====Argentina is target for terrorism since they do not have a large army and have little protection against other countries or peoples weapons. Some people of Argentina may have special shelters they can go to incase there is a bombing or an attack. The Argentinian people who do not have the shelters will be left to protect themselves against other things so that they are not hurt.==== ====The United States and Argentina have a very good relationship which means the United States will help Argentina if it comes under attack. There have been many incidences over the past year where Argentina has been victim to explosive devices being set off close to crowds. The people have not been caught for these crimes so they have not had to pay the price for their actions. The police force is still looking for the suspects involved in all the bombings. The people of Argentina are still afraid that the bombers are still out there and will set off more bombs since they have not been caught and brought to justice.==== ====One of the many problems facing the people of Argentina is human trafficking. Human trafficking is when people of the country sell their spouse or children to make money. The family members who are sold become servants to people in different countries and towns. Since they have been sold to these other families they will not see the rest of their family ever again. Another problem in Argentina is drug trafficking. Drug trafficking is when drugs are sold illegally. Another way aspect of drug trafficking is to trade, sell or give away the drugs among their friends and acquaintances. The people are sometimes afraid of what could be outside when they walk out their own front doors.==== ====The Argentinian people are afraid they don’t want to be hurt or die because of something that their government has done. The people are not always very trusting after a bombing happens because they don’t know if they will be hurt also. The government will support different groups that are against terrorism because they don’t want bad things to happen to the people of their country and how it will affect them. The people trust their government officials because they know that they have their best interest in mind and don’t want to upset anyone or hurt anyone or make them mad. That is why Argentina is such a huge target and somewhat of a threat to other countries.==== ====Argentina is target for terrorism since they do not have a large army and have little protection against other countries or peoples weapons.

That is why Argentina is such a huge target and somewhat of a threat to other countries.==== Gender Issues Argentina has fewer gender issues many other places in the world. The people all want the same thing, they want equal rights and for each person to be treated equally. The people of Argentina also want equality when it comes to the punishment for crimes. They do not want to be punished for the same crime another person committed and was not punished. The women are treated with less respect then the men. They often do not get paid the same amount for working the same jobs as the men. The women are still fighting for the right to vote but they have yet to get their chance. The women want to be respected and wanted to be treated the same way the men would be treated but they are treated worse than the men. Argentina does not have a limit on the number of children each family can have so they do not have as many children up for adoption. Argentina does not have a preference of what gender the family should keep but my guess is that they would prefer the girls to go up for adoption. The people are not happy with the government because the majority of those involved in the government are men. Because there are so many men involved in the government the women feel that they do not have many people fighting for them. The women really do not seem to matter because the government and people in other industries will normally choose men for the jobs even if there is a woman better suited for the job. The women have held protests against the government because they are unhappy with the number of women in the government. The women would like to see more women involved in the government, in order to pursue women’s ideas and problems. The women feel they should have the same rights as the men do. There are some men who believe women should have the same freedoms and rights as the men so all people of Argentina can be treated equally. The people prefer to have all the same freedoms but at this point it has not happened. The people wish they could all have the same freedoms, rights, and be paid the same for work. Many times the men are doing jobs that should be done by the women but the women are not allowed the same rights as the men.

China China is the fourth largest country and has the most rural economy in East Asia. Transportation and technology has caused serious pollution in urban areas. In the 1950’s the large government-owned farms bought out small- scale co-ops. Millions of people died because the new farms failed to produce enough food. To modernize the economy China started a free market. China’s government is in control of most of their industries. In the 1600’s China was run by a dynasty which was the ruling family. The first Dynasty was the Shang family. After the Shang family the Zhou family dynasty ruled the country. China has many natural resources which will help with the overall economic growth of China. Some of China’s natural resources include coal, iron ore, petroleum, natural gas, mercury, tin, lead, zinc and many others. China’s Government is a Communist State. China has 23 provinces. Provinces are like states. October 1st is the National Founder’s Day of the Republic of China. China has a President and Vice President just like the United States. The president of China also chooses members to be on the cabinet similar to the United States. The President is elected for a five year term. They have one political party but it is split into five different groups called the Chinese Communist Party. In 2005 after closely keeping their currency value close to the Untied States, China revalued its currency up 2.1% and moved to an exchange rate system. China has about 200 million rural farmers but many have relocated to the city in order to find work. In China they have a “One Child” policy which means their population is growing rapidly so they have put a limit on the number of children that families can have. This would also mean that China is one of the most rapidly aging countries in the whole world. China places a lot of focus on the education of their children. In the past only the children of the wealthy learned to read and write. Children in China today are more likely to learn and write because of the emphasis on literacy. The Chinese government wants to add more energy production to their economy. This would mean more focusing on alternative and nuclear energy. The demand for foreign trade is finally rebounding after the economic down fall. China has faced many problems but it has overcome the majority of them.

Terrisom

In China, Terrorism is a big deal because they don’t want the people of their country to get hurt or be affected by what is going on. Buses and building seem to be the target of bombers in China. The people are always afraid that someone would come and try to bomb them. There have been 3 people shot and killed because they thought that they were trying to bomb them or hurt or harm them in some way. The country they have the most problems with is Russia and at times the country of Georgia. The Chinese people are not happy when acts of terrorism happen because they are worried about the revenge on the people when a group is upset with the government.

An example is the terrorist acts that happened when the Olympics were held in China. During the terrorist act during the Olympics it was suspected that a Chinese person wanted to kidnap all the Olympians. The people had a right to be afraid during this time. When people target the government they often do not think of the civilians that could be impacted by their actions. The Chinese have had to land planes with passengers on board because someone said they had a bomb on the plane. There have been terrorist threats where toddlers have been run over in the street, some have been on purpose and some as accidents.

China poses threats to some countries such as India. India may be threatened by how large China is and because of the strength of their military. The people in China are afraid of their military because it is very large and forceful.

To help with counterterrorism China has met with the United States to discuss how to deal with counterterrorism. The people in China may have bomb shelters so they have a place to go in case there are several bombs or there is an air bombing. If the Chinese were under attack by an air bomb they would need to seek shelter quickly to reduce the number and severity of injuries. Earlier this year there was a bomb planted in a vehicle that went off with three people inside. All three people inside the car were killed and the Chinese government said it was an act of terrorism. The people of China were afraid to get in their cars because they were not sure if bombs were planted in their cars. That is why China is such a large threat and somewhat of a target to other countries.

2. china gets its oil from the middle east countries that produce oil and sell it to other coutnries, china gets their oil this way. i would would consider china is a dependent. china gets its oil from middle eastern countries.

3. the cost of a gallon of gas in china is $2.4. it does not mirror the united states trends becasue they have lower prices for gas then we do.

4. the cost of a gallon of milk in china is $1.32. it has not changes over 5% in the last 5 years. you cant tie the price of a gallon of milk to a gallon of oil or gas. becasue there is a deference in the amount that they pay for each one.

Argentina

1.Argentina's gas prices have risen about 20% sine last year make the yearly price about 6.5% becasue of the rising popultaion. the oil comumed in a day in Argentina is around 580 barrells of oil.

2. Agentina gets it oil from importing from other coutnries and they also drill for oil in their countiy so it helps lessen the cost of gas prices for the people of agrentina. i would say its bouth becasue they import and export oil so that their people and other people get the gas they need. argetnina gets its oil that they import their oil form the middle eastern countires.

4. the cost of a gallon of milk is $5.85. the price in milk has steadly increased by 5% for the last 5 years and now they are hoping it goes down. the price for a gallon of milk compared to a gallon of oil makes the milk look so much more expensive but you need both things so they are willing to pay for them both.

5. the oil reserves are held both privatly and by the goverement. the goverement and privatly held oil reserves have only allowed the workers and the goverement to be allowed near them.

6. the increase in oil production means more money for the goverement and people and that they will most likely rasie soem prices of things but not all of them.

Gender Issues

China has gender issues which favor men over women. The gender issues in China are not major but are something that the country needs to be aware of. Issues that women face include that women do not have the same rights as men. The men have more secure rights then the women do. The government would like to strengthen the social awareness of women’s rights. The women of China are not as highly educated as the men. Another need is help getting a better education system so women may improve their educations. The Government has started to write laws that will help protect the right of the women in China. The government in China wants the women there to feel like they have the same rights as the men do. The Chinese government has been protecting the women’s rights so they will be treated the same way the men are treated. The people want the women to get an education for the same reason the men get an education, in order to help fill increase employment opportunities as they become available. The women are becoming a bigger influence in the society as there in an increase in opportunities for them to work outside the home. By having the women work outside the hom The women are still not treated fairly when they trying to get jobs because a lot of people will still only hire men and will not even second guess a women even if they have a better resume. The women do not think this is fair because they will work just as hard as the men would but the employers do not seem to think that they will work as hard as the men do. The women are often paid less than the men. The women are just now getting the right to vote because they have persuaded the government into letting them be equal to the men. The people all want everyone to have equal rights and everyone to be treated the same. Another gender issue is when the Chinese people see the Ying/Yang Taoist symbol. The people are not fond of the way that the symbol was colored as it separates the men with one color and the women with another color instead of making all the people feel equal and as one. The government is encouraging people to get married late and to have boys and if they have girls to put the girls up for adoption because the boys are much more useful in society.

China Socio- economic Status There are many people in China that are poor because there are so many people in China that there are not enough jobs for everyone to be able to have a job. China has a rule of one child per family and many times people give up their children for adoption because of the law. Many families want to raise boys because they know they will be able to find jobs or help on the farms in the rural areas of China. The child who was put up for adoption would most likely never know who their biological parents are. Many people will are either adopted by families from other countries or will never be adopted at all. The Chinese people would never have given their children up for adoption if they didn’t have to or would take them back as soon as they were sure that they would be able to care for the child. Many parents are unable to get their children back since they have given up all of their parental rights. Many people will be on welfare or food stamps to help them get the food and other products in order to live in China. The people want additional jobs to open up so they are not dependent on the government for them to survive. The Chinese people would rather be able to pay for everything themselves but they are unable to do that. The Chinese would like to see more jobs open up but job opportunities are not available for the people to apply, interview and get the job. The people are really pushing the government officials to create new jobs so that they can be able to support themselves. The people are not happy that the people they elected to support them in the government are not following through with what they said they would do for the country. The elected officials promised they would help make create jobs so the general population can support themselves again. The people are unhappy that they government will not create more jobs in order to get out of debt and pay back what they owe to their country. The people want to be able to send their children to a good school and provide for their children but they do not have the money to do so. They people want to prove the government wrong and are unable to because they won’t create more jobs in order to help the citizens of their country. The people greatly want a change in the way that they live and spend their lives. The general populations of china are looking for ways families can have a better chance of survival in the grim economic times they are living in.

Argentina socio-Economic status

The people in Argentina are very poor. Many people have to have help from the government to make ends meet. The people will do almost anything to get what they need to survive. Many people have to give up their children for adoption because they cannot afford to take care of them and provide things they would need. Families in Argentina are becoming smaller because people are afraid that if they have more children they will not have the means to provide for them. The people of Argentina are trying to fight the government in order to lower prices on many items. The people are also trying to find additional ways to find jobs so that they can help their country and their own families. The people want to be more useful in their communities but are unable to because they cannot afford to do anything. The people are making money any way that they can in order to make ends meet. The people want things to go back to the way they were before the prices on everything went up. People in Argentina are in need of finding odd jobs, but due to a small economy many people need to find them which results in not enough job opportunities. Another aspect of the poor economic times in Argentina is the people are having a hard time finding and purchasing food to feed their families. The people of Argentina are looking for ways to make different products and sell their items different parts of the world. If they can be successful with this it will create a positive outlook for the people of Argentina. The people of Argentina are like families all over the world and want their families to stay together. Due to the poor economic times they are afraid they will need to split their families up which means they would not see their children again. The people of Argentina are looking for ways to help lower costs of food and other products which in turn will lead to a healthier society. Unlike the United States where the majority of people have clean water available in their homes many in Argentina are required to walk miles to get clean water for drinking and cooking. The people want what is best for each other. They will look out for each other and want what is best for the majority of people. The people want to make more money but the government won’t help them create new jobs. If they do get jobs they are paid much less then people who may be equally qualified but have spent less time at the job. The people look out for each other and protect each other from things that can hurt them. The people of Argentina want what is best for each person and sometimes it doesn’t happen or doesn’t happen how it was planned.
