Industrialization

Today in class, we discussed more about the population pyramids. I feel like after we talked more about the whole idea, I better understand what it means and how to properly read a population pyramid and what information you can collect from them. We also talked about industrialization which means what some countries are going through. For example China may still be in the pre-industrialization stage because they make so much for the world and even more the US alone. Whenever you look at what you've bought, it seems like everything is almost always from China. They are a really good developing country and they make many successful products that can be popular all around the world. I was thinking about where my macbook was MADE today. Not designed or anything of that nature. I meant where the factories are in this world and the locations of where they actually make the computers. I looked at the bottom of my computer and it said that it was made in China or assembled. It was designed in Apple in California. Those are two totally different meanings when it comes to who or what country actually made it. China does seem to create many things in the world and that's probably why it could be one of the richest countries one day. Maybe not as close to the money we have and the opportunities we offer, but they get lots of money from not only the US for products but also other countries. China I think also is just better at doing that job anyway. I feel like we as a country don't really have the right tools or environment to have all these factories anymore these days. We are over with industrialization and now we are in the post stage of it. Back in the days, we did make a lot of things such as steel, where we had one of the best industries in the world. Now we kind of like to design things much more than to actually make them.
