By the 1990s, the US was stepping into the "Information Age". This would coincide with the presidency of Bill Clinton. One can also see this as a period when global connections really became more visible and faster, in part because of new trade agreements around the globe. In North America, there was NAFTA-the North American Free Trade Agreement. By the late 1990s the US economy was entering a dynamic period of growth.

Choose and discuss one of the following two topics related to the American history under President Clinton:

Question 1: Discuss opposing viewpoints about free trade during the 1990s.

Question 2: For the period of the Clinton presidency, identify one view of those favoring "free trade" and one view of those who were opposed.

Question 3: Explain how you would weigh the pros and cons of this policy. In hindsight, what is your view of NAFTA? Is globalization good?

Question 4: Identify the source(s) where you read about these "free trade" issues of that time.

Question 5: Discuss the "economic rebound" of the late 1990s under President Clinton.

Question 6: Identify three of the "package" of changes that characterized the economic boost of the "information revolution" in the late 1990s.

Question 7: Discuss and explain what you think was the most important of these changes. What can we learn from that sort of period of economic rebound?
