To receive extra credit, please complete the following questions (1-2 pages typed):
1. List and describe four concepts -- two from the video and two from the article --that we covered in class that were discussed in detail in the materials.
2. After watching this video and reading the article, what are your thoughts on globalization thus far, both in terms of finance and trade? Discuss the pros and cons as you see them. Going forward, do you agree/disagree with (any of) the three points for "fixing" globalization presented in "The reset button"? Anything you would add? Or, are we bound to see a decline in global trade/finance with the anti-global climate and sentiment that appears to be growing recently? I am interested to hear your thoughts.
