microsociety journal week 1

scarcity

Today,we were learning about microsociety and scarcity for three hours.Before, lunch we were planing a name for our city in the class, along with thinking of a flag for our country on our table. Then in lunch break some people came back to class to draw the tables flag officially on some paper.When it was the end of break we were listening to a story about scarcity(which means not enough ). After we had a game that you had to make shapes with the objects you had your, our table did trading as we had nothing to cut with. We did really badly as we did not have the supplies we needed to win.We loooked at the wealth of each country and found that USA has alot more money than Africa put together.

Last but not least, our class voted on who had the best flag and name on each table. We were first looking at the flags, my one had a funny face with red hair and over all we won. Then we looked at the names , coming second we did not win but it was very close. Next week , we are focusing on our class currents.
