Natural Rights

Natural rights are rights that aren't contingent. Not contingent to the law, beliefs and/or customs. Natural rights are rights that are thought to be universal, completly different from legal rights because they are rights that culturally and politically relative. This also would mean for anyone could have the previlage of a freedom having to do with human's basic way of acting or living, such as owning a land or the right to marry anyone they want. In the Declaration of Independence, some rights say the following: "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
They are also said to be "rights which grow out of the nature of being a human". Natural rights are essential to human progress. Once these rights were violated by Great Britain and this conrtibuted to the American Revolution.

Why do people migrate to Morocco and away from Morocco?

People migrating to Morocco happen for a reason. Many historical events happened in Morocco that have a monument which represents that specific historical event/moment. Many people which are not Moroccan come to Morocco to visit these monuments and to know more about history. Many cities such as Marrakesh (known for having red buildings and walls), Essaouira ( known for their quality in fishing and for having blue and white buildings), Fes and many other cities.
Other reasons why people migrate to Morocco is for geographic reason. As we all know there aren't many countries with deserts and mountains. Morocco has both of them, the Sahara Desert and the Atlas mountains. The climate also plays a major part in migration because Morocco is a country which doesn't have that much of rain. There is usually a good amount of sunny days and some people rather be in the sun than in the ran all day.

Migration happens away from Morocco for reasons such as knowledge or work. Rich people ( people of high class ) want their children to finish their studies. Adults migrate to other countries to be able to get/obtain a good job and to earn money.

The way the French colonization influenced Morocco.

The French colonization helped us, Morocco, as well. When the French came to Morocco they did not just bring soldiers to fight, but they brought their culture, customs, religion, and languages. We started using their type of technology. Our country developed into a better country. Our understanding went further than just Morocco. People might think that this colonization was a negative impact, but i think it is a positive impact too.

About ESPERAT+G

Why should people study history?

It is important for people to study history because so that they do not make the same mistakes they made in the past. People say that "history repeats itself" and in some cases it is true in others it isn't, it is still important to be aware of the possible problems. Knowing about our past is to be able to know our ancestors and to know more about your culture, religion and customs. Without history people will not develop because people don't add to what they found. Lets take for example scientists, when they find something important they write it down into a lab report and give the opportunity for others to try i and be able to add something if possible. Then we they do the experiment they find out that something is wrong and they can change it. This is how they are adding to the discoveries of other scientist and this develops our lives and world.

Why is a blog important?????

Blogs are technological ways to communicate with people throughout the world. In a way it is another type of resource that children or even adults can visite to discover new information. In a blog there is certain information that a person has learned and let us (readers) to be able to learn it too.

Most important reasons why students should blog:
