Systemic change is something that is inevitable. There are many details that pertain to systemic change, but they will change regardless. It takes an individual to set a trend to cause either positive or negative change. In this scenario, we focused on individuals who attempted to lead a systemic change. For example, during the time that Teddy Roosevelt was in office, he wanted to stop the overwhelming amount of monopolies. These monopolies were created by large companies and trusts. These companies used devilish ways to get money. They would force their buyers into purchasing something they did not want in order to get something they did want. In our visual presentation, we focused on Barack Obama and Theodore Roosevelt. They both wanted to create change in the economy and government. Theodore wanted to spread money around rather than companies hogging hard earned money from citizens. Barack Obama is trying to balance out the percentage comparison of high class to low class citizens. Initially, the gap between rich and poor in America is not only devastating but continually increasing. Obama is an individual wanting to create systemic change. 



​1. Explain your choice of presentation format.
Malik and I chose to do a poster because we felt that posters are visual and if this were to be posted, many people would be able to see the points that we were trying to make. We also liked the idea of making it with our hands instead of over the computer.

 2. Two sentences about your answer to the essential question.

Systemic change is when a whole system changes in a big way. Typically, these changes begin with one individual wanting to change a problem with a system. 

3. What questions do you sill have about business in America?
What systems could be developed to prevent monopolies and inflation of certain businesses.
