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

Our nation is built around the drastic events that we have had to endure. These events shape our laws and sometimes force us to reexamine our constitution. When the laws are made with the stem of fear the laws can become destructive. We often see this when traumatic events unfold in our nation. 9/11 is one of those events. Not only did the historically traumatic event of 9/11 shape our nation, it shaped all of the world. The Twin Towers were the major buildings of the entire complex that made the World Trade Center. The Twin Towers themselves were the tallest buildings in New York City. They each had 110 stories. Together they provided the room needed to accommodate about 35,000 people for 430 companies. In addition to this, they attracted people from all around the world. A rough estimate would say they attracted roughly 70,000 New Yorker’s and tourists daily. (1)

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

“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

Sixteen years ago, on a late-summer Tuesday morning on the North East, some said you could see miles out from the highest buildings. In New York specifically, the day was like every other for most people.New York’s mayoral elections were being held that day, Jennifer Lopez’s new hit,“I'm Real”, was sailing the charts, the movie, “Hardball”, just released to moderate acclaim, and an economic recession was coming to an end. Millions were on commute around the country, and for people in New York City, It was no different. The Twin Towers, part of the most famous skyline in the world, was part of the World Trade Center Complex which was made up of seven different buildings. Approximately 50,000 people worked in the complex, and another 140,000

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

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

He was like a lion ready for his prey. The New York lawmakers already turned down the past idea of a world trade center in Manhattan, but with his proof that these towers would secure the future of New York’s ports forever, he had no doubt. Therefore, in January of 1960 David Rockefeller presented his plan. Two years later the proposal was authorized. And in 1966 Rockefeller watched his plans unfold. The dusk mask is slinged around his ears as he watched the demolition begin. The local radio stores were put out of business as the wrecking ball crashed into their windows. But David Rockefeller showed no sympathy for her knew what would come out of this masterpiece. Or he thought he knew.

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

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

When the world trade center was first opened in 1937, it was considered to be one of the greatest construction projects in United States history. The twin towers, standing at 1,368 feet tall and 1,362 feet tall, were the two tallest buildings that the world had ever seen (The World Trade Center). Not only was the World Trade Center an institute for office space and shopping, but it also served as a tourist attraction that people from all across the globe would come to see. The towers went on to became a part of the daily life of New York City. Consequently, no one could have foreseen the horrendous events that would occur on September 11, 2001. Not even the President of the United States could have expected something of this magnitude.

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

     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 .

In 1904, millions of people visited the Philippine Exhibit at the St. Louis World’s Fair, observing the displays of native Filipinos and leaving with an impression of savagery. However, this impression was hardly incidental. To what extent was the 1904 World’s Fair an attempt by the United States government to justify its imperialist involvement in the Philippines? This fair was carefully engineered by the United States government to impart an uncivilized impression of Filipinos onto American fairgoers, thereby justifying the need for US involvement. This commission was a committee ordained by the US government to govern the newly acquired Philippine islands. This portion of the fair would likely not be present if the United
