For today's blog I'd like to start out by saying Mr. Schick, I'm sorry to hear about the recent loss of your dog. I'm not a dog lover, but it sucks to lose things that are a big part of you and your family. But it's not that I just don't like dogs. To me they smell bad, jump all over you, and I am very allergic. To me they just aren't a big part of my life like they are to you. I also found it strange that you have had like three stray dogs just come to your door step. Something about you must be very inviting for them. Aside from dogs, we also talked about Jimmy's dad's window candle company. Will Jimmy take over the very successful business? Or be a failure in his dad's eyes? Ahhaahahah totally joking Jimmy! But still sounds like an interesting job. What is also interesting is how he is a big part of this company, but it's not even in the U.S. The candles are being made in China, and shipped here. Why can't we make them? This is how class went today. Looking forward to more class discussion.
Today's class was one of the most interesting ones we've had so far. Today's discussion focused mainly around what thinking globally and acting locally means. What do they mean? An example used in class today was farming. If everyone starting farming for their fruits and vegetables, it would affect grocery stores. Now of course the stores wouldn't go out of business, the fruits and vegetables rate being sold would increase. So in other words, something we did locally would effect globally. But besides this discussion we talked about our thoughts on voting. How more older people tend to vote more nowadays. This brought up the discussion of weather or not the age for kids to be able to start voting should be lowered to age 16. In my opinion, I think at this age we are too young and immature to be asked and vote for political affairs, because honestly everyone would just think the same as their parents. You hear kids arguing politically, but you know it's just them tal...
