I chose to research recently our economy in the U. S. now and compare it to the economy before the Great Depression. I chose this because i wanted to learn whether I, or anyone else could be trouble.  And if we are in trouble how much.

I researched through many databases and google, I found most of my information from news type websites and magazines.  Magazines such as newsweek, U. S. World Report, and others. The main website i follwed was CNN, because of their role in reporting what is happening now it was the most up to date information.

I found that i was able to mostly answer my question, though it can not be 100 percent, i found the general sceme of things.

• Through watching and researching the news i found similarites and differences between our past depression and our current economic problems.  The simialrites which were scary, thankfully are in the process of the government fixing now, in hope of preventing past problems. I also found that there were many different things about of economy now as well. All in all after researching our past with our present i learned that i shouldnt be as afriad as people are reacting.  There are a lot of differences from our past, and the government is trying to help unlike before. I dont think that we have to worry about another depression based on what i researched.  Maybe a recession but not a depression.
