In this unit i learned that the world trade Organization helps to improve trading among countries all around the world . I found it really interesting that Because of some countries conditions and living styles can affect other countries. For example Africa has such low income and is suffering because Europeans and Americans are selfish for goods . I can connect what i learned in class to science class because I can also see how lifestyles change all around the world , especially when we study Bio diversity . What surprised me in this unit was how some countries could be madeoroken by others actions . Also how because of economic globalization there are child workers . For this unit I don't think I'm having any major difficulty's . One question I have is how come something like sweatshops cause so many issues but can be so helpful at the same time . On strategy I found very helpful to remember terms is the word wheel . The word wheels pretty easy you just need to know your terms in order to do it properly . Take your first and second word from the list in any order you like . And connect them together by explaining how they relate to each other .
Part B: Free Trade
Free Trade is a system that allows traders to trade among other countries and nations without government trade barriers .NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement is basically a treaty that helps all north American traders . The WTO is the World Trade Organization it helps dispute problems with other nations while trading , for exampleany unfair trading or rules that weren't followed . Developing countries are like China and Kenya , they aren't economically strong yet and are still improving , where as developed countries are like Canada and the UK . They are strong countries . Trading between developing and developed countries are sometimes unfair . For example the Jamaica video I watched in Class .Although some industries get subsidy's which are like loans given to industries to help them out .Tariffs are taxes but on goods coming in to a country like fruits from CCalifornia to Canada for a profit .But some products while trading are protected . Like Cuban cigars , they are banned in the U.S this is called Protectionism .
Part C: Globalization Cartoon
I picked this picture for WTO because it plays a big roll in trading .
Part E: Globalization and Quality of Life
The video 200 countries , 200 years ago is a excellent video showing how
countries changed throughout 200 years . Each event that happens has a drastic change
in each country either they fall or get ahead . As colonies got healthier they moved up on the list . HIV wars and great depressions had affects on colonies majorly .
