The
People’s Republic of China addressed problems such as religion, education,
population, employment, and crime through government laws and under Mao Zedong
who would make the last decisions.
October
2nd 1949, the Society union managed to establish diplomatic
relations with the new China. This would be accepted by the PRC in order to
gain more foreign relations with other countries such as Bulgaria, Hungary,
Romania, Czechoslovakia, Poland, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, and
Vietnam by 1951. The government would address foreign relations, as they wanted
to gain more communist powers around the world. The Chinese government was
trying to empower their government by gaining powerful relations all over the
world. Which is probably why they would sign treaties with other countries. As
well Mao Zedong, a representative of the PRC would travel in and out of Moscow
to sign mutual aid treaties.
Not
to forget the Eight National Congress of the CPC (PRC) was held, that would
announce its reform in agriculture, handicraft, and industry sectors. This
would then aid a large part of communist government to survive.
As
well China would start on its works in rebuilding its powerful economy by
addressing powerful issues such as education and crime. China believed in state
and order, that meant that if someone did a bad deed it would be obtained and
written down until a judge would declare guilty or not. In another aspect
education after October 1st, 1949 education became important. In
order to keep the Chinese people away from another civil war, they would have
to be educated. Education would stabilize the economy and make the goal of
sovereignty more applicable. The PRC’s main goal was to improve in technology,
which meant that education on science-based or technology-based would be
important. This would help China’s economy grow.
Here's a timeline I made on the Chinese project. It covers most of the important events, though I didn't manage to add all due to the "error" dipity didn't let me upload more events.
These are some more important events that didn't get added:
Huaihai Campaign- November 6, 1948
Huaihai Campaign is a military action in 1948 that was also
one of the last battles that determined China’s upcoming government. It was the
“Determining battle of the Chinese Civil War”. This lead to the victory of the
communist troops.
Location: Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan
The Long March- October 1934
A military event taken under the Red army and the Communist troops, this was undertaken by a series of marches. The long march began under Mao Zedong who organized the march in order to represent the communists.
There
were many individuals that played key roles in getting China to where it was on
October 1949. Mao Zedong the leader of the “communist”, and founder of the
People’s Republic of China.
In addition Zedong was the powerful leader of the
Chinese revolution, who managed to put an end on the 20 plus years of civil
war. He was a Marxist leader who believed in his intentions and strived for
successful goals. He would be referred to Chairman Mao (1st chairman
of the central committee of the communist party) due to his position in the
government. He held his power until his death in 1976.
Mao
Zedong has a character like no other, he was smart and managed to graduate from
the highest level of schooling available in his province. Mao was influenced by
communism in an early age. In 1921 he attended a meeting organized by the
Communist Party of China while in Peking University. He was determined and
interested in studying about communism, which lead to topics such as the
Russian Revolution.
In
1948 Mao was responsible for the People’s Liberation Army that occupied the
city of Changchun. From June until October it was believed that at least
160,000 people died from the siege. After he began rule in China he moved to
the city of Zhongnanhai, which was next to the Forbidden City (in Beijing). He
was relaxed and usually worked in his bed or next to his pool. A year later he
took the decision to work with the Russian army against the US. He managed to
send troops, People’s Volunteer Army, into Korea. As well Mao Zedong pushed the
Great Leap Forward, which was triggered from the second Five Year Plan. It was
copied from the Soviet model that was supposed to focus on the heavy industry
in order to push start the sustainability of the economy. Peasants were to work
in big industries and produce iron and steel for the country. This would set
back the agriculture, but more hours were added on in order to keep the
agriculture industry stable.
Sorry for the poor quality and that it's in Chinese.
Leading
to his death Mao was to address many consequences such as the “near” loss of
his position. He had poor health for several years leading to his death. He met
up with the Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto (of Pakistan) during his visit,
this was listed as his last public appearance. September 2, 1976 Mao was found
with a heart attack affecting his heart. This was triggered by his lung
infection, which he was aware of. Mao organs began to fail as September 9, 1976
proceeded, which lead to the doctors decision to let him die. The doctors chose
the 9th in order to keep a memorable day (9th day of the
9th month). His body would be laid in the Great Hall of the People.
After this there was a power struggle in China. People were scared and
terrified for another civil war. The right wing took control under the chairman
named Hua Guofeng, who continued planning the Soviet model. As the left wing
led under the leader of Deng Xiaoping who wanted to take care of the Chinese
economy, and set it into a market-oriented policy. This led to the reformers
who took control and Deng Xiaoping came to power without any blood shed, which
the Chinese were happy about.
China’s
new communist government managed to drive its country into an effective,
industrialized, progressive, modern shaped country by gaining foreign relations,
improving tax’s, and embodying the country into the right direction for the
future.
China has gone through a lot in
order to reach the point that it has in October of 1949. The government,
People’s Republic of China (PRC), which was enforced in that year, had made an
impact not only on the country but also on the rest of the world. China is a
big country known for its 20-year civil war, and Mao Zedong has managed to put
an end to it.
The PRC can be one of China’s
greatest gifts. They say actions speak louder than words, and the PRC has
managed to prove that to the world. Though some of the decisions might not be
agreed up on of every country. Such as America, where Truman himself had failed
to protect China’s rise to communism. In addition China’s decision to join the
alliance with the Soviets and fight in the Korean war. In between those
decisions China’s fight for sovereignty has been one of the most successful
goals it has achieved. The Chinese Revolution has given the PRC a chance to
prove themselves.
China has now managed to rise
from a “poor and unstable” country, into one of the top leading countries. After October 1949, the PRC
prove to be one of the most influential governments China has ever had. They
managed to sign alliances with Russia and gain power and control of its people.
In that case, during that time, that was the most important achievement.
Including the education system, which played key role on the impacts of today’s
world. China has managed to educate their people on the technological
advancements, which is why they’re a huge exporter of technology today.
The PRC’s actions were loud and
clear, their goal for sovereignty was strong and they were willing. They were the most influential
government, and managed to be the most effective. They remained constant and
gave Chinese people the opportunity to explore everything possible. Starting
with founding the Chinese educational academes, entering the Korean war,
seizing control of Tibet, one of the most significant Five Year Plan, beginning
nuclear research, and not to forget revolutionizing agricultural methods. These were all push factors that made
China grow as a country.
Though the country was under a lot of stress and opposing
forces, it managed to push China into the right direction, and as managed to
stay until the present day. Their agriculture would build their economy, which
was supported by the government. Jobs and people were industrialized, and some
were educated. Everyone had a job in their society and worked together in order
to create a network of sustainability. Many people were educated and put into
jobs in order to make the country richer. Their alliances with other countries
made them a country that stood out in Asia. The People’s Republic of China has
managed to be an effective government which remains to drive and succeed their
goals.
The main elements that shaped the People’s Republic of China
were the foreign policies, educational systems, treaties with other countries,
and the goal for sovereignty that managed to lead China into the great leap.
After the civil war China was under the People’s Republic of
China, the country would go through many social, political, and economic events
that would then become a significant part of China’s history. The civil war was
to come to an end after Mao Zedong led the Communists to victory against the
Nationalists, after more than 20 years of civil war. This would then lead to
the retreat of Chinese government into the island of Taiwan for a new setup.
Chinese foreignpolicy in 1949 had ordinary characteristics. They had goals that were similar
to other nations. The country was determined to protect its rule, power, and
territory. They were striving for independence and wanted to work with both
powerful and less powerful countries. Beijing’s foreign relations were marked
by their history, power, nationalism, worldview of leaders, and government
structure. China had good foreign policies that led till the late 1980s. The
foreign policies all reflected its hard working country, which took of after
the civil war of 1949.
After the PRC emerged, China was able to have a more
structured-like government. They took off with social events that would change
the country. In the 1950s the Mao began to favor the pro-natalistic population
policy. The government would adopt the ideas of the “new human being” which was
the idea of transforming family, marriage, and children’s education. These all
would lead to the impact of the PRC.
China was determined to find founding’s for the Chineseeducational system. A month after the win of the communist party, the National
Chinese Academy of Sciences, Academia Sinica (in Nanjing), and Beiping Academy
in Beijing was established. This would support the scientific advancement
education, which was based on the “socialization” of the education system.
Soon enough China would improve its relations between theSoviet Union, where it was to sign the “Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship,
Alliance, and Mutual Assistance”. China and Russia would then work together and
trade technological and scientific research, which would affect China’s growth
in agriculture and industry. This would then lead to China entering the Korean
war, where it would send its Chinese People’s Volunteer Army to invade into the
Korean Peninsula, to support its communist (North Korea) alliances. China was
to be aided by the Soviets who would assist them with firepower against the
United Nations and the USA.
After a few years of rule and positive outcomes of the
government, the popular Five Year Plan was introduced, this aimed to establish
a Soviet-like style for heavy industries. It was a powerful goal in order to
create a nation with fast industrial growth and socialization. The outcome
would launch the nuclear research, where it signs a further Sino-Soviet
agreement, where both countries would work together in Moscow.
China’s government was one of the fastest growing during the
1949-1950s. Its agriculture was successful and the country began to build itself
into a powerful nation. “New China” would soon be one of the most
industrialized and influential countries in Asia. It’s vast amount of education
and industrialization in the big populated country would soon impact the rest
of the world.
The communist managed to take over China in 1949 led by MaoZedong during the civil war, which was due to poverty, the death of the last
successor, and the different political powers.
October 1, 1949 will always be
remembered as the day the Chinese Communist leader named Mao Zedong declared
the big nation, China, as the People’s Republic of China (PRC). This ceremonywas to be viewed by 300,000 people, only in Beijing’s Tiananmen Squareitself. It was a phenomenal change
under the Chinese government, which would lead to a successful land reform
throughout China “accounting for over 90 percent of the total nationalagricultural population”. These are great achievements that were enforced by
the First Five-Year Plan period.
The declaration of the new government would change and
impact enormous events such as the full-scale civil war they were having
between the Chinese Communist Part and the Nationalists Party, also known as
Kuomintang. This war broke out after the Second World War. The People’s
Republic of China would also end the feud and long process of governmental
disturbance known as the Chinese revolution of 1911. In addition this would
lead to the United States admission to work with China.
The Question remains: how did the government emerge and what
conditions led to its implementation? As simple as it may seem the Chinese
Communist Party was created in 1921 in a town called Shanghai. They would join
the Nationalists Army in the Northern Expedition (1926-27) to fight the nations
warlords that were to avoid the forming of the strong central government. The
CCP (Chinese Communist Party) would work within the Nationalist Party.
The civil war in China itself that had gained strength since
1947 would eventually lead to the Communist victory. The Communist seemed weak,
as they did not hold major cities after the Second World War. But they were
strong and had a tough military that was perfectly organized. Early 1947, the
Government of the Republic of China (ROC) was in Taiwan looking for a
“potential point of retreat”. The U.S government wanted to maintain its
relations with the Nationalist China, but on the other hand it wasn’t ready to
be charged with assisting the loss of Chine to communism. This would then soon
lead to October 1949, where the military victories would lead to Mao Zedong
announcing the creation of the PRC.
After which they fled to Taiwan in order to re-plan their strategies
before retaking the mainland.
The U.S government was determined to take role in China’s
change in its government. August 1949, Truman published the “China White Paper”
which explains the U.S policy with China. It states, “Only Chinese forces would
be allowed to determine the outcome of their civil war”. This would then have
no impact on the Chinese whatsoever, as it has failed to protect his policy of
protecting china. This would then have led to the vocal Nationalist Government
and army to be left in Taiwan, which then would increase the U.S anti-communists.
Truman was infatuated by the idea of saving China from communism. Soon enough
he would find out in October that the PRC was ready to take over Chinas
government.
Sovereignty can be easily established as the authority over
one’s existence. This can be applied to many cases, such as individuals, a
community, or a nation-state. Here I’m going to talk about how the principle of
sovereignty is fundamental in IR. Now let’s question this statement, what does
it really mean? Sovereignty can be easily seen as supreme power or authority.
This means that for instance, a nation is allowed to become a self-governing
state, where it receives national sovereignty.
Going back to the question, what does it really mean when
the principle of sovereignty is fundamental in International Relations (IR).
There are simple principles of sovereignty. Political self-determination can be
easily seen as for individuals, communities or national. Self-determination can
be seen as “the ability of the people to govern them without the outside
interference—the ability to make our own laws in response to our needs, and to
reject laws which are neither needed nor wanted.” When a nation, so to say, is
allowed to take over sovereignty, this country or nation should know its own
consequences. Hereby I’m talking about taking responsibility and reliability.
The country is supposed to be able to govern itself and not be affected by the
outside. This means that responsibility and taking charge is key. Now lets talk
about economic sovereignty. What does that really mean? We can see it as “the
ability of the organism to control its own economy in response to its own
needs.” This means that if the country has a growing economy it is responsible
for it’s own demand and supply, in another case its own “needs”. This may be an
example of keeping its own currency, trading with country, controlling imports
and exports, and keeping track of taxes. Another principle can be seen as
border control. The country should be responsible and educated about what
leaves and enters the country, as they will be responsible for what they inject
into the country. Border control can be an example of a green principle, where
it strives for maintenance of sustainable population level, which protects its
environment.
Sovereignty can also be seen as the independence to survive,
and control it’s own country (as we’re speaking and taking note as nations).
Food and water self-sufficiency is also determined in sovereignty. Not only is
a nation required to get their own natural resources, but food and water
sovereignty is the ability to provide these essentials, than being dependent on
outside resources, which can be taken away any time. In another case energy
independence is also a factor. Having a country in the 21st century
more and more is based on energy. In the world we live today, we need energy
for transportation, light, cooking, living and everything possible. Think about
the energy we use daily and multiply it for your whole population. THAT’S A
HOLE LOT! A goal of a nation-state is always to read sovereignty to achieve
energy independence. By that it won’t be able to depend on other countries to
be their support system. When achieving energy independence a country does not
have to depend on outside sources, they are able to develop their own energy.
Self-defense or self-determination basically revolves around power and
sovereignty is supreme power or authority, which is why it makes perfectly
sense that self-defense and self-determination is a major factor. Sovereignty
depends on power, an individual, community, nation needs to be able to defend
itself. If it cannot, there’s no real sovereignty. A great example of this can
be how Iraq is getting threatened. I mean, why not North Korea? This is merely
because North Korea has the bomb. This is an example of sovereignty and being
able to defend itself, which is one of the most significant aspects a country
could ever have.
Simply sovereignty is a very powerful in the 21st
century. Everyday we strive for independence and power. People grow up and
educate kids in achieving sovereignty. In today’s world everything is about
“competition” being “better than everyone”. In schools kids learn to get better
grades and be better. Jobs are given to better people, rather than who really
deserves it. These are examples why sovereignty is one of the most important
issues in today’s world. International relations have been one of the main
contributors to sovereignty. We do everything in achieving something, this is
why this is so important. Thought sovereignty can be overlooked as something
good, that’s not always the case. Sovereignty also creates gaps in humanity.
Not only does it give us people a reason to judge and look at human kind as a
competition, but it affects the way we spend our daily lives.
It’s practically obvious to say that sovereignty has been
part of human nature since caveman’s time. We have just failed to recognize how
it has been impacting our lives through the centuries. In today’s world, we are
more understanding of our surroundings and more contempt with analyzing human
nature. Every country, person, or community strives for sufficiency and
independence, but not everyone is able to give that. This is why sovereignty
has been a big part of our society. We live by the rules, and encourage
competition. Every country is determined to be the wealthiest, protected,
self-determined country. This is a great example of the US who strives to be
the best in trade and power. This manages to give countries a strong nation and
a threat free society from other countries.
Here's an example of the presentation on the Information Revolution I'm giving for my Modern World Studies class. I've managed to record my voice and give an overview of the Information Revolution in around 5 minutes. The presentation talks about the effects and the Industrial Revolution itself. Enjoy!
After reading “The Dark Side of Science” I was intrigued by the act of cloning. This is usually always displayed in movies, though movies portray the exact same type of person this is not the case in real cloning. When cloning a person, there is a brand new baby. Which means that down the line the baby might look the same but their personality might be the total opposite. Yes, I’m saying totally different from his original counterpart. Now, let’s really talk about cloning. The first animal cloning happened with Dolly the lamb. But with that achievement there came some flaws, firstly Dolly died early. Though scientists didn't know if cloning was the exact reason, but the general consensus decided that could’ve been a big reason. The question is, would this happen with human clones too? Secondly Dolly was nearly 300 other embryos to get cloned. This is a low rate of success. Knowing this makes me question how hard it would be to clone a whole entire human and at what price.
This is Dolly the lamb:
Now let me start by pointing out the good things about cloning. Though there aren't many, I want to point out the idea of replacing something. Since cloning a whole human is way too complex and difficult (but can be done) cloning a body part is an easier method. With this I want to talk about cloning organs, skin, or any important body part. Sunburn can cause excessive damage for your skin, with cloning new skin some diseases such as cancer can be avoided. In another way cloning organs can even save lives. Once a person needs an organ, there is no time for waiting for organ donations, now cloning can make it faster and easier to live longer. Cloning an organ or a human can also be used for studying a certain disease or drug test. Though cloning can be a major change in history, using the idea of cloning should be wisely thought about.
Those ideas may seem relevant but now think about the idea of having another YOU walking around. Are you really YOU then? Remember, when cloning a person; let’s say you are considering cloning Einstein. Obviously he will look almost the same as Einstein himself. But will he become as smart and become a like personality wise? Maybe.
As stated before i mentioned the idea of cloning an organ. Usually people would like to clone an organ in order to get rid of a disease, but remember, when a disease is in your DNA or an inborn cause then there isnt really a cure for it.
Therefore personally, I believe that cloning should not be open for everyone. Cloning should be for people who are using it for test or experience. There should definitely not be another clone walking on earth. This could cause disturbances in the society and change mankind. I really think that if we did make clones everywhere, this might cause confusion and trouble. Whereas using cloning as drug tests and etc will just help us. Either way, they should only be used in minor cases.
Over the course of creating the info graphic, I’ve managed to learn many things, which included procedures such as discovering techniques and being able to accommodate my group with the resources we needed. The project basically was just handed to us (the group) as a topic and in other words said, “hey, make an info graphic for the topic”. The topic came in wide ranges, in which we chose to work on “textiles”. Textiles was a big subject and broad. This gave us a variety of things to work with. Since the topic was so vague, it made the infographic harder to work on. In order to create this phenomenal project that we had on our hands, we all had to be able to work together and cooperate. This wasn’t easy as we all had different ideas and things in mind. Coming together and forming something tested our abilities to work together. Basically we all had to brainstorm our ideas and put them together, some had to compromise and sacrifice in order to get along. This wasn’t easy, as we all wanted our ideas to succeed. Now that we came up with ideas and a structure, which we had to start from scratch, we were to find a software that made inofgraphics. With the time limit that we were given, fighting about what to use wasn’t in our heads. Photoshop was one of our choices, but it became not a option as we realized that no one knew how to use it! As we came to find, there was a software called “glogster” and with this we proceeded into making our infographic. There are other websites such as visual.ly that helped us establish how we'd design our infographic.
Many ideas were thrown in when making the infographic; we had ideas such as focusing on facts only, a timeline based subject, or groups of textiles. It was hard to focus on these things as the topic was wide and gave us a lot to handle. We came across the idea of focusing on the groups of textiles knowing that it was a more challenging and interesting way to give the message across. The infographic was made the way it is in order to give people a timeline and an overview of how textiles have influenced us today. The way it is made is really interesting, which is why we included the procedures. Everyone in the team was responsible for their section, we divided up the work into sections responsible for; nylon, cotton, wool, etc.
The collaboration in the team was with effort. We all worked together in order to get this done, though we felt pressured by time, assuring each other that we’ll work at home to get this done is what made the infographic so successful. Throughout the course everyone had to make sacrifices and compromise, this is what made the teamwork together so well. Everyone was willing and helpful as well as understanding. Teamwork comes a long way, and the project sure displays and showed me that.
Coming into this, I’ve never heard of the word “Infographic”. I’ve seen it, but never knew that there was a specific word for it. From far, they seem rather easy to be made, which is why I expected the project to be easier than I thought. But going into this I’ve learned to not judge a book by its cover. Its harder than I ever thought it would be. In order to gather information and put it into as little words and a small context as possible was way more challenging than I thought. Infographics are made by knowledge and understanding of a concept and putting it together by using skills on the computer. Infographics are more than they look, they provide information as well as technology skills that cannot be found everywhere. Infographics prove to have come a long way ever since this technology was invented. Without the technology we have today, such successful infographics that we see everyday without really noticing wouldn’t be here. This is why I think the variety and how much we’ve worked with technology affects every individual today.
Throughout the course as a team we’ve learned to try everything. With that I mean putting together different things and doing other things in order to see what fits best. This is why I could easily compare our project to a “trial and error” process. We try different things and what was wrong (error) was taken out. This is why the process was so complex. We didn’t know what would work right away and we used different sites to use as guidelines. We checked websites such as “How to make infographics” and more that helped us guide the way in completing this project.
I believe that infographics are so popular today for a variety of reasons. Starting with people today. People today, are more into “seeing” than “reading” with the new society people don’t have time to read a page of facts. Instead depicting the information into entertaining posters has made the society more interested in reading. People rather see something short, non time consuming, entertaining, colorful, and entertaining. Technology has managed to shape the world today. Not only are people more involved on the computer and the Internet but also people seek for entertainment and interest in different things. This is why infographics are such a big part of the society today.
The project has taught me a lot including time management, sacrifices, and working with new technology. As well as discovering new things, this project was rather hard, as many components were required. As well I believe that many people had to come together and work as a whole. Much of the time was more given into trusting our decisions as well as trying to work together and still respect our group members. During the course many things have become rather stressing, such as; which information to use, or what software to chose. These all made the project an unforgettable one. The project managed to open my eyes to new ways of finding information. I believe I could take away so many things from this project that I can also adjust and use in other classes.
Over the past few weeks my history class has been analyzing religions effects and contributions. Throughout the unit we got the chance to roam around the internet and find interesting things that concerns or apply to us. Around two weeks ago I came over thing blog CNN has put up. I found it rather interesting. This blog is an updated version of how religions impact us today. Throughout the blog, there are videos and interesting types of articles. Not only does this base itself up on boring old articles but it is made to be more interesting up to date issues.
This article struck my eye because firstly it was CNN, you can trust everything they say usually. Not only that the articles they published weren’t focused on religion but gave you a thought for the day. I found it interesting how all these things can be happening around the world and we don’t even know about it. As people we are supposed to connect and understand each other and I think this blog really brings it out. The hidden messages that are in the article are usually really powerful. They talk about myths, love, and daily activities. These all apply to us.
For instance I came across this article based on myths of American Muslim’s love lives. Not only did this instantly caught my eye but I found it interesting how we judge and insist on something without hearing the other side. This is an example of why religions separate people. In another article I read about the interesting facts of what Christians belief is in the bible but in reality it’s not. People usually make an interpretation about things to be based on their own views.
I found this blog really fascinating and interesting, as well as challenging. Most of the information they write about I have never known, this why it makes it so interesting. Another article I came across is the one based on Whitney Huston’s death/barrial. Not only did this play a big role on the media industry but the news has been there to capture every second since the incident happened.
This plays a huge role in society as religion becomes more and more of an impact on people decisions. Though it may seem that religion has been getting less popularity ever since, but the truth is that more people have been turning around to face religion and have it unify people. At the end of the day I believe that religions are a major impact on our day to day lives as well as there to unify people. It may seem as a big reason why conflict is started. But at the end of the day it unifies families and people all around the world. Let’s keep this as a habit so we can grow into a better nation.
2011 has gone by a blink. A fresh New Year has started and many memories have been put aside. I will always know 2011 personally as the year of the flood. The flood has been a huge impact of the year and definitely shaped many things. Though people dread the new coming year of 2012, I welcome it. It’s a new year, a fresh start, and something new to look forward to. Experts have analyzed 2012 ahead, here is a list for the economy and what to watch out for. Open your eyes and look ahead, this is going to be an interesting year.
1. Unemployment has been one of the main concerns in America and throughout the world. Though percentages are rising job growth is supposed to be picked up by the second half of 2012, as experts say.
2. Euro zone crisis as been one eye-opening topic of 2011. Germany a leading country has been one of the strong supports of this crisis. Though it is to be said that 2012 will only drag Europe into a “deeper recession” other countries facing a financial crisis should definitely look out.
3. China is known to be one of the biggest exporters of Asia. In the next few months we should expect China to grow rapidly. But experts expect china to “lose momentum” this year.
4. Gold, everyone is known to invest in gold and to make as much profit as possible, but what lies ahead for these investments? Experts predict gold prices to increase by the end of 2012. Though they also say that gold isn’t a good investment due to the “manipulated market”.
5. Housing during 2011 wasn’t as its best. Many real-estate owners may know this due to the low percentage of consumers. But heads up, 2012 should be a rebound year!
6. Emerging markets, is this the time to invest? Some experts say to pass up on the investment and buy domestic instead. Understanding the market will help you get a better idea of what to invest in.
7. Keep your head high and invest in something that is suitable for you. There are going to be more years to come, don’t invest everything now. Look at what’s appropriate and fits perfectly.
2012 is expected to be a good year, so let’s start off fresh and maintain the good start all year long!
