I had the chance to be in China on February 2000, at that time I noticed the work conditions of the place I was working (setting up some textile product production). I had the opportunity to interact with many workers. I could have felt that they were happy doing their labor in the conditions they had. It was not bad it all, they had only four days off per month (assigned by the company schedule). Company provided them an apartment (utilities paid) to live with their families at a walking distance of the factory. Company had a cafeteria where they offer three meals a day (free of charge) for workers and family. After watching the documentary, I just realized that the company I worked for was an exception. I feel glad that the thing changed in favor of the Chinese workers. Very good heart people

This week was particularly difficult at school. The reason is the tragic earthquake in Mexico. We have a few students that came from this country and several of them who keep their roots over there.

One of the countries that sent immediate help to Mexico was Japan. One of the students mentioned something that he hear on the news about how some members of the Japanese emergency team were astonished by the way the Mexican people responded during this time of chaos, destruction and need. They said that the Mexican people were hard working and very helpful towards their own people.  The Japanese also mentioned that they did not understand why Mexico is still a part of the third world countries with such as an amazing, hardworking and caring people. I explained to my Spanish class that the little big difference is the discipline. Last session of this seminar helped me to clarify what I suspected for a long time. Learning about Japan history we can understand that the success of this culture is based in discipline and hard work, rules, values and traditions that keep their people together, moving ahead towards the same direction. New generations have to learn from the good examples of their history. This week was emotionally stressful, but I think I left on those young minds a clear idea of the importance of the discipline, hard work, and ethic values in their lives.

The first two sessions of the seminar (Saturday) show us how the Geography and demographics of east Asia countries Japan, Korea, and China, connect with historical events and the consequences along the years. As a science teacher, it is important for me to show to my students that the relationship cause-effect is not an exclusive concept for the physics and chemistry fields, but also it applies to social events.
