First Covid-19 vaccine candidate trial begins in Australia - Australia, July 2, 2020
Summary: Due to the coronavirus pandemic, countries are struggling to get the economy back up and running. In this case, South Africa’s government is requesting an expansion on its nuclear power plant, but without the money, they are not able to afford it to make it happen. Unfortunately, due to this being the first article posted on this topic, I am unable to talk about why they want to extend their power plant. This is caused by the hard times South Africa is experiencing right now, actually, the whole world. Geography Theme: Human-Environment interaction is the theme of this article. Humans interacting with their environment in order to try to get an item. Geography is a part of this by us interacting where this specific request in this case. In this case, the location is South Africa. As mentioned in the article, it is taking place in South Africa. In conclusion of this paragraph, location is what is important about this article if you bring in geography to it. Reaction: My thoughts on this article are that why can’t other countries help with things of need for other countries? I know the world is going through some hard times and we must all help each other to get through it together. This affects me because it hurts my feelings about how other countries in this world are suffering from financial problems. South Africa one day will get their economy back up and running, but it is just going to take a lot of time to make it happen. In conclusion of this paragraph. The expansion on the nuclear power plant is going to have to wait. Connections/Analysis: I connect this article to economic structures because, during this time, it is hard to get what you want because of low income or poor lack of government money. This connects with world history because maybe one day, this will become a day that will be one of Africa’s major conflicts. If they are requesting an expansion on their nuclear power plant, that must be important because to extend one of those is risky to the people living in that environment. In conclusion, we will have to wait to see what comes of this since it is only the first day of it being posted on the news. Bibliography/Citations: Burkhardt, P. (2020, June 14).
