This Article is about how America as Big as it is as a country, it’s geographical characteristics still fall to how Globalization and its affect across the country itself,  Globalization decreases Americas geographical value and how Americas actions of coming together as one are always at risk due to globalization helping only "local economies & norms."

This article reminds me of the ‘It’s a Flat World, After All’ we read by Friedman because it talks about how Globalization effecting the America in home soil, while other sources are adapting to globalization evening out the ‘playing field’ making it competitive & diverese]]> 2017-10-04 20:20:16 UTC https://padlet.com/miguel_mendoza834/1kywxzw4f55r/wish/194079470 miguel_mendoza834 https://padlet.com/miguel_mendoza834/1kywxzw4f55r/wish/194456445 https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/06/business/economy/chattanooga-foreign-investment.html

The article explains how Foreign companies, mostly Automotive, are setting up factories in the U.S. employing thousands, and with that more foreign companies come to the U.S. and do the same, leading to satisfaction with finding jobs for natives here in U.S. Defeating the belief that jobs are being taken away.

This article is relevant to the course material because it relates to FDI from foreign Automative Companies from Japan who set up shop here, bringing jobs, which we also spoke about how profits are swept back to a core, where this has happened with a chicken company sweeping profits back to Brazil.]]> 2017-10-05 18:37:23 UTC https://padlet.com/miguel_mendoza834/1kywxzw4f55r/wish/194456445 miguel_mendoza834 https://padlet.com/miguel_mendoza834/1kywxzw4f55r/wish/196226142  https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2017/10/10/us/politics/ap-us-world-economy-imf.html

The article is about how the global economic recovery is working out for all countries/states not just a few. How it has gotten better for the first time since the great recession of 2008.  Also how world trade is expected to expand and how certain traits drag down worlds wealthiest countries.

This article is relevant to the course material because it is stating how the IMF, a result from the Bretton Woods Conference, explains how economical globalization affects the globe as a whole, meaning if it has positive affects, the world feels it, also vice versa. ]]> 2017-10-11 21:21:12 UTC https://padlet.com/miguel_mendoza834/1kywxzw4f55r/wish/196226142 miguel_mendoza834 https://padlet.com/miguel_mendoza834/1kywxzw4f55r/wish/196226200 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41529550

This article explains how Trump wouldn't mind cutting off Mexico if they don't agree on the US increasing US components with car making, which only leads to trade deals with Canad only, leading to consequences for US-Mexico relations, just because US wants all financial benefits & job increase.

This article is relevant to Wallerstein's WorldSystem's peace and World Systems Theory we spoke about because The U.S. a core country wants to take away an industry Mexico a semi-periphery thrives on and profit for themselves, like we discussed, all goods and benefits always serve the core country's.]]> 2017-10-11 21:21:22 UTC https://padlet.com/miguel_mendoza834/1kywxzw4f55r/wish/196226200 miguel_mendoza834 https://padlet.com/miguel_mendoza834/1kywxzw4f55r/wish/196226244 https://www.economist.com/news/books-and-arts/21729983-sir-john-cowperthwaite-most-unlikely-things-bureaucrat-hero

This article was about how Cowperthwaite opposed big spending on local problems, instead let business and indivduals sort it out, thus leading to Hong Kongs rise with investments in Electronics & toy production making Hong Kong a competitor in these areas.

This article reminds me of the in class material we went over on Adam Smiths ‘The invisible hand’ because Coperthwaite took this process and used it, meaning he let big businesses and locals fight for the business of those willing to buy, without government intervention it would eventually sort itself out.]]> 2017-10-11 21:21:34 UTC https://padlet.com/miguel_mendoza834/1kywxzw4f55r/wish/196226244
