In the 1500’s the world was run on an Independent world, which meant that all countries were depending on their selves. Throughout the early to late 1500’s countries were trading with each other for goods either with money or other goods that other countries were unable to produce themselves.

These countries were trading materials such as gold, sugar, tobacco, and metals, and other raw materials that were valuable. By the 1700 the world was turning more interdependent.

Although his tone is persuasive and formal, he is straightforward with the tragic events he describes that take place in the underdeveloped countries. Throughout the essay, he makes a connection with his audience. In the beginning of the essay, he directly gets to the problem that he wants to discuss and establishes the message he wants to pass to his readers through his thesis statement. He presents a logical argument with the numerical data, along with dates and numbers that strongly support his claim of a global food problem. By referencing to recent events such as the “World Food Crisis” article of 2008 and the review of “environmental performance of agriculture”, that was published in 2008, he alerts readers that what he is discussing is currently happening, and is going to be a much larger impact on the world in the future.

Throughout Canadian history, free trade in particular has changed Canada and it’s economy for the better. The free trade agreement (FTA) signed in 1989, assisted Canada’s economy in many ways, such as removing most of the tariffs on trade goods, increasing trade with the USA, and leading the way to the creation and signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). All of these boosted Canada’s economy and strengthened the bonds with new and old trade partners. After this agreement was established, it becomes clear very quickly that the FTA was exactly what Canada needed. As well as opened new doors to opportunities for Canada.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal was concluded, and it lowered the trade barriers among the United States and 11 others Pacific Rim nations. The Trans-Pacific Partnership's objective is to facilitate countries specializing in exporting and producing goods and services, though some of its rules fabricate new markets or protect certain industries. One prevalent point of the deal is to protect drugs that were created by biotechnology from competition, ultimately allowing market exclusivity in each country. In addition, many people are averse about the deal, stating that tariffs will provide a "backdoor for more Chinese goods to enter the United States" ( ) and advocating that it [the deal] defends monopolies. Despite the negative effects

The Trans-Pacific Partnership is also expected to enhance the global food security, especially for countries who have major food needs. By improving global food security, the starvation levels will decrease and the poverty levels will increase in less developed nations. Overall, it seems that the Trans-Pacific Partnership will be extremely beneficial to the economies of the countries who have signed the agreement. By increasing trade, reducing tariffs, expanding jobs and opportunities, and reducing poverty, the economies of these countries will
The advantages of NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) among the U.S., Canada, and Mexico is an interesting topic. This is due to how NAFTA as a 1994 agreement between the nations above has lifted many restrictions on the exports, and imports involving agriculture. The topic is important due to the fact that it is the most detailed free trade agreement during its conception, and has established many breakthroughs. These breakthroughs involve establishing more effective processes in production, and improving the conditions of work and standards of living. NAFTA has created a legacy that has served to as a model for later FTAs the U.S. can use with other nations (Villarreal & Fergusson, 2014).
