The New International Economic Order
In the early 1960's the economic gap separating the first world from the third or other world began to explode. With the industrialized states controlling more than 3/4ths of the global economy the disadvantage facing the third world could easily be seen. Third world countries lacked the start-up capital, the education, and the technology to compete with the first world. In the early 1970's the United Nations began to listen to the cries from these third world states, and set out to develop a strategy at which to combat these problems. This strategy lead to the development of The New International Economic Order (NIEO) or the Group of 77 in 1974. The group consisted of 77 members " which would

The issue upset particular rich states which had corporations located in third world states mining these different natural resources. Before this agreement rich states were basically stealing the only profitable items some of these third world states had to offer. With this issue it was stated that if there were any natural resources located in a states border. Than those resources belong to that individual state.
The third issue stated is that the prices of raw materials should be directly related to the prices of manufactured goods. This issue focuses on the continuing rise of inflation in the first world versus the stagnant growth of prices for raw materials produced by the third world. By looking at prices in the present time you can see that this issue was never accepted by all the members. The reasoning is that it would hurt us living in the developed world. As an example, the price of new automobiles has risen dramatically in just the past ten years. But the price of iron ore which is needed to make the steel frames for those automobiles has virtually stayed the same in the past ten years. So in the past ten years prices for automobiles have increased substantially due to the development of new technologies, but imagine if besides paying for these new technologies we also had to pay more for iron ore due to inflation. We as Americans would be outraged at the increase in price for iron
1. Law enforcement agencies seek for lawbreakers to create problems in which they are fined for crimes they have committed. They want this to happen in order to create fines for these criminals in order for the agencies to make a certain amount of revenue from the fines that the lawbreakers pay as a consequence of their actions. Some laws that law enforcement agencies set up in order to create this type of revenue off of lawbreakers include speeding tickets. The action of speeding can cause more good than harm because of the amount of revenue that speeding tickets can produce, compared to the amount of speeding related automobile accidents that people who

Over the long history of American, three moments specifically have excessively decided the course of the Republic 's advancement. Each separately refined the experience and characterized the authentic legacy of a century. Each grasped a couple of scenes with lastingly trans formative effects. From 1776 to 1789 the Revolutionary War and the adopted the Constitution brought national independence and established the basic political framework within which the nation would be governed ever after. From 1861 to 1877 the Civil War and Reconstruction affirmed the integrated the Union, ended slavery, and generated three constitutional amendments that at least laid the foundation for honoring the Declaration 's promise that all men equal. And somewhere around 1929 and 1945 the Great Depression and World War II totally re-imagined the part of government in American culture and slung the United States from a detached, fringe state into the world 's hegemonic superpower. To comprehend the rationale and the outcomes of those three minutes is to see much about the substance and the trajectory of all of American history.
In World War I many soldiers were sent to Europe to fight for the democracy of other countries. The idea of being part of the war was to be heroes in one of the biggest conflict of the world. The U.S. was convinced that if they could send forces to Europe and help the Allied Forces to win the war, they would gain a better status worldwide as the country that saved the peace and democracy. Therefore, the United States government sent thousands of soldiers to fight the war. A big problem came later, when the war finished and the soldiers came back to America, they were broken and unemployed. Thousands of veterans were now without their full capacities and unemployed, so Texas Congressman Wright Patman proposed a bill that would give a bonus
In retrospect, the world wars influenced the formation of many international organizations mainly to act as mitigation measures to the aftermath and to prevent the occurrence of related experiences in the future. Most notably, the economies were significantly affected and lives lost unnecessarily while at the extremes the powerful nations took control of the weak hence the need for a control. To be specific, the countries under the umbrella of United Nations have continued to enjoy much prestige as compared to others since almost of the challenges they face are responded to on a wider dimension.

Economic systems are organized way in which a state or nation allocates its resources and apportions goods and services in the national community. An economic system is slackly defined as country’s plan for its services, goods produced, and the exact way in which its economic plan is carried out. There are three types of economic systems exist, they are command economy, market economy, and mixed economy. Command economy is also sometimes called planned economy. The expectations of this type of economy is that all major decisions that related to the construction or production, distribution, commodity and service prices are all made by the government. However, in market economy, national and state governments play a
Following the end of World War two the nation’s of the world were split between three different political groups or “worlds’. The first group consisting of the industrialized capitalist nations, those nations being the United States and its allies. The second group consisted of the Communist nations led by the Soviet Union. The “Third World’ consisted of the now developing nations, often newly independent and they were neither aligned with the United States or The Soviet Union. These newly developing countries would prove to be another area for the Cold War superpowers to compete amongst themselves.

The world economy played a large role in the shaping of racial circumstances in Africa and the Western world. The African world went from barely any contact with any nations outside of Africa pre-1400, to vast trade with European nations and the West by the 1800s. The major change in communication and trade affected the way in which the economy flourished and countries evolved. The introduction of African slaves to the Western world through trade because of disenclavement and the emergence of capitalism are the two main events that influenced the racial circumstances in Africa and the Western world.

In chapter 4, Singer offers another approach to increase donations that aligns well with the mechanisms of the modern global economy. He states that effective altruists often consider taking a job within a high-paying field, most notably corporate and finance. His reasoning is that the earning more can help you donate more (Singer, 2015, p. 39). By earning money at a faster rate, you can afford to give larger donations to effective charities. It may seem like a simple approach at first, but it is important to consider that the jobs with the highest pay are often found in industries that are worsening the plight of the poor through exploitation and unfair business practices. How much good is actually being done then, if in the process one is actually putting down the people one is attempting to uplift? In other words, earning more to give more might not seem like a moral decision as it drives inequality in the capitalistic society we live in today.
How does United States inflation affect the sale of goods domestically and globally? The U.S. economy has great impact locally as well as on the global front.

There are many topics that may labeled as unproven belief, whether there is truly lack of information to cover it or the information on such topics is highly classified. One of the main unproven beliefs that catch everyone’s attention is the New World Order assuming that there is nearly 1% of the citizens, so-called elite power, who own 90% of the world, including realty, factories and governments. There has not been much information on One World Order until recently, when a mass leak slipped into journalists’ hands.
