The Google Earth Project 26/11/2013

For the past week, we have been practicing using google earth. We learned how to create a tour, bookmark places, snapshot current views and learn how to adjust the timing. All this was done to be able to teach the 2nd grade class how to use Google Earth. Today, we went down to the 2nd grade classroom and we were assigned kids to work with. I was working with a kid who loved Thailand and thats what she made her tour about, we visited places such as Temples and Parks within Chiang Mai and Bangkok. Overall, this was a great experience, the kids were very smart and learn fast, sometimes even correcting my mistakes. This was also a learning experience for me because it allowed me to improve my weaknesses, that of which is patience.

China ends it's one child policy.

In what ways is China's newest population reform an example of another attempt at controlling the demographic make-up of the country ?

China introduced it's one child policy in the 1970's to deviate from rapid population growth. However, China has now relaxed its one child policy, allowing couples to have at least two children. The reason behind this is because political leaders fear that the country's ageing population will affect the working force, therefore reducing income. Political leaders also fear that by sticking to the one child policy, it will greatly affect taking care of the elderly.
