Four Basic Economic Systems

Question

So it's our first week of class and our teacher in in South Africa. He left this assignment sheet with a TON of stuff to do. so on of the assignments is to make a chart explaining the four economic systems (Traditional, Command, Market, and Mixed) on a chart in 6 different ways (Private, Ownership, Consumer-Severity, Competition, Government Regulation, and Profit Motive)
Does anyone have a clue how to help me figure this out? I don't know what he expects us to fill in this chart with.

Well first u must research each component individually, then you can put them all together. If I were to explain all this to u on YA it would be like a freakin' 50 page essay.
