FOCUS ARTICLE

Article 5: "Global Arms Sale Dropped Sharply in 2010 Studies Show" NYTimes - Thom Shanker

My focus article this week is about the Guns Sale throughout the world and about the total amount traded went down this year from 65 billion to 40 billion. Although even with this cut American still bought the most by buying 21 billion worth of arms. Russia came in second but purchasing 8 billion, and India in third with 7 billion bought. Some people think its due to the economy, but hopefully its about wars stopping. This topic relates to Human Geography because when one country buys a weapon they can choose to attack other countries with that weapon and that could affect the production of food or other resources and make prices go up just from one purchase.
