Description
Three activities offer students the opportunity to explore globalization by examining the concepts of resource distribution, free trade, and specialization. The lessons are hands-on with engaging simulation activities that conclude with relevant and important discussion and reflection questions.
Students will:
- Explain how availability of resources and lack of resources (natural and human) can affect whether countries can serve the needs of their citizens
- Identify reasons why free trade can both improve the quality of life for some and not improve it for others, including potential health risks
- Explain the pros and cons of specialization in the global economy
- Relate how globalization is tied to resource distribution, trade, and specialization
