The Nonsimplicities of Trade


Trade is not as simple as it seems. There are many things that stop trade from happening, or make it difficult to trade. When trading, people use a system of exchange, called currency. People can use different forms of currencies to trade with. You might use money as a form of currency, or maybe use another good as a form of currency, but if you give nothing in return it isn’t trading anymore. Some natural barriers that resist trade are mountains and deserts. There are many good and bad things about trade. Sometimes trade is used for the wrong reasons. Slaves are examples of bad things to trade with other countries. Trade can also cause problems, especially if there is a problem with a transaction, or misusing the fact that you can buy stuff from other countries that may not be legal in yours, like fireworks. It’s not only bad things though, there are also plenty of good things to trade with other countries. One good thing about trade is that it lets countries experience things they usually wouldn’t have. Trade can also cause globalization, which is a worldwide society.

The Renovation

The Renovation

The bunny poked it's little pink nose just above the surface of the ground and ran under the picket fence leading to the ripe garden. When he was under the fence he saw a vicious worm. The worm swallowed him whole, and the bunny rolled down a dark slimy path, until alighting into a bunch of stomach acid. The confused bunny wondered what he was standing in as the mush started to burn his fur. The bunny was sullen and he thought that the experience was interminable. He was thinking that he had to give a foretaste to all the other animals about this vicious worm. So the bunny started climbing up the worm’s throat, his fur still trickling stomach acid. The disrupting rumbling of the worm’s movement made the bunny collapse back down to the acid. He groaned in frustration, and hurtled himself back out of the acid. The bunny was admiring the purplish glow of the worm’s throat. He said to himself "this place needs a renovation! It's gross in here!" Then the bunny decides to abort his mission. He takes out his feather duster, and starts tidying up the humdrum worm throat.
