The Miniature Earth

My mom just sent me this video clip called "The Miniature Earth." It's only about 3 minutes long, so take a look. It's amazing what you'll see!!! 

I believe this video clip has an impact on us as future educators. Even though it doesn't directly involve teaching, it opens our eyes to all of the aspects to what will make up our classrooms someday. It's very interesting.

This video was absolutely amazing. I cant even imagine the statistics it stated in it. I believe that this video should be shown to every American because it would definitely teach our society a lesson about being materialistic. The statistics about money and physical conditions really surprised me because I never realized they are that severe. I was also very interested by the religious statistic to think that only 1/3 of the world is Christian when so much of it speaks English really broadens my horizons. I think an interesting statistic to include would be the number of languages spoken. Thanks to your mom for sharing this with us.
