Movie

Today in class we were watching the rest of the movie we have been watching. There is on lady in the movie where her and her husband combined make a total of $600 per year. Most of this money is spent on their child's education. The father does not think it is worth the money or needed because since they are paying for a GIRLS education, she is never going to grow up to be able to own her own business or get a big job because she is a girl. In China, girls still get treated differently then men. This shows the poor side of China, but on the other hand there was a family who lived in Chongqing who had a almost mansion of a house and could afford very expensive furnishings like sofas from name brands, and other things too. Then we learned about how dependent the United States and China are on each other. We take very simple products like cotton witch is grew in North Carolina then sent to China to be made into fabric or threat, then sent back to the states to be made into clothing, furniture, etc. If we were to ever go to war with China, which i very unlikely, the United States could be in potential trouble. At the same time however, people over here in the states kind of want us to stop going to China for help and buying from them even if the prices of our goods went up. Many believe this is what we need to do to strengthen our economy.
