"Did Morocco have any recent revolutions?" discussion with family.


As I spent time discussing with my family about the recent revolutions that occurred in Morocco, I learnt that there were advancements and no advancements. Some of the technological developments were evident since improvements in transportation became more modern (e.g. buses). In these recent years new projects were announced about building a subway system, tram system and new entertainment areas. More foreign products started to appear on the market, both Moroccan civilian markets and the Moroccan stock market.
There are many negative aspects of Morocco, and these of course tend to be more than the positive aspects. Morocco still has poor sanitation in the buses and robbery is very possible. Since robbery is very high the subway system will be a very common trap for pedestrians. The unemployment rate is high and there are many beggers in the streets. Corruption is widespread such as bribery and policemen do not stop bribery but promote it. The street condition is very poor in cleanliness and stray animals roam the streets freely. There are still products that could benefit us but they are not yet present in Morocco. Overall, my family and I think that Morocco is not yet in a position where it is possible to have a revolution. There were some advancements in technology, industry and business but not the base progress that we really need. Morocco still has some years to catch up on and some more effort. It is not the country that is like this, it is the people. If the people worked harder to improve their country, then it will be better.
