· The balance of power in Eastern/Southern Asia – what are the consequences of economic growth?
I think that this countries are a motivation, because we all know that their history isn't very good or “happy history” but in the recent years they had grown in a rapidly way, I looked for some information and I think what makes India powerful is their connections with some big countries, and that they are making new jobs and because they have the facility of talking the same language as the American (us) that's why they are making new works and new companies, and because the population in India is extreme they need more works and more works.
· Do you consider China to be a threat to the rest of the world? Do not just write yes or no, I would like an explanation of your view, JUSTIFIED with some piece of evidence, for example maybe something you have read. Is China in particular a threat to the unipolar system, and will it challenge the dominant position of the United States?
I think that yes it would be a BIG conflict especially with the USA because (history ALWAYS repeats) and no so far away from this time the USA was in a “war” competing ho was the best country of the world, why? Because they want to have the power! And I think that another cold war can happen because of that. Another reason that makes my statement more solid is that the USA and China doesn't have the same type of government. One is capitalist and the other is centralist.
· What are the potential positive and/or negative impacts on the people of China and India of globalisation? Consider the way in which globalisation affects economies, because of free trade doctrine, and consider technology and culture, as will be mentioned in class.
As we know Chinese people are recognized from their straight and very healthy food, but they will eat at Burger King? I think that this will really affect the people that lives in china and I think that in India also the same problem will occurs even though they have clean and “kind of healthy” food, and they will eat on this type of restaurants because is easier, because life with more globalisation influence is faster an d faster. Another aspect that i think it will shock people in china could be that they are not used to use technology, in the mountains and other parts were technology is not able to get, so in that case it will be hard to knew something new, but they have to.
