humanity interdependent on each other for survival.

What countries do you think have the highest mortality rates?
What countries do you think are the richest?
Do you think these two answers are related?

The Economy
Everyone in the UK is part of the economy; as a consumer or a producer.
If we buy things, we are consumers.If we make or sell things, we are producers.
If you add up the value of everything that is produced (made), it should be the same as the total of everything that is consumed (brought)
![Page 8: Watch the clip. Whilst you are watching, think about the following questions: 1. What problems do we face in the world? 2. Why do these problems exist?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697c00a1a28abf838cc7865/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Economy
Obviously, if someone has not got enough money to buy something, they can’t have it.
That is why some things are provided to us through the public sector (education, health care etc)
This is an attempt to make the system fair.

InterdependencyIf one person did all the jobs needed to bring a product
to the consumer, it would be a lot of work, effecting time and quality.
Therefore, businesses share out the work and become interdependent on each other.
For example, Journalists, photographers, editors etc need Printers to print their work in newspapers. They both depend on transport to distribute the newspaper and all rely on the newsagent to sell the paper in order for all of them to be paid.
Add on maintenance men for all machines used, window cleaners, banks, electricity providers, food providers etc, and you can see that the economy relies on a lot of people working together.
![Page 10: Watch the clip. Whilst you are watching, think about the following questions: 1. What problems do we face in the world? 2. Why do these problems exist?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697c00a1a28abf838cc7865/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
InterdependencyA big company in an area helps the local
community.
• It gives jobs• It gives transferable skills and training• It supports local businesses (pubs,
shops etc)• It pays taxes to the local council
If this company declined, then it would affect the entire community.

A fair world?
This is happening all over the world.
If the system of economy is fair, then why do we have MEDCs and LEDCs?
It is because we have different rates of economic growth.
![Page 12: Watch the clip. Whilst you are watching, think about the following questions: 1. What problems do we face in the world? 2. Why do these problems exist?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697c00a1a28abf838cc7865/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Third World Debt
As the LEDCs try to catch up, they might have to borrow money off of the MEDCs. If the country can then not increase their economy by as much as they wanted, they can not afford the repayments and the debt gets bigger.
Some debts have been cancelled, but not all of them.
![Page 13: Watch the clip. Whilst you are watching, think about the following questions: 1. What problems do we face in the world? 2. Why do these problems exist?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697c00a1a28abf838cc7865/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Third World Debt
41 poor countries (33 in Africa) owe about £150 billion in debt to rich countries.
To repay these debts, the countries are forced to divert money from healthcare, education and other vital services.
Many children will never go to school, mothers don’t have prenatal care and HIV infected people do not get the treatment they need.

GlobalisationModern technology combined with improved
communication and transport has made it easier to trade around the world.
Because of this, our nations are more reliant on each other than ever before.
You can order something from Australia and it can be with you within 5 working days.
Small local businesses now help make up national economies, and added together, there is now a global economy.
![Page 15: Watch the clip. Whilst you are watching, think about the following questions: 1. What problems do we face in the world? 2. Why do these problems exist?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697c00a1a28abf838cc7865/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
GlobalisationEconomy of Republic Of Ireland = $122
billion.
Microsoft Sales = $36.5 billion
Economy of Niger = $2.2 billion
Some companies sales are bigger than many countries’ economy. This can happen because countries have to stay still whereas companies can go where the customers are richer and the labour is cheaper
![Page 16: Watch the clip. Whilst you are watching, think about the following questions: 1. What problems do we face in the world? 2. Why do these problems exist?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697c00a1a28abf838cc7865/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Globalisation
Why will suppliers accept lower payments from big multinational countries?
Why will workers work for less in LEDCs?
All because there is little alternative. Multinational companies may well be the only buyer of particular goods or the only big employer in an area, so they can pick and choose their prices/wages.
![Page 17: Watch the clip. Whilst you are watching, think about the following questions: 1. What problems do we face in the world? 2. Why do these problems exist?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697c00a1a28abf838cc7865/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
GlobalisationCan Globalisation be a good thing?
• Some poorer countries have developed well• It creates jobs in poor countries, which in
turn creates more jobs (cafes, building firms etc)
• Prices become cheaper because goods are cheaper to make.
• New wider choices as more we can buy goods from a wider variety of sources
![Page 18: Watch the clip. Whilst you are watching, think about the following questions: 1. What problems do we face in the world? 2. Why do these problems exist?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697c00a1a28abf838cc7865/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Fair TradeTrade is very important because it earns money and creates jobs.
Trade has existed for as long as Humans have, but now, due to Globalisation, there is more opportunity for companies to find the best product for the cheapest price.
The World Trade Organisation (WTO) are responsible for negotiating international trade agreements.
The current system is FREE TRADE, which means that the price of goods are determined by the amount of people who want to buy and sell. However, this favours the richer countries.
Many people now argue for FAIR TRADE meaning that the poorer countries will benefit more. This will work by allowing more of the price the consumer makes to go to the producer, a fairer wage, working conditions and to create Trade Unions.
An example of this is the US government wanting chocolate manufacturers to put the label “Slave Free” on their wrappers to show if their chocolate was produced on farms that did not use slave labour to do the work. Then campaigners could argue that people should boycott all chocolate companies who do not have this label, ensuring that all companies would sign up.

Environmental IssuesAs well as economic issues, there are also
environmental issues to causing problems.
Such as:

Sustainable DevelopmentEven here, we have a similar choice.
We can choose to work less hours and have access to health care and education. We have many things we can buy to make life more comfortable for us.
This is a good thing, but there are some drawbacks.
Growing food and building homes, roads, hospitals and schools uses land, resources and energy. The demand for products and services may mean pollution increase and natural resources all to be used up.
In time, these factors could have an effect on the way we live and could actually decrease our standard of living.

Sustainable DevelopmentSustainable Development is a way of improving the way
we live today without harming the prospects for the future.
Different resources can now be used instead of dangerous or scarce ones.
Energy: As coal, oil and natural gas runs out we can use wind power, solar power, nuclear power etc.
Food: North Sea fishing fleets have almost wiped out fish stocks. Now we have strict controls on how much fishing can happen and some species have already started to increase once more.
Resources: If you continue to cut down trees for timber and paper, you will run out of trees. However, trees are renewable by simply replanting as you go.

What can you do?Is it up to governments to sort out the environmental
problems or are there things that you can do?
List them.

UK’s place in the world.To solve all of these problems, people, governments and
countries have to get involved.
How is the UK involved?
