People's republic of capitalism!

We have been watching a movie called “People’s republic of Capitalism” and we have been taking notes on the movie. I will just talk a little bit about the notes I have taken. People in China believe that girls should not be as well educated as boys, this was what one woman being interviewed was talking about, also she talks about how she makes all of the money in her family; she harvests lotus roots and she carries about 120 pounds worth of them to the market to sell by herself and she, along with the other people who do this only get about 3 American dollars for them. She gets about ten dollars a week and that comes to about 570 dollars a year. Half of this money goes to her child’s education and the other half goes to other necessities for her family.  The next person to be interviewed is Dr. Jung, he works in China and his family lives in America. He is currently searching for a cure for aids and some of his work has moved onto human trials, he works for NIH. Dr. Jung’s children go to high school in America and he has a house there also, he wanted his children to grow up in a non-communist place. Also he has his own lab in China and he does this because everything is cheaper than in America, he has a better deal in China than in America.  We also talked a little about how there a lot of interdependence is going between China and America.
