Erin Burnstine Period 8 Greece


Great Greece
By: Erin Burnstine
My country is Greece. It is located in Europe. I have learned a lot about Greece. The three things I learned the most about where government, economy, and history. I think that Greece's government has a good set up but I don't like how the president is just head of state and not head of government. I also don't think they should have a prime minister because the president could just do that job because they basically have the same job. Greece's government is similar to ours because they have a president just like us. But their government is different because they have a prime minister and we don't. Greece also has a lot of debt. I think they should not result to a bunch of budget cuts at once and do a little at a time. Greece also had to take multiple loans from the European Union and The International Monetary Fund. Their economy is similar to the our economy because we are both in debt. The summer travel to Greece was even affected by the money issues. I think America manages their money issues better than Greece because America's summer travel was not affected by their money issues. The most interesting thing I learned about Greece's history was Greek mythology. I really like Greek mythology except that the king of all gods and goddesses is married to his sister. But that was the only thing I didn’t like. I thought all the gods and goddesses were very interesting, and I liked how they each had a different thing that they were the god or goddesses of. I really enjoyed learning about the country Greece.

  1. Hi Erin,

    I also heard that this summer travel to Greece was impacted due to the money issues that they have there. It seems as though they have come up with a solution to assist their money issues...

    2. Erin,
      I'm so glad you talked about the debt in Greece. It's a horrible situation and my hope is that they get it together soon. I have friends who traveled to Greece this summer and it was not a good situation. The EU has stepped in-but let's hope Greece is able to turn it around. It's such a beautiful country! Well done on the blog. Can't wait to hear you present!
