The future of Japan changed Sunday when voters ejected the established political party. Voters felt dissatisfied with the Liberal Democratic Party because of their country's record unemployment and deflation, problems the succeeding Democratic Party of Japan has promised to fix.

I like seeing that someone else chose to do an international story summary, I think that world affairs are so intriguing. Maybe just because I feel too many people don't care about them as much. I enjoyed reading this. Do you know which political party the people of Japan want?
ReplyDeleteI feel as though Japan is one step ahead of us and if something does not change we may be headed down the same path. I know that seems really negative but that is how I feel.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to know what's going on in other parts of the world, especially if they are changing politically. I'm curious to see if the united states will be affected by any changes made in the east because they are a rather large influence in the business world.
ReplyDeleteIn response to Carissa's question, when I said "the succeeding Democratic Party of Japan", I meant that that was the party the Japanese had elected. Sorry if you misunderstood. I hope I was clear enough.
ReplyDeleteThank you for reviewing this article, it was a good review. It is always interesting seeing people go against the established norms in hope of a better future. Hopefully they will see the change they are hoping for.

ReplyDeleteHannah, the word "succeeding" is confusing here and isn't a good choice. The sentence could have been worded differently to be clearer.
Nice job, that was an article that I would not have chosen although your summery made me want to read more. There were just a few wording things that could have been changed.
