In what way(s) do you see the historical developments described in this chapter continuing to evolve in our world today? Make a separate blog post for each chapter.
Globalization has heightened since 1945 in today's world. After World War II, the United States worked hard to not fall into an economy much like the Depression-era. The world's economy continues to transform and repeat behaviors in history, only to get the same results it seems. Factors such as feminism, capitalism, environmentalism, fundamentalism, global modernity display the impacts of capitalism and culture in our world. Working backward until now - In 1945, the UN, World Bank, and International Monetary Fund was established. In the 1960's there was a rise in feminism, and the Six-day Arab-Israeli war happened. In the 1970's Greenpeace was established, and the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women was adopted by the United Nations and created the Iranian revolution. In the 1980's the Law of Sea Convention established an international agreement about the used of the world's ocean. In the 1990's, The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was enacted and protocol on global warming was established. In the early 2000's, the September 11th attacks on the World Trade occurred, the global economic crisis began and Osama Bin Laden was killed. Current day, we are going head-on with another Great Depression and facing a pandemic that is wiping out populations and impacting the opportunity for globalization and decreasing the level of our current economic conditions. Also, feminism is at a peak again with the #MeToo movement, just as it was in the 1960's. And now the president wants to part with the World Health Organization (WHO). WHO works worldwide to promote health, keep the world safe, and serve the vulnerable.
