Today at the begining of CWI we went over the United States map again preparing for our test on the ninth. We will also be having another test coming up soon, but Mr. Bruns didn't tell us when it will be for sure. After that Mr. Bruns gave his presentation on Socialism. I learned that Socialism means that the government owns and controls businesses. I learned that 9.7% of Americans don't have jobs because of the economy. Usually during good times its around 3%. Indicators of the economy is getting worse are big sales for companies. I thought it would be the other way around and the prices would go up. Another indicator is that housing sales are very bad. Nobody is buying houses, and they aren't being built.Justice and Becca gave their presentation on Capitalism. Capitalism is when businesses are privately owned and opperated by civilians. Mexico and the United States are examples of a country with Capitalism.
