China

In 2008 China had held the 2008 summer Olympics in Beijing. There was a huge controversy over whether they should be able to have them because of the pollution that they have and how crowded it is there. China has a very large amount of people all crowded in a few towns. The government in China has passed a law that says the people are only allowed to have one kid. The government passed this law to help with the over population problem that they are facing. Other than the overpopulation problem and the pollution problem in China i don't really know much about the country. I would hope to later learn a little bit more about it, like the festivals and food that they have.

Mali and the plentimaw fish

Mali and the Plentimaw Fish are like The Three branches of government in our Government. As Mali straightens  the story's the plentimaw fish come and tangle them up. The branches of government act in the same way as Mali and the Plentimaw fish. The legislative branch makes laws, the Executive Branch enforces the laws, and the Judicial branch intepret the laws. The branches have to act according to the other branch.

India

I found it interesting that jenny was writing about the trafficking of women, men, and children into India to be sold and exploited for physical labor, factory labor, working in brick kilns, agriculture, and embroidery factories. I knew a little bit about the trafficking of people but i did not know that Children, specifically, are exchanged between in India to be used as beggars, and forced into terrorist groups.

An interesting fact that Tyrell has informed me on is that in India their life expectancy is very low. Its interesting because the life expectancy is 66.46 years. That is not very old.

 India and Pakistan have been at war for a very long time. India's nuclear weapons tests in 1998 caused Pakistan to conduct its own tests the same year. November 2008, terrorists allegedly originating from Pakistan,conducted a series of coordinated attacks in Mumbai. I find it interesting that Pakistan waited ten years to attack India.
