"But still, as the rest of the world rises, in purely economic terms, America will experience relative decline"(56). A lot of American companies are starting and have been making the majority of their money outside of the U.S. 
What could America do to stop the economic decline?]]> 2020-08-31 13:36:49 UTC https://padlet.com/timgreen3/oxrddjrho1xr540y1629476917/wish/708669577 Finn - The Fastest Race Car in the World finnhautau https://padlet.com/timgreen3/oxrddjrho1xr540y1629476917/wish/708669579 This section can roughly be described by the saying "the bigger they are, the harder they fall."

*Economic success (and therefore confidence) across the West since the 80s due to globalization of economics (low production prices in China and India), low inflation in the West. 

*Investors and loaners got too risky due to their confidence and were spending money they didn't even have, which cause the world economy to crash HARD (fastest car= hardest crash)

*Some countries in Europe almost went breakup]]> 2020-08-31 13:36:49 UTC https://padlet.com/timgreen3/oxrddjrho1xr540y1629476917/wish/708669579 The Three Forces: Politics, Economics, and Technology-Flo and Jaimee https://padlet.com/timgreen3/oxrddjrho1xr540y1629476917/wish/708669581 2020-08-31 13:36:49 UTC https://padlet.com/timgreen3/oxrddjrho1xr540y1629476917/wish/708669581 The Problems of Plenty https://padlet.com/timgreen3/oxrddjrho1xr540y1629476917/wish/708669582

Some of these being a world dominated by US culture and thought, as well as the increasing economic independence of other countries. It speaks on how many countries are breaking away from the US focused narrative, and have leaned towards a more inward look in their own history and ideals. 

Q: With this increase of nationality in many countries, is there a visible decrease in  individualism? ]]> 2020-08-31 13:36:49 UTC https://padlet.com/timgreen3/oxrddjrho1xr540y1629476917/wish/708669587 Another Kinda Bubble https://padlet.com/timgreen3/oxrddjrho1xr540y1629476917/wish/708669589 As "the rest" rises  America will experience economic decline.
-America will eventually stop becoming a global superpower.

-Conscious of the changing world.
-Internally focused vs. Outward     Orientation. 
-Isolationism/Nationalism
-Self Globalization 
How can the U.S stay as a global economic power?
Is it too late to self globalize?]]> 2020-08-31 13:36:49 UTC https://padlet.com/timgreen3/oxrddjrho1xr540y1629476917/wish/708669589 Question Response constanceyoungman https://padlet.com/timgreen3/oxrddjrho1xr540y1629476917/wish/708669590 Why does the US try to maintain its international 'policing' when it would be more efficient to develop alongside these countries and form compromises? 

While it may be more efficient and cooperative to work with and alongside nations, the United States has been incredibly obstinate to do so. As Zakaria reiterates when he discusses the Post-American world, globally the United States has been at the “top” for a long time and is eager to stay there. As Zakaria describes it, the United States is most challenged by the Rise of the Rest thus  its power is challenged. International policing is a means to exercise the power that the United States has in the global hierarchy.
