2. ban the dangerous chemicals that were responsible for its deterioration ，chlorofluorocarbons.
3.Environmental social movement ：Ozone layer movement
Companies using CFCs：Prohibit CFCs，Invest heavily in alternative industries
The United States:Disabling CFCs is supported
4.The solution worked, the use of CFCs is outlawed by 197 countries around the world and scientists concur that the ozone layer is slowly recovering as a result. Overall, the success in addressing the ozone problem can give us hope that global environmental problems can and have been solved By Humanity's Timely Collective action.

Ozone depletion is the thinning of the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere. because it increases the amount of ultraviolet radiation reaching the earth's surface, it increases the incidence of skin cancer, eye cataracts, and genetic and immune system damage
2 Today, the use of CFCs is outlawed by 197 countries around the world and scientists concur that the ozone layer is slowly recovering as a result. Overall, the success in addressing the ozone problem can give us hope that global environmental problems can and have been solved by humanity’s timely collective action. 
3.(1）Scientists have found that the thinning of the ozone layer is caused by increased concentrations of chemicals that deplete the ozone layer-CFCs
（2）Environmental social movement (in the US):through inventive public campaigns managed to spur changes in consumer behaviour, including widespread boycotts of products and companies that used CFCs. 
（3）Companies using CFCs:the engineers had developed a prototype for the “GreenFreeze” fridge – which used a mix of natural hydrocarbons instead of CFCs 
（4）The United States:The United States began banning the domestic use of non-essential CFCs as aerosol propellants in 1978
4.Yes, since most countries have banned CFCs, scientists believe the ozone layer is slowly recovering. This means that these measures are playing a key role in getting the problem solved.

2.ban the use of CFCs altogether in industrialised countries by the year 2000 and by the year 2010 in developing countries.
3.U.S. Environmental Campaign: Raise public awareness and encourage everyday products that are resistant to fluorocarbons. Example: Aerosol 
Company: Develop new technology to replace CNCSUnited States: The first to move the ban
Scientists find thinning of ozone layer caused by concentrations of depleting chemicals.
4Yes, they are resolved. Most countries see stopping it as an actionable plan, and leading companies have developed new technologies to help their companies stabilize]]> 2022-03-03 13:06:36 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/9wimk6o3io9ooelo/wish/2075743343 Group 3-A2 jwang347 https://padlet.com/usictech/9wimk6o3io9ooelo/wish/2075839362  economy.
(1)Economic globalization has made the links of countries stronger, and if an economic crisis occurs, it will have a great impact, and many countries will have problems as a result.
(2) While global income inequality is improving, consistent data show that domestic inequality is growing in almost every country. This is because it shows how the rich get richer at the expense of the poor, while the poor are exploited for the benefit of others.

Cultural
Languages are disappearing at a quicker rate than at any other moment in human history. The situation is bleak: according to more optimistic estimates, 90-95 percent of languages will be endangered or on the verge of extinction within a century, while the most pessimistic estimate is that just 40-50 languages will survive

Political
No absolute sovereignty of a country over the political borders of a region, increased interaction between systems of government, increased external intervention and interaction on a democratic, NGO, human basis

Environmental
Economic globalisation, for example, has resulted in a massive increase in resource extraction and product transportation, resulting in a dramatic increase in the use of transportation facilities such as highways, which consume large amounts of limited agricultural land and vegetation; it has also resulted in a dramatic increase in the use of fossil fuels ]]> 2022-03-03 13:55:13 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/9wimk6o3io9ooelo/wish/2075839362 Group 2- A2 https://padlet.com/usictech/9wimk6o3io9ooelo/wish/2075855443 Environmental：People of colour, women, indigenous communities and countries of the global South are often the first to bear the brunt of climate disruption. They bear the burden of ecological, economic and health impacts, giving rise to the concept of climate injustice. These communities are among the first to be affected by climate disruption, which can include "natural" disasters, increased levels of respiratory and infectious diseases, heat-related morbidity and mortality, and significant increases in energy costs. Floods caused by severe storms, rising sea levels and melting glaciers have affected millions of people in Asia and Latin America, while sub-Saharan Africa is experiencing persistent drought.

Economic：Globalisation gives large companies an advantage. Companies can go to developing countries and get raw materials, like oil, for less money. They can pay lower wages to workers in those countries. At the same time, companies use experience from workers in developed countries. With globalisation, different parts of a product may be made in different regions of the world. For example, different parts of a car may be made in different countries. This can be the case even for cotton T-shirts. Cotton could be grown in one country. Then the T-shirt is made in another.

Political： Globalisation has brought some new changes to global politics. For its own survival and development, no country can avoid taking global interests into account. Extensive cooperation among countries in the world in dealing with drugs, AIDS, international crimes, environmental pollution and ecological damage global action promotes globalization and the progress of human civilization.

Cultural：Globalization paves the way for the internationalization of culture globalization also has a strong impact on the social and cultural level. The growth of communication has made it possible for cultural norms, values, beliefs, traditions and cultural heritage to exchange freely and openly across national boundaries and people are becoming more aware of the existence of different cultural entities. Culture spreads and exchanges in a larger scope and in more fields and its positive influence on mutual learning and learning is quite obvious.]]> 2022-03-03 14:02:52 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/9wimk6o3io9ooelo/wish/2075855443 Group1——A2 https://padlet.com/usictech/9wimk6o3io9ooelo/wish/2075905486 Economy: Due to globalization, developing countries have more opportunities to attract foreign investment. The high cost of processing tasks in developing countries leads to higher prices and affects the global economy (Samadi, 2019). Fast fashion companies need more production to provide customers with more products, but developing countries do not have enough resources and technology to produce them, resulting in high cost prices, high product prices, affecting the global economy]]> 2022-03-03 14:24:04 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/9wimk6o3io9ooelo/wish/2075905486 Group1——A2 LyraLu https://padlet.com/usictech/9wimk6o3io9ooelo/wish/2075910320 Economic: In the 'less-worse' version, inequality is tolerated as a necessary side-effect of increased economic growth within a country. Through globalization, goes the argument, the wages of a segment of the work force increase, but the same doesn't happen for other segments, so the gap in between increases.
Political: Inequality resulting from globalization today is often viewed as existing in two varieties, one 'less worse' than the other. ... Through globalization, goes the argument, the wages of a segment of the work force increase, but the same doesn't happen for other segments, so the gap in between increases.
Culture: Although the popularity of English has allowed people to communicate in a common language, it has caused the disappearance of many small languages. According to the Endangered Languages Project estimates, 40% of the world's 7,000 languages are at risk of disappearing. For example, the Ayak language in Alaska, whose last speaker died in 2008, or the Turkish Ubiq language, whose last fluent speaker died in 1992.]]> 2022-03-03 14:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/9wimk6o3io9ooelo/wish/2075910320
