digital access

I plan on doing digital access to inform about people who can not afford the internet This is when not many can even experience. It is shocking that the United States, being the most powerfullest country in the world, has the slowest internet and most expensive digital access.

PSA reflection

2)I will pass this class. I will not fail at something  I am good at.

WORLD GEOGRAPHY OUTLINE 10/25/11

I)    Slums are poor outskirts or centers of major cities in many developed and undeveloped countries. They are filled with people who were pushed from their farms and better lives along the border because of war and poverty, seeking a better life in the major cities, hoping to get good jobs, and the central part of the country. Slums are filled with people that are poor and the roofs of many homes atre rusted.Each shack is filled with many people, and most of the time with more than 1 family.The people there are known as slum  dwellers because they live in slums, can only afford to live in slums, and they lo0st a better life. One of the largest slums in the world is in Korabi, India.
II)The people who are to blame is the corrupted govn. of that country. Those who are to blame in the major developed countries, those who are to balme is mostly the govn. Those who are to blame is not enough jobs to support the population, but in some cases, as in the United States, because of conflicting govn. parties,such as the Democratic and Republican Parties, and it is difficult to get back on track,and mostly, lots of people are picking for elections those who are with lots of money, and this conflict and unable to make a decision to save a country. If they do not work together, they will only hurt the country an d take it from its height of power.Thus, with no agreement, few jobs can be produced.
III)   Another reason top blame for slums is nature itself. 1 of the greatest gifts of nature is farming. But in area's where the land is very poor to farm, there is little food that can be produced, and since food is scarce the price on food is very high, and in less developed countries, people can only afford cheap foods, and maybe not the vegtables and fruits that are healthy to people. Thus, with no farming, there are less jobs,especially if the govn.  is corrupted.
IV)    For the 3rd and final balme,to defend this point,some countries may have many natural resources, but little amounts of these resources. Mining supplkies most of tyhe jobs in many of the countries around of the world. The produce of mining is taken to a mill, where it is processed, opening more jobs, and at last, the processing, such as steel, is taken to a factory, where many jobs are supplied, more than in any place. If a country does not have enough natural resources, then there are very few jobs.
V)    As stated in I, slumdwellers are called slumdwellers because they live in slums, are poor, and can only afford to live in slums. Thus, in countries wiith not many jobs, or enough, anyone can expect to find many slums around many major cities.
