World Leaders Up Close and Pesonal

To continue last week’s project, today in class we learned more about these world leaders.

    Brazil’s leader President Dilma Rousseff runs a federal republic office. She was divorced twice. She also has a degree in economics. This is the reason why Brazil has the 8^th biggest economy. She also was imprisoned for going against the government when she was younger. She had chemotherapy in 2009. This means she’s had 2 near death experiences.

     The president of China, Xi Jinping leads a communist office. He is the son of revolutionaries. He is also married to a popular folk singer who was more popular then him before they were married. His daughter is enrolled in Harvard.

    President Francois Hollande, of France also runs a republican office. He had no previous government experience. He would be as you could say the “antidote” to the last flamboyant president. He is not married to the mother of his 4 children.

    In Germany Chancellor Angela Merkel leads a federal republic government. She has a degree in physics and a PhD in quantum chemistry. She has been chancellor for about 20 years and one of FORBES most powerful woman for about 8 of them.

    Next we have India. President Pranab Mukherjee was a college professor. He was also a journalist and now he is one of the best politicians in the world. He knows finance and politics.

    In Israel the Prime Minister, Netanyahu, who runs a parliamentary democracy is from Israel. He spent a lot of time in the US. He sent a message in his time of power NOT to mess with Israel.
