Do you guys also sometimes say something so absurd that even if you are alone in a room, with no one to see, your head drops and and the embarassment of your own words make you blush and cringe?

Economia do Japão

Mesmo com seus aliados (Alemanha e italia) derrotados a guerra no pacifico continuou até que levaram bomba atômica na bunda (Hiroshima e Nagasaki) e assinaram o tratado de paz, perdendo a guerra. A guerra acabou com 80% das indústrias e infraestrutura do país.

Sem contar que o território japonês é pequeno (do tamanho do mato grosso do sul), fazendo a agricultura do país escassa, e dependente de importação!

Mesmo assim, em 2018 Tóquio liderou a lista de cidades mais inovadoras do mundo, superando Londres e Nova Iorque.

Então vem a pergunta: como eles se tornaram a terceira maior economia mundial?

 A resposta é;

· Eles desmilitarizaram o país e viraram democratas. (economizando dinheiro que seria gasto em despesas militares já que agora eram limitados a uma baixa capacidade militar)

· Disciplinados e com vontade de trabalhar reergueram o japão pós guerra, em 1951 (apenas cinco anos depois) o japão já teria se recuperado completamente. Em 1960 o japão teria triplicado sua capacidade industrial.

· Dotados de um bom sistema educacional, eles são muito inteligentes. Já que nos últimos anos quem nos apresentou o DVD, celulares com câmera, baterias de íon e lítio, notebook/laptop e impressora 3d, foi o Japão.

Resumindo, eles estavam nadando no dinheiro nos anos 80.

Graças ao Japão nós hoje temos Sony, Panasonic, Nintendo, Nissan, Honda, Toyota e muitas outras.

About England

Have you ever heard “if you ask a doctor, a philosopher and a homeless man, each will give you different answers”? I’m here to say it does matter too where those people are from.

If we ask Wikipedia, “England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom.” And even gives you the earliest known evidence of human presence in the area.

if we turn to the internet and try to ask strangers… well, we are probably going to get front-to-front with some unsolicited dick pics and insults… not judging (if you are into that type of stuff).

if you were to ask me, I would probably be so vague as to tell you “it is a place”. But remember, this is not a cousin to annoy, this is school work so I have to get “serious”, sadly.

I was so bold as to go into the internet, and experience unpleasant people (and some gentle souls, which is quite unusual) and ask “what do you know about England?”, now don’t judge me, it’s not laziness to hop from website to website, but rather a boredom who single handedly gave me a story to tell, knowledge and trauma, which is… not that bad, actually I have been through worse.

Well, at my adventuring into the dangerous internet, I actually met a very nice man from Dubai, and what did he have to say you ask? He said England is a “good country” very developed, nice people and high quality at living! And I would like to give context to that!

The Industrial Revolution began in Britain in the late 1700s and made very dramatic changes in manufacturing. Great Britain being the cradle of the industrial revolution where by the mid o the 18th and part of the 19th century British-made goods dominated world trade, becoming the world’s largest manufacturer for a limited amount of time. Which explains how they became so rich, which explains why the nice man said high quality at living! (I cannot explain the “nice people” part tho.)

A girl from Hong Kong who had just moved to England and her friend gave me some… interesting facts about living there. They said there “rains all the time”, there is “a lot of old people”, and a lot o “road man” (which I did need google to understand).

About the climate I can say it is maritime, moist and temperate, with a moderate annual temperature range. Which (for me) does seem considerably good.

About the “lot of old people” I can say it is the time where the population have been the oldest! They did too mention that a good amount of the youngest generation is met at the capital of England (London).

About the “roadman” it did confuse me because I never ever have heard that word at all... But i can say roadman does refers  to a teenager, who involves themselves with smoking weed, lack of education, and are found (stereotypically) wearing dark jean pants […] and a puffer jacket.

I end it here… I wish you a good day teacher Pedro!
