It's not easy to type after pulling an all nighter. You would know about allnighters after being in Thailand ey?
Dear Thor! The essay is meant for university. I follow a diploma programme called the IB (International Baccalaureate). In said diploma I need 50 hours of community service (ophanage work and helping out at fundraisers such as fahion shows and sports days in order to raise money for those infected with the HIV virus, etc), 50 hours of Creativity (Photography Club, Movie Club) and 50 hours of action (hikes, soccer, etc).
Apart from that I need to write an essay (up to 4000 words). As I plan on studying International Business starting next year I wanted to take a look at the bsuiness world, and as economics is closest to business in terms of my course selections at school, I decided on Economics. And since I live in Venezuela, it only made sense to write it on oil.
In regards to your mentioning about coals, etc. I have indeed included this with a diagram, stating what can be extracted, how, and what is most efficient. It's VERY difficult to stay away from politics as the feud with Venezuela and America certainly has not disappeared.
Thanks so much.
