The Thursday Night Class will turn in the exam in class.

The unasked questions maybe may be used on the final. Each exam will have "left over" questions and I will ask four or five of those questions on the final.

(How long should the answers be? As many paragraphs as it takes to answer the question, some where between three and twelve paragraphs each).

You should not have to do extra research as the questions are tied directly to the text, but feel free to augment your text with any relevant information, just cite it in any common fashion.)

I will pick two of these for Exam 3:

1. Review the UN Declaration of Universal Rights. Why are they called universal? What reasons can you give that many of its provisions are not acceptable to all cultures and all states? Which provisions tend to be acceptable to the most number of states? Which are not? In your opinion, how could the principles be changed to make them acceptable by all states? With these changes, could the UN Declaration still retain its universal character?

2. Do you think that UN intervention in the internal affairs of a sovereign state is justified for human rights abuses? If your answer is yes, should the UN intervene when any human rights is abused or only certain cases? What are these cases? How should the UN intervene: Militarily, or through its social and humanitarian institutions. If you answered no: are there any circumstances where the UN should intervene (eg, mass murder, genocide, mass rape and torture..)?

3. How does the UN serve as a "centralizing agent" for issues of social justice, human rights, and women's rights? How would you evaluate its role in the promotion of rights?

4. What is the role of the World Trade organization (WTO) in the management of the international trading system? How powerful is the WTO? What issues are currently its most contentious?

5. What is the role of international institutions in the management of the international economy? Specifically, discuss the World Bank and the International Monet ray Fund. Do you think that these institutions should be given more or less influence?

6. Of the explanations for the existence of rich and poor countries, which do you find most reasonable and why? Specifically, how should development be measured. If you were to measure a country's development, what three to five indicators would you select as priority yardsticks? Why do you think these are extremely critical to a country being designated as moving towards developmental progress?

7. Globalization has both positive and negative effects on developing countries. In your judgment, what are the three most significant positive and three most significant negative impacts? How, and in what ways, do they affect the development process?

8. Would you agree or disagree with this proposition: "The causes of problems among developing countries may be traced to their neocolonial or dependant status within the global economy"? If you agree, explain why. If you disagree, then cite some other root causes of underdevelopment not clearly associated with neocolonialism or dependency.

 

 

I will pick four of the above and you will email me the answers (please, no attachments) on WEEK 14 (which ends at midnight Sunday May 24.)
