Question 1

With the advancements in technology, it has never been easier to conduct business in the global marketplace. Although this has expanded the possibilities of where one can conduct business, it is not without its disadvantages. What are some of the issues that one faces when dealing in a global marketplace? What advice would you give to a business that wants to become international?

Question 2

Answer the following questions:

• What concept(s) did you find to be the most/least enjoyable? Why?
• Which concept(s) do you think will be most applicable in your chosen career? Explain.
• Are there any concepts that you continue to struggle with that you would like more resources for before you begin your final exam?

Question 3

Environmentalists argue that military, economic, and environmental security are interrelated. If a nation's environment is degraded to the point that soils become widely infertile or numerous workers get sick from pollution, the economy will deteriorate. If economies fail, unemployment and poverty will increase and national security may be threatened by internal unrest. Hostile nations or foreign criminal groups may also take advantage of a nation's weakened environment, chaotic social structure, and poor economy. Others argue that while the environment is important to a nation's security, terrorism, unemployment, hunger, and inflation are more urgent and short-term threats.

Do you believe that environmental security is just as important as economic and military security?
