"Welcome to America. Take a number" describes many of our systems all too well. A reason many people see Americans as ignorant is because people here expect things that are ran by the government to be perfect, yet no one wants to pay for it. We want all these services to ran by the government, yet some push for smalle government all the time. I for one am a socialist, and if i lived in Germany, would support the Social Democratic Party. As stated from the article Malte Lehming "Europe’s bureaucratic nightmares have nothing on America’s.", I believe that this comes from the fact that with higher taxes, the goverment can do a better job at doing its job. With a bigger government, there wouldn't be such drastic differences in how services are ran from state to state. Simply put, if we put more in, we could expect better output.

Welcome to our class blog!

We will be using this blog throughout the semester for two kinds of assignments:

1. Once per chapter, the homework plan will direct you to post a response to the culture readings for the chapter on the blog.

2. Roughly every other week, the homework plan will direct you to post here for your Abenteuer mit Deutsch (AMD) assignment. First you do a fun activity that involves German, then you post about it. You should spend an hour total on this (maybe 45-55 minutes doing something, 5-15 minutes posting about it). See Was ist ein AMD, AMD Ideen and Beispiele for ideas. This should get you excited about the kinds of things you can do!

Whenever you post something, please include your name and the name of the assignment (e.g. AMD2, Kultur5) as labels. See "Blog: How To" for more details!
