Interdependence

1. UN organization

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) promotes international understanding and mutual knowledge through all forms of mass communication. In July this year the India-UN fund and UNESCO supported Togo in reducing poverty through green economy initiatives. The whole idea is to develop sustainably and create more green jobs. The members living within these communities in Togo are receiving training in jobs such as fish or mushroom farming. This project launched on July 19th with the help of many: Togo Minister of Environment, Sustainable Development and Nature Conservation, Professor David Wonou Oladokoun, and many more.

2. IGO

The EU is a good example of an intergovernmental organization. IGO's such as the EU have the power to make rules and exercise their power within their member countries, their global impact continues to increase. In recent news, we are learning that the unemployment rate within the European Union has dropped to its lowest in the past 19 years. That is about 15.4 million people out of work, which is the lowest rate they have recorded since 2000. Hopefully, the unemployment rate continues to decrease.

3. Hybrid IGO

The EU also works as an example of a hybrid IGO. The African Union is an example as well. recently they lifted the suspension off of Sudan. Sundans membership with the AU was suspended in June due to the violent act of a major protest site in Khartoum (their capital). During this period many were killed and there was much debate between the ruling military council and civilian opposition. Their suspension was lifted after the three-month freeze that was placed. This suspension was raised after the removal of their past president Omar al-Bashir.

4. Treaties/ Strategic Alliances

In March of 2019, the United States created a treaty between us and Argentina. It revolved around the sharing of Visa information. The intention of this was to prevent the movement of third-country citizens who seek to enter the Americas without the documentation required by law. Both the United States and Argentina want to support facilities that are legitimizing travel from one to the other. They both came to the conclusion for more border security and enforcement of immigration.

The Future of Work - Connor Morley

Image
The future of work in America is, like any prediction, ultimately uncertain, but there are numerous factors that are contributing to what can be predicted. Through the careful gathering of data by the McKinsey global institute, it is plain to see what jobs/lines of work are likely set to thrive and which ones might be in danger. It seems to be the trend that the jobs most in danger of displacement are the ones that are on the lower end of the pay scale. This appears to be correlated highly with jobs whose workers do not possess college degrees, as evidenced by this graph: Which shows that college degrees are more important than ever in a global economy less willing to shell out the big bucks on manufacturing and blue-collar work than ever, even though they constitute the largest portion of jobs in the world relative to other occupations, which really illustrates certain inequalities brought-on by a country exemplifying a capitalist model, such as the United States.  ...

Hey Check This Out 12/11

 https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/11/republicans-discover-dangers-selling-bunk-their-constituents/617197/ This article from The Atlantic draws the parallels between the lead up to, and the aftermath of the 1860 and the 2020 US presidential elections.  The divisions between modern day Americans and the two political parties are similarly as divided as back in the 1850’s leading up to the election of 1860 in which Abraham Lincoln (a Republican) was elected, much to the outrage of the US South; As described in the article the fiery speeches in the US Congress and toxic political rhetoric and conspiracy theories that were prevalent in the lead up to the 1860 election, which can also be said about the harsh divisions in the current 2020 political climate. In some ways, electing Obama president in 2008 helped improve race relations on some levels, or at least it opened up more dialogue about several important topics that had been ignored or downplayed for too long; i...

Coronavirus and issues of Development and Power

Jorge Larach 5/20/20 GPHC Coronavirus and issues of Development and Power  I read two articles:  Why Rich Countries must Protect Developing Nations from Coronavirus Pandemic How is the United Nations responding to the Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) / COVID-19 outbreak? Despite this assignment being due weeks ago, I still compared what these articles are talking about to today and processed the timeline provided in the second article (chronologically), as well as considered what the call to action of the first article was referring to. I think the first article provides a persuasive, fact-supported argument as to why higher-income countries should divert some of their attention to poorer countries, not just for the well being of those countries, but for theirs as well. It argues that if poorer countries are not given the support they need, monetary or otherwise, then not only will those countries be hit substantially harder than richer ones, but it will like...
