Tunisia

Tunisia is a relatively small northern African country with very limited natural resources compared to its nabors. The capital is Tunis and main other cities are Sousse and Sfax.
The country was under Cartagian, Roman Ottoman and French rule to name a few. This explains the omni presence of vocabulary from all over the Mediterranean in their spoken language which is more a variant of Arabic than a dialect.
The main industries are tourism, textile, IT and agriculture. But when that wasn't going too well for them they went crazy bat shit on their long running president and ousted him to some barren Saoudi castle.
The country's been a central piece to the social movements that stirred in North Africa and the middle East back in 2011. What was called the Jasmin revolution brought democracy to Tunisia, a democracy then again the military to power in Egypt, and civil war to Libya, Syria and Yemen.
The Tunisian people are a proud people and would often brag about their long and grandiose history. They're particularly proud of Cartage. Secularity is remarkably very palpable for a Muslim majority country. Tunisia's rank amongst the countries that drink the most alcohol per capita is undisputable.
The beach is the best with very few tourists on the northern western Tunisian cost.

turnitin.com

Turnitin (also known as Turnitin.com) is an Internet-based plagiarism-detection service created by iParadigms, LLC. Institutions (typically universities and high schools) that have bought licenses to submit essays to the Turnitin website to check for plagiarism.

Students may be required by schools to submit essays to Turnitin, as a deterrent to plagiarism. This has been a source of criticism, with some students refusing to do so in the belief that requiring it constitutes a presumption of guilt. Additionally, critics have alleged that use of the software violates educational privacy and intellectual property laws.

Parent company iParadigms, LLC, also offers a similar plagiarism detection service for newspaper editors and book publishers called iThenticate, and run the informational website Plagiarism.org. Other services marketed under the Turnitin brand are aimed at the educators' market, such as grade marking and peer review services.

While most people agree that combatting plagiarism is important, Turnitin critics argue that:

1. Turnitin violates student privacy and intellectual property rights, especially when archiving student papers without students' knowledge or permission;

2. Turnitin profits from students' work without paying royalties;

3. Turnitin creates an adversarial relationship between teachers and students because it fosters an atmosphere of distrust and renders students "guilty-until-proven-innocent";

4. Turnitin distributes copies of students' papers to third parties, which destroys the future marketability of students' intellectual property.
