EH U4 Unit Intro

Unit 4: Economic System (development/globalization - China/India)

Part One

We are going to look at levels of development and the role globalization plays in the world.

Why are some countries considered "developed" and others struggling to get to that position (still "developing")?
How does government affect a country's development?
How does globalization improve quality of life but also have negative effects?
Is it worth being part of the globalization process?

Part Two

Asian countries have incredible histories that are unique in so many interesting ways and similar in others because of their proximity to each other.

How has their history impacted their development?
Why are some Asian countries move involved in globalization than others?
What influences quality of life the most in these countries?
What are the BRIC countries? What does this acronym mean to globalization? What is their competition?

Part Three: We will study China and then move onto India to see how these two countries contribute to the globalization process. Using the PEGS structure to analyze China's development, we will compare that information to India's PEGS.
