Mr. McClung
My name is Dillon Rogers. I am in Dr. Strange’s EDM310 class at the University of South Alabama. I think this is an interesting look at our economy compared to others. I did not realize that China’s population was so high! I noticed that China’s population was higher than the US but the US was still the “leading industrial power in the world”. Something that was even more interesting was to see that the US and China were the only countries who were technologically advanced.
I was always a decent Social Studies student throughout middle and high schools, but I wish I knew then what I know now, and I wish I had as much interest in various studies then as I do now. Besides being interesting to compare global forms and examples of economies, such a study is good for our country’s young people, considering they are going to be helping to solve lasting economics problems of the country. I commend you and your students for being so eager to learn and to make your teaching materials available online.
