Post #1: What did you do this summer and how can what you did this summer be connected to an important issue?
This summer I was suprised by my parents taking me on a two week vacation to Paris, France. Picture this waking around beautiful France, and admirring the scenery and suddently you notice beyond the landscape, you recognize the people begging for money, hopeless and destitute. This is just the beginning of my trip where evdience of the European economic crisis was evident. France has undergone a huge economic down fall this past 2011 year. They have been contributing to the Greece default that recently happened, and because of the contribution they are losing their economic balance. With the European debt crisis, france has had much problems with stock exchange in Paris fearing that France’s own sterling credit rating could be cut. French banks are being loaded up on the debt of both Italy and Greece, and other European countries that are facing debt problems.
