Week 5 final post

This week we went to Walmart and learned about the WTO. We also learned about the prisoner game theory and we talked about playing a game this week. We are very interested in playing the game this week and I am looking forward to this.

Walmart Week 3

This week we focused on Walmart. We talked about the cheap labor they have overseas, they also drive out local companies. We discussed how they are able to have such low prices and able to still turn a profit. This was very interesting to me and I enjoyed learning about this. We have also discussed more debt about china and how they are currency manipulators. Really enjoyed learning about all of the Walmart and debt stuff this week.

October 9th-11th

This week we have focused much more on what Americas debt is from. Funny enough, most of our debt isn't even from china, it is from our own country. We also did fight two wars with money borrowed from China. Also the concept of constantly being in debt and it never ending was interesting to think about.

Week Review 9/24-9/28

I really enjoyed what we learned this week. I was really interested in the Tiananmen square protests in 1989. I found this particularly interesting because of the way the government in the United States and china would both act. Also I found it interesting on how Clinton dealt with foreign policy.
