The fiunal presentation

Today we listened to the final presentation in the groups.  this final presentation was on an extremely crippled nation, Somalia.  this country suffers from large amounts of piracy, and other things that seriously hurt their economy.  It was very interesting to me to hear about the ships that are getting hijacked and boarded by people on small motorized rafts that can take entire ships and hold them for ransom at incredibly high rates.  It seems that all that would need to be done is have soldiers posted around a ship with long-distance rifles to sink the pirate boat.  Their other nation was Japan.  The problem that they identified with this nation was that there are not enough young people to do strenuous labor like construction.  Their method for fixing this problem was to give tax breaks, and spread pro children propaganda.  this was essentially the opposite of what China did to stop people from having too many children which shows that it might work.
