts of the world in such a way that there is no balance.

I'd like to learn how to manage my debt, and apply for loans.]]> 2022-06-06 16:33:30 UTC https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212429162 Alex Cotes alex_cotes_granadillo https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212439800
I enjoy seeing "Inequality for All" because comes with a specific analysis of economic factors that tells how inequality is used to advantage certain people and disadvantage many others. So this expands my knowledge about how having an unequal economy would affect countries and communities' development into a prosperous and better environment for all their members. Something new I can observe in it was how middle-class incomes have stayed the same or even dropped since the 1970s. It also shows that many jobs, now pay less than they did 30 years ago. Something that I want to learn in my last week, is how a country increase its profit per capita in a year.]]> 2022-06-06 16:41:56 UTC https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2212439800 Paula estrada https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2214016659 In the documentary "Inequality for all" I learned about the huge economic gap that exist between the extremely rich people and middle/low class people. it also shows how economy work for maintaining this gap because it helps the biggest millionaires that are the ones in power, it shows us how the middle class is the center of the economy because they are the ones that spend every cent they have and don't save much, this keeps the money in the hands of the richest. 

some of the information i recall from the documentary is that the recession started in the 1970's and it keep going down, it showed how this gap affected and was the center of the market. The darkest fact they mention was that the 400 hundred millionaires of the US together have more wealth than halve of the population of the country.

concluding, in the last week of school I would like to know how bitcoin and digital money work because I have little understanding in that topic. ]]> 2022-06-07 19:23:43 UTC https://padlet.com/fadymedhat/gcmvjp6ad914gc67/wish/2214016659
