I gave you back the results for your Unit 2 Final Exam today. I also assigned your Chapter 10 Key Terms and Questions for homework. I will be doing a homework check on this on Monday. I will also give you your text-based source on Monday in preparation of your Unit 2 Written Response Assignment II (in-class position paper) and I'll give you some time to do in-class brainstorming of potential arguments and examples/evidence for your essays.

Hi Mr. G,
What is the difference between 'How has the expansion of this transnational corporation affected people's lives economically, socially and politcally' and the questions 'How has this TNC affected the lives of consumers/lives of people in developing countries?'
Can we briefly explain the first answer, and then go in depth? Thanks.

Sure.

I think it's okay to use it. Just make sure that their information is on the up and up (reliable).

The process.
How long should the brief description be?
----------------------
I don't set limits on these things. Typically though the brief description is half a page to a page.

That sounds fine to me.
'Summarize points of view and perspectives of the TNC'.
Does that mean the TNC's perspective, or people's/consumers perspectives on the TNC?

----------------------------
This would be a good place to do a T-chart (advantages/disadvantages, supporters/critics) on perspectives on the TNC.
wal-mart strictly opposes unions, like it refuses to be part of a trade union. would that be an advantage or disadvantage?

-----------------------
Depends on your perspective. Try to think of this chart similar to the way I did Wal-Mart in class. In other words, what would supporters say about Wal-Mart? What would critics of Wal-Mart say?
can all our information for the tnc project be in point form?
for the tnc project, can outsourcing be a disadvantage and an advantage? cuz it takes jobs away from local workers, but it offers jobs to other people
for the question 'how has the TNC affected the lives of consumers' are u looking for an economic affect or social affects or any kind of affect?

----------------
Most of it. I don't think the entire thing should be in point form.

-----------------------
Yes. It depends on your perspective.
for the question 'how has the TNC affected the lives of consumers' are u looking for an economic affect or social affects or any kind of affect?
-----------------
Any kind of effect.
for the question 'how has the tnc affected the lives of consumers' i cant find any source that answers that question so can i make it up from my own knowledge?
what do you mean by the question: 'how did this transnational corporation evolve into a prime example of economic globalization?'
for the question 'how has the tnc affected the lives of consumers' i cant find any source that answers that question so can i make it up from my own knowledge?
----------------------
Interesting sentence..."make it up from my own knowledge". Are we talking about 'common sense' or 'common knowledge'?
what do you mean by the question: 'how did this transnational corporation evolve into a prime example of economic globalization?'
------------------------
If you look in your textbook, I based this assignment on a skill path, and that was one of the questions for inquiry. Let's see if I can re-word it for you. TNCs have contributed to the expansion of economic globalization, right? Well, how did this TNC contribute to the expansion of economic globalization and vice versa (how did the TNC contribute to the evolution and expansion of globalization?). I hope this helps.
we're talking about common knowledge and common sense.

No limits.

Yes, just make you cite it properly.
are we allowed to use information on wikipedia?
what is the difference between a referendum and a plebiscite?
-------------------------
A referendum is a direct vote in which an entire electorate is asked to either accept or reject a particular proposal. We've had referendums in the past in Canada, for example the Quebec Referendums in 1980 and 1995, a national referendum on the Charlottetown Accord as well. A plebiscite is essentially the same thing (it's a direct vote) and sometimes the two terms are used interchangeable, but the term plebiscite is also used refer to a vote by which the people of a political unit determine autonomy or affiliation with another country. You should have been taught examples of this last year in 20-1 when you studied post-WWI Europe and they had votes of national self-determination to determine which country border districts would choose to join. I hope this helps.
