Resolutions
Making resolutions is important for a person who wants to grow and strive to be better. Normally people make good resolutions but, you can make bad ones as well. But the goals people set out for themselves are usually those that aim to help a person accomplish whatever they want to achieve.

Globalization on Africa
Today I will be speaking on the topic of to what extent do the legacies of historical globalization affect the people of Africa. What does this mean? To what extent has the choices of Imperial powers and past African leaders affected the continent today. In many African countries, when imperial forces left, there was a massive power imbalance, poverty, and war. Before the scramble for Africa, people in Africa were doing fine. Were there still wars, yes, but it wouldn't be as gruesome as the ones we have today. When imperial powers conquered these countries, new technologies were introduced, groups would be granted special privileges due to their looks and their ideals. In my country, Sudan, before the imperial powers invaded, we saw a lot of Muslims due to the many Arab invasions, but when the British came, they tried to convert them to Christianity. That is a legacy by itself, and this is why we see such a mix of culture in Sudan and many other African countries. Languages were changed, perceptions were altered, government systems changed, and resources depleted. These are all consequences of historical globalization.

Recognition
When I was growing up, I was ignored by my parents almost every day. You see my mother always had friends she would talk to on the phone and when I asked her something she would send me away to go do something. I would feel sad after and probably go cry or just go play with my toys. She would scream at me saying “I’m on the phone Seyi come back later!” Her friends laugh at me on the phone or complain that she should discipline me more, I felt pretty embarrassed hearing her friends tell my mom that, since the thing I wanted to tell her wasn’t that important. In my life, I have not been given that much recognition, especially in schooling environments.

Planning
Why is planning for the future so important? The reason why planning for the future is so important is that you would like to know what you would like to become in the future. The whole reason to plan ahead is that you know what you would like to do at certain times. If you do not plan you could become lost, for example. Let’s say that you would like to become a doctor in the near future, but you do not know what classes you need to take and what credits you would need to pass the program. To be prepared you need to plan for your future and choose what classes you need to take to pursue the career path that you would like to go down.

Economic View
Kanes idea of an economy is more to the left as he wanted more government intervention while Hanyek wanted an economy where the economy would take care of it self. When globalization came about these two had began to advance their ideas and take it to a new level. How these new factors like travelling and new ways to trade. Hanyes thought that his new impact would damage their society as their society was fragile. WWII destroyed 20 mil lives, it laid a whole continent to waste. Hanyek was a participant in the first world war, he strived to make the world a better place, a capitalistic economy.In 1917, there was a russian revolution people were divided and people wanted to smash capitalism. Car; Marks idea was to make the working class rise up and this would make equalization which is the basic idea of communism. They tried to make Trade, commerce and private property criminal acts and they promised to end the economic exploitation of man. Kanes was the rival of Hanyek ideology wise. He spent the first world war advising the government. Kane thought that the money that the british were demanding from Germany was disgusting, so he resigned. The idea of socialism is the mixed between both governments. Fairness and equality in a society so that the poor don't have to stay poor and they can become rich. Libertarians believe in people's personal choice. They dont care its your choice, basically extreme freedom. In Moscow 1922, the state controlled the economy everyone was equal. Small business where allowed but anything big was controlled by the soviet government. In Vienna 1923, germany and austria were forced to pay more money for peace. This caused inflation. Hanyek even received 208 pay raises. Pay inflation would lead to people not having enough money and items would become a lot of money due to hyperinflation. Hitler later comes along and promises to make things better and hopefully put an end to Germany paying money. America cities would be spending a lot of money they would buy new cars and most importantly stocks. Stocks would bubble and later the bubble would burst and a lot of people would lose a lot of money and this would later hurt economies in a very big way. This would later lead to the great depression as prices would become a lot and people would become poor and a lot of people who were spending a lot of money would spiral downward. This along with banks and stores. People waiting to withdraw all of their money and this would hurt banks would later close down because of the mass disappearance of money. Pure ideologies would fail no matter what way they were taken. A government can’t be a pure capitalistic if so it would hurt the country and later fail. In washington 1933, Rosevelt would later help america get out of the great depression. It became a soliclism type of government because the government would intervene and help the people. New industries would be made and refined. Governments would help and intervene and make the aviation industry safer for people and would make it more stable. Kaynes made a book or a report on how to fix the great depression. He wanted governments to have a fund of money to prepare for the future. MORE GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION. In world war II, pearl harbor was bombed. The depression was finally gone as the people had to prepare for the war and make new items like uniforms and weapons. Hanyek thought that kanes was taking society in a big step backwards. He wrote the road to serfdom and how kanes economy can make people come back to old ages were people would be “enslaved” and the government would be the new “monarch” in that economy. In New Hampshire 1944, delegates come from all over the world to talk about post world events the later made the world bank and other Global institutions. The goal was to make the economy stable and prevent another depression and they did a great job as they are not as many depressions as there would be more if this didn’t happen. V-E Day in 1945, the war was finally over and the troops came back.
