Today in class (day 48)

Today in class we watched a different part of the People's Republic of Capitalism. This part was mainly about automobiles and how new it was new to China.  Before the cars came to China, everyone rode bikes around to get to work, their houses, and even to buy food. Since cars have not been around very long in China, not that  many people know how to drive. People in their 30s, 40s, and 50s are just learning how to drive. Many accidents occur in China because of this, even 100 per day. Also many people in China can not afford a car because most of them are so poor. The only thing many Chinese people save up for is a car, so that it is easier to get around places and be more independent and not rely on  buses. Many farm workers have to haul their items to a bus stop and take it to town. It is very difficult for them because the items are very heavy and hurt their arms. They also make very low money so it will take them awhile to save up for a car.
