Pangea

home        My Facebook homepage seems like the distant past, as MSN now pops up every time I click on Internet Explorer. MSN provides to me all the latest news stories from around the globe (and did I mention I can also check my horoscope? I’m Pisces…)

       I never realized my ignorance for global issues until I started Business Fundamentals 101, I figured, if a story was something really important, I would eventually hear about it from other people. I also didn’t realize I would be so interested in so many different issues. Of course I’m in business, but that doesn’t mean Google Finance is a tabbed favourite.

    I never really considered the serious health risks that lead-laced products pose to people, let alone the health risks any product can pose to a baby, teenagers or senior citizen. This morning, the first headline I read was about how Graco had to recall 1.5 million baby strollers. Knowing the article related to a previous class, I read it… and I liked it.

    I recognize how well rounded this course is in terms of the various business options, but I never realized it would truly open my eyes to the world around me, and that is what I believe I will take away from this course.
