Listened the "Hey, Soul Sister" by Train today, and it was basically only the guys that were truly into it in the end.

NATO forces are now applying the no-fly zone.

talked about a woman who was raped in the Middle East. im going to look farther into the story on cnn.com

went over how the Fukushima reactors are still leaking radiation into the water. also talked about how planktons live in the water, worms eat planktons, fish eat worms, and people eat fish (i actually don't know if that's the true food chain...im just trying to make point...) anyway my point is the radiation is spreading and it could easily make people horribly sick... or it could kill them.

saw a link on how if you were to ask someone 40 years or over if the kids of this generation are better or worse than a decade or more ago. they would most likely say "worse", but according to this one scientist/writer/someone who studies these things, that's the wrong answer. all records that relates to lifestyles such as drinking, taking drugs, looking at bad things on the internet, cyberbullies, and some other bad things about the younger generation, most of the rates are down. 

Took a questionnaire on a Thomas Friedman. it's down here:

 

1. Describe what the “flat world” means before watching the lecture?

In the distant past, people believed the world was flat. no curves, just straight across.
All of the countries being on the same level.

2. Briefly describe Globalization 1.0.

3. Briefly describe Globalization 2.0.


4. Briefly describe Globalization 3.0.


5. What was the Berlin Wall a flattener of the world?


6. What was the importance of Netscape going public on 8-9-95?


7. What is outsourcing/offshoring and why are many Americans opposed to it?


8. Give two examples of “open-sourcing”.

9. What does Friedman mean by “informing”?


10. What are the “steroids” according to Friedman?


11. According to Friedman, how do people need to change in the future to succeed in a “flat world”?


12. Why should young people be concerned with the “flat world”?


13. Define what Friedman means by the “flat world” now that you watched the video.
-the global economic playing field is being flattened

We actually weren't going to get to many of the questions today, so i'll copy and paste the same questions on my daily blog tomorrow. bye!
