comparing the nations

This week in econ class we learned a lot about GDP and the economic health of different nations. We made a chart looking at all of the different GDPs and debts and poverty lines and unemployment rates of different countries. It was interesting to look at and compare the countries. You could also find a pattern in some counties GDPs and debts. Also we are learning about how 1 Billion people live on less than $1 a day. The videos we watched about the college kids who went to live in Guatemala really put everything in Perspective. Also the videos showed the idea of micro financing, which gives hope to people living in poverty.
