Moroccans are very generous with their culture especially with their land. As we heard from our entrepreneur farmer he rents plots by his farm to expand for $300 per year. This is an insanely low prices for land. It makes some sense that you could get the land for very cheap when there is nothing their and the plot does not have much value. Although I think this could create a potential fault line in the future for our farmer. 

If the farmer rents the land for $300 when the plot is relatively worthless everyone is happy. Although after years of fixing the land and turning it into a beautiful lively garden the land owner may not be so happy anymore. Their land will now be worth significantly more. I could see a potential problem if the owner was to come back and demand a higher price, and if the farmer was not willing to pay that new higher price they would most likely be able to take the farm because at the end of the day it is their land. 

All in all, I think the generous culture is admirable. Although, if this market were to have a triggering event and turn into something of great value in the future, a lot of company killing issues could arise.  

In addition, I feel that this is an issue that is going to continue to escalate. I say this because the real estate market in Morocco is on a decline. Thus, money will be getting tighter for the average person and people are going to need to make quick money any way that they can. https://www.globalpropertyguide.com/Middle-East/Morocco/Price-History

This video is part of the  TED Talks  series.  TED  (Technology, Entertainment and Design) is a nonprofit devoted to disseminating "ideas worth spreading." I thought the idea of  creating authentic identity through failed imitation  was a great theme to begin the course as well as the blog. My hope is that you will step outside of the  status quo  and use your creative nature to complete the assignments and explore identity in a global context throughout this semester. What are your thoughts about Hetain Patel's presentation?

Culture: Young Entrepreneurs in Morocco

     Cruising through Morocco's bustling streets, I encountered something remarkable: young children, barely school-aged, hustling to make ends meet. As a supporter of instilling a strong work ethic in children, these encounters made me reflect on the societal dynamics at play. Unlike the lemonade stands or school fundraisers I'm used to back home, these children weren't just seeking pocket money; they were often selling goods to survive and working to support their families.      This reality raised questions about education policies in Morocco.  According to a report by Human Rights Watch, although Moroccan law prohibits children under 15 from working, exceptions are made for those engaged in economic activity. The report highlights that approximately 1.2 million children in Morocco are engaged in economic activity, with 372,000 of them being under the age of twelve. This statistic highlights the frequency of child labor in the country and the challenges it poses to educa

       During our first tour of The Hassan II Mosque, I asked our tour guide about the headscarves most women wore. She informed me that the hijab, donned by numerous Muslim women in Morocco, is deeply ingrained in religious teachings, symbolizing modesty and adherence to Islamic principles. The meaning of “hijab” means “to conceal” in Arabic. It is the idea of covering yourself to honor God, and not draw sexual attention. Quranic verses and Hadith literature underscore the importance of modest attire, urging both genders to cover themselves and preserve modesty.      For Moroccan Muslim women, wearing the hijab transcends cultural tradition; it's a religious duty, showcasing their commitment to Islamic values. Serving as a tangible expression of faith, the hijab signifies submission to divine commandments and dedication to upholding religious ideals in daily life. Beyond its physical manifestation, the hijab carries spiritual significance, embodying a woman's inner modesty, di
