Today in class we continued to watch the movie in class and also we saw how these people over in China only make about $4dollars a day. And compare it americans we make about $20 dollars working on a assembley line.And we saw how americans tear aa building down by blowing it up. And the chinese break a building down peace by peace. looking for valuabe peaces of rocks in it. We also saw how 80% of walmart products are made in China. Also the woman lost her job because the company was moving to china and she is having trouble finding one and the most of the bussines is moving to China because the labor and work there is very cheap
