Economy Sketchnotes


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.
