"Hey! I got 10 extra cents": Alexa's enthusiastic response as she compared her own peso and 10 cents to the 5 other people who only had a peso.
Today we did this activity, were we used pesos to represent the distribution of wealth in our country. Through it, I somehow became attatched to the 10 pesos I was holding (yeah, i was rich). Anyhow,our reactions after we each received our assigned quantities were very representative of the real world. As the "richest" guy said, "yei, I'm a politician" or Ana Paula (who was poor) attempted to steel my peso, i realized how screwed-up our country was (no offense intended).

Es cierto lo que Maite dice y hoy le hicimos ver algunos que en la vida no se escoge si se va a ser rico o pobre. Nacer en una familia rica o pobre es por suerte.

En nuestro pais 20 porciento de la poblacion posee el 80 porciento de el producto interno bruto. Medio injusto no?
