1. A topogically transformed map is a map not drawn to size or shape but to something like GDP or the population in total or how poor people are in that way it is described. 2. Map A on pag 26-27 describes how much money there is in each country for GDP but not how big the shape it is or how much it us compared to other country only tells you how much. Map A on page 28 shows you how big it is compared to other countries so I would say they both give me a clear understanding in both ways making up their differences but at the same time map A shows you how big the countries are but the other map tells not the size but the amount of money. 3. I would say that America is bigger than Canada because of it population and ecomony and its bigger than Mexico because there are alot of poor people there. In South America all is mainly rqual besides Brazil and Argentina. All is about the same in Africa besides South Africa.

**Fair Trade News** **It’s not’s tasty if it’s not fair Fair-Trade Chocolate** This is a special report on the Cocoa industry in Ghana and how fair-trade helps the environment around it. Where is Ghana some may ask well it is in Africa I bet you’re wondering where in Africa, well I’ll tell you it is in West Africa if this is still not enough information look at this map of Africa and Ghana will be the highlighted part on this map of Africa. Now that I’ve told you where Ghana is I will tell you how the chocolate there is made in the fairest way I bet you have heard how big companies rip off farmers in Africa. Well it is true it happens in day to day life that is why things grow in Africa are made so cheap. The fair trade chocolate made in Ghana is made more expensive since the company makes the same amount of money. For unfair trade a cocoa farmer would get paid .50 pounds for a bag of cocoa or less but a company in Kuapa Kokoo they would get 14 pounds for1 bag of cocoa. Now that you now this I think I can start explaining how this whole process works and why Kuapa Kokoo makes more than the average cocoa farmer. But I will not be explaining I am interviewing two cocoa farmers today one who is in the Kuapa Kokoo foundation named Roger and a regular cocoa Ghana farmer. I will be interviewing the Regular farmer named John first. Then I will interview Roger and then lastly Bob to ask how kuapa Kokoo has made his life better.. We will do these interviews shortly but first I will show you the fair and unfair cocoa trading chain

and how it is unfair to farmers.

The cocoa trading chain is almost always unfair with the buyer giving the wrong price on purpose or telling this false amounts all sort of scandals, to understand how this work I will have to explain it well. First the whole process starts high in the mountains with the cocoa tree. The farmer picks the bean and opens it up and gets the smaller cocoa beans then a middle man comes around to buy large quantities of them and then when they are being weighed the middle man tweaks the weight so the farmer does not get the right price for them. Then the middle man brings it to UK where he gets a lot more money than the farmer say if the farmer sold 1 tonne of cocoa beans he would get 600 pounds and the middle man would sell it for 1000 pounds which is the world market price for them with this amount of money the farmer barely makes enough to survive and keep his job alive as well. But there is no way he can send his children to schools and cannot afford medication. Then they are shipped off to England and put in a factory where the company melts the cocoa beans and puts sugar and other things into the chocolate and it then they freeze and form it into chocolate bars. This whole process is the same for Kuapa Kokoo but they have their own scales which they check the middle man has not tweaked them and they get the world market price for their beans. Now it is time for interview time during this interview I will be asking the interviewees the questions that are on this Data table.

Reporter: John when you are selling your cocoa does the buyer usually rig his/her scales to give a lower reading of the weights. John: Yes they do this is why I bought my own so I can get a bit more money it is disastrously cruel to take from us who barely have any money Reporter: In what form are you paid in. John: I am often paid in voucher or checks which usually bounce so now I demand cash but sometimes they just walk away and don’t buy. Reporter: For one chocolate bar how much do you get. John: I do not get the amount I would on the world market but around .02 cents if the chocolate bar cost 2 dollars. Reporter: Per tonne of cocoa how much money would you make John: around 600 pounds per tonne but sometimes even less Reporter: What happens with the division of profits for you John: Well I do not get any division of profits I only get the money from the raw cocoa beans and this barely covers my farming costs Reporter: What is your influence in decision making? John: Well I really have so little it doesn’t really do much in how the companies use my cocoa and they usually treat me like trash Reporter: Are you provided any training or education John: No I am provided no training at all. Reporter: Is their any community projects John: No there is no bonus for community projects

Now I will be talking to my second person Roger the representative of Kuapa Kokoo

Reporter: So in Kuapa Kokoo how is the cocoa beans weighed? Roger: Well the village recorders weigh the bags on accurate scales where farmers which cannot read can understand and it is regularly spot checked Reporter: How are the farmers paid Roger: They are paid by cash or check which is guaranteed by the buyer Reporter: What is the amount you get for selling your cocoa beans Roger: The farmers receive about the price that is paid for World market price Reporter: How many pounds would you receive for 1 tonne of cocoa beans? Roger Kuapa Kokoo usually receives about 1,066 pounds per tonne Reporter: What is the division of profits in Kuapa Kokoo Roger: The profits are usually divided among the farmers at the end of the year Reporter: Do the farmers get Training and education Roger: well yes they all can get training and education from us Reporter: Are there any community projects in Kuapa Kokoo Roger:Well we do in a way since most of the fair-trade companies we deal with give us a hundred pounds for all sorts of community projects\ And finally Bob Reporter: So Bob has your life change since you joined Kuapa Kokoo. Bob: Oh yes I have been helped out in Social ways like getting proper education and training for more effective ways to pick and DE-shell the cocoa beans. The training has made my output of Cocoa beans become double which is ex termly good they have also made those evil middle men pay me fairly which is great I am earning a bundle and I now have health care and all my children can now go to school. The money I do not need I donate it to the community. Reporter: What does Kuapa Kokoo mean? Bob: It means good chocolate Reporter: When was it established Bob: It was established in 1993 Reporter:Can anyone join and what are its aim Bob: Yes as far as I know anyone can join its aims are to make sure every cocoa farmer in Ghana gets traded fairly with.

After hearing all of this I bet you're wondering how can I help as a consumer? Well all you have to do is by fair trade chocolate bars since for everyone of you buy you reduce the poverty in Ghana by a little so you can help reach the millenium development goals in Ghana one chocolate bar at a time. Since every fair trade chocolate bar you buy may be more expensive than the rest but a lot of the profits are going to farmer instead of the company or the middle man this is why Kuapa Kokoo and the Divine chocolate factory have teamed up Divine chocolate only buys Kuapa Kokoo chocolate from a middle man and they know if It is since the fair trade company ever now and then come over to look at it. This why buying one chocolate can make an unhappy farmer a happy one!

Divine chocolate is the best chocolate for many reasons a lot of their products are fair trade and so like the saying goes it can't be tasty if it ain’t fair they do everything to make a customer happy like you. Second of all dark chocolate who can't love that stuff with raspberries in it so go on down and buy some Divine chocolate yum

I could not do it for a widget here it is Humanities Why did people believe in witches? Laws: The laws that were made would be ridiculous if witches did not exist so they simply must have existed if the monarchs believed in them. There we’re all these horrible laws for witches most persecuting them the laws only got worse. So the government mainly made witches and sort of peer pressured civilians that if anything went wrong a witch was among them instead of blaming their own lack of skills for something or a natural occurrence Lack of knowledge The Civilians of Britain did not have a very good scientific knowledge, since from an early age it was ingrained into them good things happen a blessing from god bad things happen a witch doing the devils bidding. They simply could not understand the natural of occurrence of things happening so people use witches as scape goats for bad things happening and burn them. So a simple natural thing like nature can be turned into witches spouting curses and bad omens Fear Common peoples fear can be a very irrational thing that can kill innocent women who may look old and ugly and live alone. Peoples fear of bad things are turned on things that cannot protect themselves like old women. But not only that fear can become greed since if you want to become rich raid a village full of women get people to accuse each other of witches and boom your rich. So People telling stories and so on about witches can turn a sane man into a little ball of weeping tears and cursing witches for blame all their life. Poor and rich The tension between poor and rich people felt like it would explode any minute. The rich people could accuse any street urchin that was bothering them as a witch and they would die. The monarchs did nothing to help this helping people catch witches using books preying on old women. For rich people the witches craze was a mere tool for them to get rid of any pest left or right. So they used it continually influencing person after person witches existed so they could use it in their own twisted way for some politics in some way.

Myp 4 Reflection: For this project I did a considerable amount of research, and I read over one or two times, but I think I could have thought of my process of how I make my project. I had alot of fun with it. Reflection: For my project from medicine across the centuries I could have worked a bit harder and longer on it and I think I did better on my newer project than I did on this one. My grade was good but I can still improve on my grammar and my information needed tob e a bit tidied up.
