situation- notes

Today in human geo we talked about how situation is the location of a place relative to other places. When it comes to situation on a map finding an unfamiliar place and understanding its importance should be what you look for. Some places are important because they are accessible to other places due to their location. Mr. Schick went around and asked some of us where our copybooks came from and most people said from Vietnam. We were discussing how a lot of US merchandise and such are designed here but sent over to Asia for manufactory because the labor laws and pay are less expensive and strict. We learned from one of the exchange students from Beijing, China, Tom, that kids over there could honestly get away with working underage as young as like sixteen years old. The health benefits are also really bad over there and they don't really see it as their problem.
