The 21st Century

     Today in class we reviewed our CIA Factbook questions from yesterday. History is changing every instant. Someone is being born, someone is dying, the population is constantly changing, countries are growing, and history is almost instantly outdated. Technology is rapidly growing in many countries, but some other countries that is not the case. Also, many countries depend on one another for the transporting of goods like oil and many, many other things that we get from China. We learned that the reason we buy good from China is because it is a lot more cheaper if we were to make them nd sell them. That is because the minimum that someone can be paid in the US is 7.50$ an hour. So if we were to have people make the goods they would be sold at a lot higher price because some of the price is based off of the payment of the workers. But in China, there is no legal payment amount. This means they can do the job for a much more cheaper price.
