Reviewing Questions

Today in Human Geo class we were talking to about reviewing the questions we had to do in class while Mr. Schick was absent. The answers to the questions we had were suppose to come from the CIA fact book. While I was answering the questions I received knowledge however today in class with the conversations Mr. Schick started we learned so much more and thought about it diligently. After this class I came out with more of an understanding of the world and how America compares to the rest of the world. We think 8.1% unemployment rate is pretty bad(which for us is), however there are some countries in the world such as Zimbabwe who have 95% which is utterly disappointing.  America imports the most oil in the world which is no surprise at all however we could be using alternative ways of energy to support our life style. Also we need oil so badly we even buy oil from Venezuala who hates us and they are not secretive about it. They called our president the devil and yet we can do nothing because we need them for oil or the prices would go unbelievably higher. Also we talked about how we could be able to create our own products, but the cost would be considerably higher because in America we have a minimum wage however in other countries there is no such thing and there is so much poverty. In today's class it was fun like usual and it was also very informational and gave me a greater perspective on the world and America.
