...Karim Chelouati GEOG 4082 Exam 2 Growing debt vs. Dollar Hegemony The economic strength that the U.S achieved to reach Dollar hegemony has led us to gradually veer off into increasing the country’s current account deficits and large debt. It is becoming clear that the current massive U.S debt is directly connected to the Dollar’s hegemony and directly tied to the development of the financialization in the U.S. As a reserve currency fulfills world needs and has the function of a domestic currency, the favored country can build up debt for an extended period of time on a scale that would destroy any other country's currency. But this advantage has two sides to it. The dollar hegemony has allowed the U.S economy to decline quietly under the radars due to its ability to print money freely, which in turn has allowed the U.S fiscal and trade deficit to climb steeply in the past decade at an alarming rate. Globalization with the Dollar dominance took part in undermining the U.S manufacturing power and shifting America’s economy into a financialized direction. The dollar is held so massively in the world by so many countries in the world that it gives the U.S a great leverage to print more money without worrying about inflation as much as another nation engaging the same behavior. But lately the massive printing and lack of investment venues associated to all those dollars has been catching up and draining our possibility financialization...

Another inconvenient that makes Europe be is at the mercy of the climatological changes is the fact that it is far from the artic. This climate changes are affecting us because the weather is being extreme in places is not supposed to be, we are having floods, hurricanes, and ever earthquakes because of this phenomenon. The biggest reason of the climate changes the ice and glaciers melting is because of the greenhouse gases. We all can agree that the planet is changing by itself like everything in this world, everything evolves because that is the way nature is, but humans are rapidly accelerating this process. Almost all of our daily activities involve something that will create greenhouse gases. Technology has become a very important aspect in everyone’s life, the now called smart phones are used throughout the whole day and recharged about 2 or 3 times a day, this makes energy consumption increase each day and this makes global warming increase as well. Also the hurry in which people is leaving these days are making people generate 3 times the garbage they used years ago. The long-term analyses from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change reveal that if we don’t do something...

...in global economic activity. Companies often use transplants for routine assembly work which is known as 'backend work'. This allows the main company base to focus closely on the research and development aspect of the industry. This is the higher paid 'front end work'. A company often sets up a transplant in an area where the raw materials required for the manufacture of their products can be found. This saves transportation costs and the company can avoid import/export tariffs. One of the main reasons for companies setting up transplants is to gain a better understanding of the local market. It is beneficial for a company to manufacture the products in the country where the majority of them are sold. This ensures that local needs can be accounted for, and the product can be adapted according to what people in the market want. Another reason for setting up transplants nearer to the market for the product is to 'compete and co-operate' with rival companies. Healthy competition is good for the company because it encourages them to improve their...

...Fueling Society GEOG 3770 Megan Porter 7636813 Energy has become an integral part of life. Energy was what created the universe, the sun, and the planets including Earth. All life on Earth was created with a form of energy and most of humans daily life today is consumed with at least one type of energy. Without the movement or conservation of energy no activity of any kind can take place. Energy has played an important role in early civilizations, starting with human power and animal power to the fossil fuels that power the world today. Everything that people now possess today has been influenced by energy. It has brought about culture, religion, and new technologies. All types of energy have limits on how much it can produce and when supplies will run out. Since energy has limits it changes the way people view society and the culture people have grown to love. There are many different kinds of energy. Energy is everywhere and is apart of everything. All the different forms have one thing in common, that they have the ability to work but have limits. Energy is not just part of life, it is life. Every single person has used energy to think and to do. Some people have had different forms of energy as part of their lives, but it all comes down to how energy has influenced how humans became a society. “From the beginning of history energy has been used by the heat from bodies, and natural energy from sunlight were the first sources. Then came fire, animals, water and...
