What is Globalization and Interdependence?
-Globalization: the interdependence of world markets and businesses. Different businesses rely on workers, consumers and resources from all different countries.
-Interdependence: countries are dependent on one another.

15. Slavery - A Modern Issue
Placard H (Slave Labor)
Slavery - A Modern Issue
Slave labor still exists today
There are more people in slavery now than any other time in history.
Ex: ~Sweatshops use slaves to produce soccer balls in Pakistan
~In many African countries, children are sold by starving
parents
~In the United States, people are sold as sex slaves or to profit a company
Slave labor is viewed as profitable business. It exists as long as there are economic problems and people willing to exploit others for profit. Some families even sell their children because they can’t afford another mouth to feed.

16. Types of Modern Slavery Consequences
Bonded Labor: one is forced to work with low or no wages to pay off a debt
Child Slavery: children ages 18 and under are forced to work
Marital and Sexual Slavery: forcing sexual practices on someone who is unwilling
Human Trafficking: the illegal trade of human beings
Injustice
Racism
Higher suicide rates
Psychological trauma
Moral degradation
12-27 million people are caught for slavery worldwide
17,500 are in the United States
3 out of 4 are women
Half are children

21. Placard K (Child Labor)
NEPAL: Nepal has a handmade rug industry named good weave. When it was established about one million kids were kidnapped and put to work (GoodWeave.com, 2009).
KENYA: Kenya is known for kids unloading and loading goods on and off of automobiles. The children also fetch firewood and water, and mowing or slashing grass on a compound (Mary Mutua, 1997).
PERU: In Peru children are involved in mining and quarrying, they work to collect and sort waste materials, and they also work at wholesale markets (Anna Ensing, 2007)
INDIA: In India kids as young as ten are working in textile industries. The working conditions are very harsh and almost slave like (Dan McDougall, 2007)

22. ●Some children have to weave up to 18 hours a day. (Good weave, 2012)
THEN
NOW
Causes: Causes of youth (child) labor violations include businesses and corporations looking for cheap workers, lack of government laws that are preventing the corporations from hiring young workers. Poverty is another driving cause of youth labor violations because people need money to support their families. Finally the lack of parents’ education is another leading cause for youth labor violations. (UNICEF, 2012)
Facts:
●Work that’s harmful to a child’s physical and mental condition is child labor. (Good weave, 2012)
●One of the things that is considered child labor is selling things in the street or being in someone’s house as a domestic servant. (Good weave, 2012)
●An estimated 12% of children in India through ages 5-14 are in child labor activities. (Good weave, 2012)
●Some children have to weave up to 18 hours a day. (Good weave, 2012)
●It can take 760 billion dollars and a 20 year period to end child labor. (Good weave, 2012)

On January 19, 2006, a federal grand jury in Eugene, Oregon, indicted Joseph Mahmoud Dibee on multiple charges related to his alleged role in a domestic terrorism cell.
Ramadan Abdullah Mohammad Shallah is wanted for conspiracy to conduct the affairs of the designated international terrorist organization known as the "Palestinian Islamic Jihad" (PIJ) through a pattern of racketeering activities such as bombings, murders, extortions, and money laundering.

32. “Terrorism is a criminal act that influences an audience beyond the immediate victim. The strategy of terrorists is to commit acts of violence that draws the attention of the local populace, the government, and the world to their cause. The terrorists plan their attack to obtain the greatest publicity, choosing targets that symbolize what they oppose. The effectiveness of the terrorist act lies not in the act itself, but in the public’s or government’s reaction to the act. For example, in 1972 at the Munich Olympics, the Black September Organization killed 11 Israelis. The Israelis were the immediate victims. But the true target was the estimated 1 billion people watching the televised event. The Black September Organization used the high visibility of the Munich Olympics to publicize its views on the plight of the Palestinian refugees.
“There are three perspectives of terrorism: the terrorist’s, the victim’s, and the general public’s. The phrase “one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter” is a view terrorists themselves would gladly accept. Terrorists do not see themselves as evil. They believe they are legitimate combatants, fighting for what they believe in, by whatever means possible to attain their goals. A victim of a terrorist act sees the terrorist as a criminal with no regard for human life. The general public’s view though can be the most unstable. The terrorists take great pains to foster a “Robin Hood” image in hope of swaying the general public’s point of view toward their cause.” (
"Terrorism is the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.“ (The FBI definition)

Placard R (Women’s Rights)
Women’s rights around the world is an important indicator to understand global well-being.
Yet, despite many successes in empowering women, numerous issues still exist in all areas of life, ranging from the cultural, political to the economic. For example, women often work more than men, yet are paid less; gender discrimination affects girls and women throughout their lifetime; and women and girls are often are the ones that suffer the most poverty. (
“Thirty years after the adoption of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), many girls and women still do not have equal opportunities to realize rights recognized by law. In many countries, women are not entitled to own property or inherit land. Social exclusion, “honor” killings, female genital mutilation, trafficking, restricted mobility and early marriage among others, deny the right to health to women and girls and increase illness and death throughout the life-course.
We will not see sustainable progress unless we fix failures in health systems and society so that girls and women enjoy equal access to health information and services, education, employment and political positions.”
~— Dr Margaret Chan, Director-General, World Health Organization

39. Endangered wildlife programs support and preserve threatened species
Placard T (Environmental Changes)
Globalization is a process that links people around the world as a result of shared activities and interests. Fueled by technology and expanding communication network, globalization creates cultural, social, environmental and economic connections among countries.
The environment contains a variety of shared resources, such as the atmosphere, land, oceans, and rivers that are affected by the decisions and actions of people in many countries. Responsibility for these resources also must be shared, with countries working together to develop ways to protect and sustain the environment. Animals and plants benefit in many ways from global interactions.
Endangered wildlife programs support and preserve threatened species
Developing nations benefit from information about more effective crop-growing techniques
Alternative energy is shared among nations, reducing the need for fossil fuels.
BUT…

40. Increased global interaction also threatens animals and plants:
invasive species harm non-native ecosystems, illegal animal trafficking puts species at risk, and increased agricultural use of land to meet global food demands results in deforestation and loss of animal habitats.
