[4Savanna]

We started off class by Julie taking her states and capitals test.Then we went over all of them as a class.Then we moved onto current events.Ghadafi moved the capital to his hometown. However, its really not the capital except to him because he is no longer in control of Lybia. He was also talking about how we will not find him and that we will slowly draw out and he will regain power. He is claiming that this is an imperialstic thing. Meaning that a bigger country, The United States, is trying to take over his country. He believes if he tells his people this that they will turn on the United States and that his people will listen to him again if he can convince him that we are being imperialistic. This is like when Bin Laden was telling all of his people pretty much this same thing. However, this is not the truth because we are actually helping the rebels not trying to take the country over. When we just recently went into his house and found papers of secrets that we did not about such as him killing people and that he was involved with some terrorist attacks.Then, we started talking about Michelle Bachman and how she is now facing complications in Iowa in her running for presidental cantidate. They are saying that she is not very well about hwo she is not very good about answering questions. However, her people say that she is great at that and its not just her advisors telling her what to say and what not.We looked at the cantidate polls.Ecinomic IndicatorsStocks have been dropping. The DOW JONES in particular.Inflation and deflation in prices.Unemployment Rate. - In August there was no job growthCycle - Company loosing money > Lay people off > People not spending money.Then we moved into our population powerpoint.developed would be like the united states and a developing one is like some african countries.developed countries usually have good infrastructure while developing countries do not.infrstructure is like transporttation systems, healthcare, schools, and communication systems.most developed countries have good natural resources. developing ones have ususally one and that is not good.people die at a much younger age in developing countries because they do not have very good healthcare.
