I learned that alot of countries are very small. When I did my project on Kuwait and I found out it was about the size of NJ, i thought that my country is going to be the smal;est. I think it was the smallest but there was one other that was very close to KUwait's size becaise it was said to be slightly bigger than NJ.

I learned that most countries problems are based on war, hunger or deseases that people dont have the money for. most of the countries i found were unknown to me. i never knew that some even existed. an itersting fact i found was that in Samalia the crisis about the contanimated water. i've alredy knew about the same problem in that country several years ago. it was said that a highschool student made a fountian in the middle of a village so they could have fresh water and that he is working to put it in all the villages in africa. im surprised that the crisis is still isnt fixed.

I learned that some countries may be very small on the map but can be very rich.

i have learned a few things about every country from this assignment. I also realized that many countries have economic issues. As Jessica mentioned, there's war and poverty, that causes problems. It seems like there are very few people who care about the situations. It sort of reminds me of To Kill A Mocking bird because when the african american people would have problems it seemed like Atticus and a few otheres were the only ones who really cared and wanted to help. Others would just concentrate on themselves and wouldnt want anything to do with what was happening. That seems to be going on all around the world in most countries and almost all the time.

i have learned alot of new things about every country that was presented today. I also realized that many countries have problems getting money. Poverty and war strongly affect on this. Not many people care though. Even though every country had some down sides, every country is also unique and special. Each country believes in something, has traditions, and its own culture and beliefs. I learned so much about the world i only two hours. The assignment was great

I learned that there were many countries that I didn't know like Somalia,Yemen,and other countries that I can't name. I didn't even know that Somalia even existed!!! I also learned that most countries have the same problem like desertfication, famine, and contaminated water.

I learned that some of the other countries are much more poor than we are and don't even have a middle class so it makes me thankful to live here

I learned that some countries eat most of the same foods as us.Like wheat and chocolate.Most countries have a religion.They even have the same religion.Such as Muslim and Christian.Some of these countries seem like they don't have a lot of money.Here in America everyone has a different job like police officers,teachers,broadcasters,and so much more.In Uzbekistan,there is only one job everyone does.They sell resources from the earth.You can see their poor because they all do the same job and not a job that can make a lot of money.

`Today I learned alot about countries i never herd of such as Aire or Bosnia but those are just some of the countries i never herd of. I enjoyed
presenting my work. I worked very hard on coming togather with all the information and putting it into a presentation understandable for my peers. I felt good about myself after presenting and would ask to do it again. I walked out of that auditorium informed about unknown countries`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

I learned about countries i never knew about. It was great learning about Ethiopia, Berma and more.
The country I enjoyed learning about the most was Pakistan. Although I've heard of the country before.

I think it was a really good idea to to these kind of project becuase you get to know about the countries that you never heard of and you get to know what you never knew about a country. I learned that more than 1 billion people lives in china and that Japan's native food is Ramen and Sushi (i always thought Japans native food was udong) Also i learned that a lot of countries that are in South America's median age, less than 30 years old and women lived longer than men.T learned that South Korean people are called "Upper class" and the North Korean people are called the "Lower class". I knew that the Noth Korean were poor becuase of their president but I never knew South Korean people were rich people even if I am South Korean.
