Morocco is home :) !

When I finish my university years, I am most likely to come back to my hometown Casablanca, Morocco. Using ESPRAT+G, I will discuss the reasons why. 
I would come back to Casablanca and start my own buisness enterprise of interior design. Since my dad own his own architerture enterprise, I would work with him. He would build the houses and I would design their interior. By the help of my father, I will then grow and build my own buisness and start my life independently. In Morocco, I have all my friends and family. I wouldn't be looking for other people to become friends with since I already have mine here in my place. As for Religion, this is an islamic country. However, people are free to believe in whoever they want. No one judges you on what your beliefs are. Technologicaly, Morocco receives all the new updates of every technical device. It lacks of nothing. Geographically, it is well situated. Casablanca is both hot and cold in the time being. It is nor too cold nor too hot, its in the middle. Therefore no worries about the climate.
Finally to resume, when I finish my university year I will come back to my hometown and hopefully start a new life of grownups.

No compromise situations .. !

In an adult/teenage life, a compromise may not be a solution. As in the situation of an arranged marriage. The girl/women wouldn't want to get married with someone she doesn't know and doesn't want. However her parents are forcing her to do so maybe for money problems or other reasons. The girl/women absolutley will not agree and the parents will definitely not step aside. Therefore there is no compromise because none of them would arrange an agreement that would satisfy both of them. 
In a moroccan political situation, there would be no compromise in changing the King. He should always be the son of the previous King. There is no agreement that could be made so that another King would replace the real one for so and so reasons. Therefore there is no compromise in this situation.

Colonists

Colonists wanted to be free from everything. Therefore, they did their possible to get what they wanted. They thought of making some changes to make a better world. However, they figured out that loads of people would make a larger change. So they gathered up all the people they could and thought of revolting against the government, thus make it angry. At last, the government accepted and made some changes because having a whole group of people rebellion against you is difficult to confront. The taxes held on them made them furious which made the people rebelle more. Finally the government gave up and everyone got what they wanted.
