And Coffee has a major role in it. The beginning of the Fair trade in Coffee industry came out as a result of the Second World War. This was mainly found in the Dutch colonies in the East Indies. After Ages past and the Storms started to rest the industry of coffee started to grow larger day by day. Now the largest source of coffee can be found in Uganda and Tanzania followed by Latin American countries such as Guatemala and Costa Rica. With the dawn on the 20th century the power over this industry shifted to Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom where United States and Switzerland are on the lead. The slight difference in here is that the small laborers and farmers dominate the production of coffee in Latin American countries such as Peru. The other part that the fair trade should be expanded is in the field of clothing because there are occasions when one can identify the difference of the people s clothes under the same pole.

Trade has been a driving force in global history, shaping societies and economies across the world. It helped bring in many resources to other countries through cultural diffusion and opened new opportunities for citizens. Nevertheless, trading has also caused overproduction in certain areas and limited resources available. Trade has been shown in global history through Middle Eastern trade routes (Document 1), Timbuktu during the height of the Mali Empire (Document 2), and Caravans from the northern coast (Document 2). Trade had a significant impact on culture and society.
Benjamin Franklin said, “No nation was ever ruined by trade.” During the early modern era, technological advancements in shipbuilding and increased knowledge on wind and current patterns made global trading possible. The increased flow of trade in the 1300s through 1800s created important social relations and economic opportunities due to the increased integration of foreign people and desire to be wealthiest and most powerful, while improving government, culture, and ideas in the modern world.

Over the course of many years, coffee made its way to Europe through trade and helped Europe to come out of its drunken and alcohol induced haze that has lasted for centuries. This, in of itself, is a huge impact to history, despite the fact that Europe had been drinking mostly alcohol for the past few centuries and the people 's initial dislike of coffee, the drink somehow managed to take over the Western World.

Finally, there will be some counterarguments opposing comparative advantage theory. Ricardo’s basic idea about the foreign trade is that it is beneficial and that all members can gain advantage if each country produces what it is specialized in (Ricardo 1817). He provides an example of Portugal and England producing both the cloth and the wine, which have to spent different amount of resources on the production of two given goods. If Portugal has to spent the labor of 80 people for one year on the production of the wine or 90 workers on the cloth, England may need 120 and 100 people for this. Although, Portugal has an absolute advantage, which means it requires less resources on both goods, it is better to produce the wine only and exchange it to the cloth from England, since England has comparative advantage in the cloth: if it uses 100 labor for the cloth, it loses 5/6
