Migrations

After looking at multiple data sets i have come to multiple conclusions and questions. One being that the United States tend to have the highest number of people migrating in. Thats possibly due to the U.S. still having the "land of opportunity" label. The people coming tend to be from all over the world. Europe also has a high incoming rate, mainly from the middle east. That is possibly due to the conflicts currently going on there. Many of the migrants from the middle east tend to only go into countries near them. Im guessing that is due to them not being able to afford the travel to more distant countries. What did surprise me, and make me question why, was that mexico was the number one country for americans to immigrate to. Made me think is Mexico getting better, or the united states getting worse?

Investigating primary sources

1. You can learn that the entire page is about the ball. The page is about the costumes, meaning they assume thats what the readers want to learn about. The newspaper seems to see it as a big deal such as a royal marriage.

2. This article informs you of the schedule of what when down at the ball. The illustrator seems to be praising the ball, thinking it was amazing.

3. The minister criticized the ball because he saw it being possible that the money be dispensed in more useful ways such as charity. The newspaper published his view so the public could think about how much that money would help having been used on better things.

4. From reading this piece, the society of the time was very interested in the ball due to the article having sections on the people at the ball, inside the ball room, and what happened in and out of the ball.

thinking about success

1. Opportunity
2.Hard Work
3. Skill
4. Luck

I ranked opportunity number 1 due to it varying between different people, some take advantage of their opportunity while others dont. Also 2 people could have the same skill set and intelligence, just one is born into a wealthier family, giving him a better opportunity for his future. Hardwork is number 2, above skill because anybody can work hard, and also working can be used to acquire skill, making the work more important. Luck is last because while it can help some, it helps very few meaning one cant just sit around and wait for the perfect chance to become rich. They must work and find the opportunity to get money.

Business Innovation

Today i learned about the 3 main clothing manufacturers H&M, Uniqlo, and Zara and how they all have different approaches in the fashion industry. Zara is a spanish based company that takes the approach on fashion as being quick and responsive to trends. In order to do so the company has a quick schedule in which it can quickly ship small batches of trendy clothes to retailer and if needed make quick changes to keep up to date. On the other hand there is the company Uniqlo who takes a different approach. Rather than quickly updating to fashion trends like Zara does, Uniqlo does style that will stay in fashion for a long time and also be able to keep well in quality. In order to do so Uniqlo spends months before hand designing what they anticipate to be trends. While Uniqlo and Zara are on complete opposite sides, H&M is in between. In order to be in the middle H&M's approach is to release two main collections, one for fall and one for spring which will have what H&M thinks is long term trends, the same as Uniqlo's approach. While releasing the two main collections, H&M also releases sub collections in between which keep up with the sudden trends much more like the Zara approach.
