I think that settling disputes among members regarding interpretation and application of agreements is important because everything should run smoothly and it would help the participating members.
2.

Negotiating the reduction or elimination of obstacles to trade (import tariffs, other barriers to trade) and agreeing on rules governing the conduct of international trade.
-Activity one can help international trade because of the elimination/reduction of trade barriers, in order to keep the trade and world economy open to any country.
2. Administering and monitoring the application of the WTO's agreed rules for trade in goods, trade in services, and trade-related intellectual property rights

2. explaining to and educating the public about the WTO, its mission and its activities because so many people of the public do not understand or know what the WTO is and educating the public is always a good thing in growing the minds of our citizens

    This is the most important because developing countries need to grow through their economy in order to develop and they need assistance in order to do so

    2.

    Reason: I think the WTO negotiating to reduce tariffs is an important reason because it would improve/help trade. 
    2) Explaining and educating the public about the WTO 
    Reason: I think educating and explaining the purpose of the WTO to the public would be another important reason because it could possibly have more people join, increase trade, and also gain new/more ideas. ]]>     2019-03-26 16:35:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sanchezl589/2kiqewcrmisd/wish/345352682     Melissa Wainschel melissawainschel https://padlet.com/sanchezl589/2kiqewcrmisd/wish/345352710 1.

  • According to the video, what are some pros and cons of the WTO?
    • A con of the WTO is that it could limit innovation because of the use of patents.
    A pro of the WTO is that it keeps countries unified.

    2) Do you agree with the WTO policies presented in the video?   
    Why or why not?
    I think A WTO is bad because it interferes with free trade.
