I gave you an assignment today that you do individually or with a partner, in which you will do research on a transnational corporation. We also started watching the film "The Corporation" today, and we'll finish it on Friday.
I gave you a handout yesterday on the World Trade Organization (the WTO). Please read this booklet. On the back page of this booklet, there is the anti-globalization perspective, "Arguments Against the WTO". read and highlight this page. Next, I want you to go to the following website to see how the WTO might refute some of the arguments against their organization: "Ten Common Misunderstandings about the WTO." I would like you to make a chart, with arguments in favor of the WTO and arguments against the WTO, using these two sources as the basis. This WTO assignment is due on tomorrow, and it will be worth double the usual homework check marks, so make sure that it's done!

You wrote your in-class position paper today. Please send me 5 questions tonight by e-mail (if you didn't do it last night) to receive partial homework check credit. We will be playing a review game tomorrow in class.
