World leader facts.

Today in class we took turns sharing different interesting facts we found out about the world leaders we have been dealing with for a couple of days now. Some of the notes i took during class are:

World Leaders.

·         The form of torture used in Brazil is called the parrot perch.

·         Dilma experienced Coup d’état, meaning she’s trying to over throw the government.

·         Enrique wanted to broaden the economy and create more jobs. He wrote a book about it.

·         Queen Elizabeth has lived through 12 U.S presidents.

·         Afghanistan has a lot of caves, mountains, and crevices.

·         Taliban was in charged before the president.

·         Karzai has lasted at least 4 assassination attempts. He’s from Afghanistan

·         When Chavez was a young man he tried coup d’état and got arrested and put in jail or 2 years.

·         Hu Jintao is head of communist party in China.

·         Hu’s biggest accomplishment has been turning china into a huge economic power right now.

         Some of the leaders we have been looking at, at one point made an attempt to over throw their government. Some of them ended up going to jail for a short amount of time. Also i learned that Afghanistan has many political issues going on in their county. For example, they have many gangs that have done things to people who live there, like the girl we discussed who got shot in the head because she though that in Afghanistan girls should be able to receive a good education just like the boys. Lastly I learned that the leader of Saudi Arabia is getting older. When he dies, if one of his 30 children dont take over, the Unites States could be in big trouble. Since we get oil from them, if we are no longer able to we will probably end up going to war with them about it.
