Trade and Globalization Sketchnotes

The most interesting thing I learned about trade is that when countries trade it isn’t just one item for another. Trade is really you will trade money for a good. Secondly, I learned that many Countries and Villages are connected by trade. I learned a lot about globalization but the most interesting thing I learned is that on the positive side jobs can go up and prices go down.

Netherlands Standard of Living

A country's standard of living doesn’t show how everyone lives because there could be some people that are very rich and wealthy but the standard of living is low. For example some people can make millions of dollars when some people make less than 1000$ a year.

      The most interesting thing I have learned about standard of living is that so many          country’s standard of living is so different than others because some countries have $48,000 GDP per capita while some have less than $1000.

    I think it’s a good idea to donate money to other countries if they have a lot, but some people might not want to. For example if someone has a lot of money they might get greedy and not donate or if someone has a fair amount of money but can’t really donate because they can’t afford it.

Economic Systems Sketchnotes

Economy and me

Economy is present in my life because production, distribution, consumption, goods, and services are everywhere. I know production is in my life because factories, paper, and clothes are examples I see around me in my life. Clothes are made from factories and are shipped using a cargo ship or an 18 wheeler to a store where they are ready for you to buy.  I see trucks, mail trucks, the bank, the post office, gas stations, and cargo ships. They are all good examples of distribution because they distribute items to you, for example mail trucks distribute mail to you. Consumption is always around me because I see people buying food and water, I also see stores, and people consuming information at school, and using their inhaler. If you use a notebook, you are consuming the notebook because you are using it. There are many kinds of goods in my life like clothes, shelter, computers, and food and water, also books. Goods are things that you can consume. If you consume a book it is a good. Services are people and companies that help you out or benefit you. Some examples of services would be doctors, people serving in the military, veterinarians, the mailman, a coach, a plumber, a teacher, and a restaurant. Those are my examples of how production, distribution, consumption, goods,and services are around me and benefiting me in my life.

Choose to be Bothered, Help others.

It is important to be bothered because if we are not bothered  by anything there will be no change in the world. People who need help in the world will not be able to get that help and nobody will care for anything anymore. People who need medical attention will not get that if people don’t get bothered by anything anymore. If people were not bothered anymore homeless people would not get any support by other people.  People  would starve looking for food in some countries without anyone caring or getting bothered about it. If a flight is crashing or a boat is sinking and they need a rescue they might not get rescued if nobody was bothered by it.   We would have no military to defend our country if nobody was bothered anymore. Now that you have read this I hope you will be bothered by these things in life.
