Today in class everyone presented their projects and presentations along with their group. I learned a lot about different specific projects, such as Levis, different shoes, Mercedes and many more. The overall picture, and big idea I took in was that anything manufactured in China, and sold to the US will be cheaper than if it was made in the US and sold here. I used to think that wasn't the case for somethings, but just about everyone's powerpoint they said something about hoe much more it would be to make it here in the US. Even though some were only a two dollar difference, people would still much rather buy things for as cheap as they come and for the best quality. The reason that manufacturing things in China is cheaper is because the workers dont expect to get paid as much. Since they have been paid so low in all other jobs throughout their entire generations, and so on.

Today in class we worked more on our projects. My group specifically created a poster today, we are also getting further on out power points. Tomorrow we are going to present them to the class and explain more in detail why it is better to buy foreign cars. My group chose three cars to specifically focus on and that is Volkswagen  BMW, and Mercedes. I am very excited to present what we did tomorrow.

Today in class we got into a group with our three other partners we are doing the project with. In that group, we put together either a project. We could've been doing one of three things, a powerpoint, poster, or research. I specifically did research. I researched how much money a particular car, such as BMW, Mercedes and Honda.

Today in class we watched part 3 of the entire video. This was about how the automobils are in China. They are very dangerous compared to America, and other countries. They also have the most fatal, and automobil accidents out of all the countries in the world. When someone is to get into an accident they just exchange information, and money right then and there, instead of going through a court date, and all the other extents we Americans go through. In the movie they compare the police officer to the judge and jury. He debates who is at fault, and how much money is being paid to one another. They do give information to each others insurance companies, but it isn't nearly as much as it is here. The Chinese people are very reckless drivers, and in past time bikes were their form of transportation.
