Today in class we focused on the second assignment you had posted last night on where everyday items are made. The results were that most items were not made in America but made in Asian or other less developed countries. Even the companies that are based in America had their products made overseas. We concluded that this is because companies find it cheaper to make their products in other countries because they do not have to pay for their employees minimum wages. Companies also don't have to pay for healthcare and other necessities that American workers have. This makes it cheaper for them even though they have to ship their products across oceans. In class we used Jimmy's dad's company for an example. Jimmy told us the reason that his dad uses factories overseas is because it would be much too expensive to pay an American factory to do the same job.
Toady in class instead of reviewing the test we read and took notes on the next three sections. The first section was on the Rise of Christianity and talked about how Jesus' teachings spread. The most important reason they spread was because his teachings brought salvation to all. Christianity was a vision that a Roman emperor had before he went into battle. They won the battle and he made it so Christians would no longer be persecuted.
