World Peace Through World Trade: The New York World's Fair

In trade routes and otherwise greed led to violence. This was demonstrated through slavery, piracy, and control of ivory and opium. African slavery began from greed; Europeans needed labor to fuel their large trading productions and manufacturing of the traded goods. Mesoamerican slavery and destruction was caused by the Spanish conquistadors in their infamous quest for gold, god, and glory. Through greed the conquistadors decimated an entire civilization to obtain their gold. However the British and Dutch reaped many economic benefits of this perhaps even without knowledge of where their wealth had come from. Piracy, also fueled by greed, began as small bands, but eventually transformed into large companies of corporate raiders. The

The twin towers were the tallest buildings in the world with 110 stories. Everyday, 45,000 people walked to their work in the World Trade Centers. Little did the employees know, Tuesday, September 11, 2001 would be the last day they ever stepped foot in the buildings. At 8:46 a.m., the unthinkable happened. American Airline flight 11 hit the north tower of the World Trade Center. The plane burst into flames which started the tower on fire. Workers and visitors fled to

After the attacks on September 11, it tooks several months to get things mostly back to normal in New York. Lots of people worked very hard and long days to get the streets clean and get New York back to normal. To replace the two buildings after the attacks The One World Trade Center was built, and wa finished in 2014. This is now the tallest Building in the U.S today. There was also a memorial set up to honor the people who were killed in the attack in 2001, and the bombing that took place in

“Twin Towers”, the tallest building in the world at the time, were built between 1975- 1985, with a total construction cost of $400 million. The towers were located in the World Trade Center, a large commercial complex of seven buildings. On the morning of September 11, 2001, Al-Qaeda members hijacked two Boeing 767 jets into both towers. I vividly remember that dreadful day, I was working in a doctor’s office when my boss received a call from her mother. I can remember her trembling voice screaming: “We are under attack”. Immediately, we turned on the television and that was when we saw the images of the North tower covered in flames

In the Loose Change 911 documentaries and stories presented a clear but obscured narrative comes forth in regards to the 9/11 attacks that raise important and crucial understandings to what has been commonly perceived and hidden. Specifcally in the videos provided for this week's lecture, the understanding of the collapse of the buildings, specifically the steel frames is called into question in Architects for 911, Richard Gage AIA, a architect of almost thirty years states, states the trade center buildings are a “incredibly” devastation that needs to be “investigated”. Specifcally Richard Gage brings into question the third trade center building in New York that was, according to the professional archetiect: “Third two… fourty seven stories

The World Trade Center (WTC) represented American pride and influnce. The twin towers stood 1,352 feet with 110 stories. It was finished in 1971. The morning of September 11 no one knew that four flights would be hijacked to take American lives and using two of them to bring down the World Trade Center. Yes there had been warnings that an aviation attack would happen but who knew when it would happen and how would it have been prevented. Flight 11 American Airlines (AA) hit the North Tower around 8:46 am between the

My personal design of The World Trade center would consist of a large a large space needle. The height would be approximately 682.5 feet tall. I came up with this number by adding the average height of the twin towers and dividing it in half. This would make it the largest space needle in the United States. The top of my space needle would be in the shape of a large globe. I elected to use this design because it would symbolize the diverse group of individuals that were affected from the attacks. At the top of the space needle inside of my large globe it would display all the names of the victims along the walls. I would use the

Nearly 17 years ago a tragic event happened in New York City just around the beginning of winter. Four planes were hijacked and were headed toward an important and big building in New York City and Washington D.C. Only three out of four hit the important buildings they were heading for in New York City and Washington D.C. Now one of the biggest buildings in West New York City, the World Trade Center, is home to a huge memorial museum from the tragic day of September 11, 2001.

During the 50s, lower Manhattan was full of rundown and abandoned buildings. Full of small businesses, a small population, and a bad economy, lower Manhattan was in need of a change. To fix this major problem, organizers of the WTC wanted to clean up and transform the lower side of Manhattan by building it there.

On the New York skyline once stood a set of towers known as the World Trade Center and nicknamed the Twin Towers. After the attacks on a normal routine morning in New York City, those towers were no longer there. After several years of planning and designing, a new tower now stands and has been labeled One World Trade Center, also known as the Freedom Tower. In the shadow of the recently completed tower are two reflecting pools that were once the foundation of the fallen towers. During the design process and upon completion a public opinion arose with some saying, “building this tower means the terrorists won.” Others say it’s a symbolism for rebirth and moving forward. After visiting New York, watching the building process of the new tower,

Problem: Working class Americans experience difficulties in finding work as labor intensive jobs are moved abroad. At the same time free trade is beneficial for the global economy as a whole. Here we can see a clash in interests as the interests of those in developing countries are protected as well by the WTO and free trade tends to be beneficial for the economy as a whole. However, the problem is that 20% of the prime male working population between the ages of 25-54 are unemployed and this number is around 35% of those who don’t have a high school diploma. For marginalized groups such as African American males the teen unemployment is over 40% and that of young black men from the ages of 16-24 is over 30%.

     The World Trade Organization (WTO) is the only global international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations. The goal is to help producers of goods and services, exporters, and importers conduct their business. The World Trade Organization came into being in 1995. One of the youngest of the international organizations, the WTO is the successor to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) established in the wake of the Second World War. The World Trade Organization exists to ensure that trade between nations flows as smoothly, predictably and freely as possible. It provides and regulates the legal issues which governs world trade now .

The World Trade Organization (WTO) is a global organization that helps countries and producers of goods deal fairly and smoothly with conducting their business across international borders. It mainly does this through WTO agreements, which are negotiated and signed by a large majority of the trading nations in the world. The purpose of the WTO is to ensure that global trade commences freely, smoothly and predictably while also aiming to create economic peace and stability in the world through a multilateral system. This is based and applied to member states, currently 162 countries, that have consented and ratified the rules of the WTO in their individual countries. Simply put, these documents act as contracts that provide the legal framework for conducting business among nations, integrating into a country 's domestic legal system, therefore, applying to local companies and nationals in the conduct of business internationally. For instance, if a company were to open an office or business in a foreign country, the rules of the WTO dictates how that can be done.1

Fair trade can be defined as a social movement thats objective is to help producers in developing countries make better trading conditions and elevate sustainability. Fair trade is contrasting to the other trade practices in our world, its about making codes of fairness in the marketplace. The practice of fair trade seeks to reshape the way we buy and sell products - to verify that all farmers and skilled workers behind the manufacturing of goods get a better deal. Most people would assume this as a better means for prices, however can include better and longer lasting relationships. Fair trade is also about information, having the knowledge as to where are food/products are coming from, and having the knowledge that all products were
