Hi Guys,
Sorry not to be in again today. Last time it was my daughter who was sick, and now it's me - and on my birthday... :( Anyway, we WILL be debating next class, so here's what I would like you to do to get ready. Team Captains, please facilitate your group completing the following steps: 1. Get back into your groups 2. Take five minutes to individually read over all of the information in the two-page detailed overview of your option from the Options packet to re-familiarize yourself with your option. 3. Individually, each person or pair of students should take about 5 minutes to read over the prepared paragraph for their individual task. 4. Captains, then please lead your group through the process of everyone reading OUT LOUD to the group the paragraph that they have prepared for their specific task. Group members should offer feedback and suggestions for improving the prepared statements. The paragraphs/tasks should be read in the following order: I. Opening Statement II. Policy Beliefs
III. Real world/Historical examples 5. Finally, as a group discuss any final steps that need to be taken to be fully prepared for the debate on Wednesday! 6. If you were not in class the week before vacation and were not assigned a group, you should first choose one of the four options that you agree with most, and write a 1/2 page to 1 page essay explaining why you support that option, which arguments you think best support that option, and what your option believes about economics, international security, international relations, health and environment, and culture/values. All of the information necessary to complete this task can be found in the "Options Packet." There are extra copies of the packet on my desk in the piles of papers. 7. Once you and your group have complete the steps above and are 100% ready to go for the debate on Wednesday you are free to work on an assignment from another class. See you on Wednesday! 1.

Globalization refers to the way that countries, people, governments, economies, and cultures are increasingly connected to each other, influenced by each other, and reliant on each other. 2. Give two reasons why some people are fearful of globalization. A. Some countries (like the US) can dominate globalization and push their beliefs, customs, and needs onto other people B. Some countries could lose out economically to countries that are more powerful than them (loss of jobs or resources, for example) 3. Give one positive and one negative effect of economic globalization. A. It allows the world to work together more cooperatively B. The interests of some countries can dominate those of others - not everyone gets an equal say, or equal benefit 4. Supporters and critics have different views on who benefits most from free trade. A. Supporters - Who benefits? Everyone, from workers, to industries, investors, and consumers. B. Critics - Who benefits? Big businesses and corporations.

7. What is an international organization? Give three examples of international organizations. International governmental organizations (IGOs) seek to resolve problems that affect multiple states. These groups set rules for states that choose to be members and work together to solve world problems. Three examples are United Nations, European Union, and African Union. 8. Why do some people call for reform of the structure of the UN? What problems do they see? Some people believe that certain powerful nations have too much power/control in the UN. They want changes to make it more democratic, so that all nations have an equal voice in solving world problems. 9. What are human rights? Why do some states resist a universal international human rights standard? Human rights are fundamental and absolute rights that every human being possesses, regardless of national laws or cultural traditions. Some of the fundamental human rights, as expressed in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, include the right to life, liberty, security, sufficient standard of living, equality under the law, education, freedom of movement, and freedom of thought and religion. Some argue that beliefs in individual liberty and equality originated in the West, and are not shared or valued by other cultures, particularly those with strong communal traditions. Basically, not all countries agree to what human rights should be. 10. Look at the Universal Declaration of Human Rights table on page 19. List two rights from the Universal Declaration that also appear in the amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Then list two that do not appear. Major Elements of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Everyone is entitled to:
