China
(A reflection on the presentation of Wednesday, 20)
I have always known that China was an upcoming economic power. I did not expect it to be so “far” along as it is now. The presentation really opened my eyes to just how modernized china has become. I have always envisioned it to be small huts lined up in a row with hundreds of children making Nike tennis shoes.
I also thought that no matter where you went it would be crowded, like New York, except of course if you went out in to the middle of no where. One of the most interesting facts that was brought up, was concerning the number of major cities that have been established in China, also that there are major businesses such as McDonalds and GM over in China. The presentation was incredibly insightful and interesting.
The only complaint I have is that it was not very well organized; they also had continuous problems with the software they were using. As if they did not know how to work it. When you are making a formal presentation you better rehearse the information until the point you memorize it and you better know how to use the software you are presenting it with. The information in the presentation was interesting but the presentation itself was rather poor almost elementary.

This is Nasko and I agree with you about the presentation. Some of the information that was shared also surprised me. China has a lot of history that is very interesting. This presentation changed my view on China a little bit. It showed me that there was more to china than just cheap products and environmental pollution.
