The first presentations

Today Chris A. and Matthias present thier projects.

Matthias project was a discussion panel about "The Iraq War". The members of the discussion were:

• Barack Obama (Esra)
• Mohammed Al Sahad - An Iraqi citizen (Christopher)
• Sergeant Major Gerald Wolford - A soldier in Iraq (Percy) 
• George W. Bush (Andi)

Later Chris A. held a speech about "The decline of the West and the rise of he East". At first he said, that Asia was a great power in the Middle Ages, but lost this status to America. Now this effect is in the process of being reversed, because of Globalization and especially due to outsourcing. China produces cheaper and faster than any other country. Later he criticized the western economy and the politicians.

Chris A. put the main emphasis on the ecomonic aspects and talked very slow, but understandable. Furthermore he tries to verify his arguments with many statistics. His pronunciation and vocabularies were sometimes very "german".
