People's Republic of Capitalism 5
Today in class, we continued to watch the third part of "The People's republic of Capitalism". Mr. Schick wasn't here today, so we used one of the students computers to watch the movie. During the video, we kept getting ads and pop-ups, and it was very hard to pay attention to the video. we also heard the sounds and noises of the ads, so the ads blocked out the sounds of the video itself. The owner of the computer went up to it one or two times to try to close them, but they just kept appearing when she sat back down. About 10 more minutes into the video, the substitute of the class told us that we should switch computers out. The new computer was a lot faster, and I didn't see a single ad appear during the video. However, during the time of the video when the first computer was displaying it, I did not get much information. I remember in the video that there were many cars in China that were American brands of cars, like Ford and General Motors. Also, there are reasons why America doesn't have China-made cars on its roads. First of all, the looks of some of the cars do not appeal to all Americans. And two, the way Chinese cars are made does not meet Americas safety regulations.
