Module 8

5. Modern global system produced economy's unstable and unsteady progress leading to inequality. Divisions between Developed rich Nations of the North & Developing Nations of the South in income worsened the North/South Gap. The difference in incomes, medical care, clean water, education, employment, the internet, etc. between the rich and poor shaped life chances. Active resistance by rich countries such as the 1970's when a large group of developing countries joined together to demand a "new international economic order" that was more favorable to the poor countries; not much success followed with this effort. Common action between Developing Nations was difficult to achieve because of their different economic agendas. Spurred new movements of anti-globalization in the 1990s

14. The explosion of the human population that quadrupled in a single century. Human activity altered the natural order on a global or even geological proportion. Growing numbers of the poor & growing consumption of the rich led to doubling of cropland & contraction of the world's forests & grasslands. Plant & animal species disappeared or became almost extinct because of diminished/ing habitats. Modern industry was dependent on fossil fuels which increased pollution. Global Warming!! Trapping greenhouse gases and loss of tree means warming of the atmosphere.

22. Communism achieved a lot until it fell at a significant rate since the 1970s, leaving it fairly unsuccessful. Nationalism has almost always achieved its goal in one way or another. More often times than not though there's a twist to achieving the goal it was set to accomplish. Democracy was able to see mixed results as it failed for the most part in eastern countries as the cultures weren't set up for that type of govt, but in the west it flourished. This means it was only half as successful as what it was intended to be. Feminism was able to achieve a large amount of its goals though there are a handful left unsolved to this day. Women have WAY more rights in today's world than in the past, however (especially in some parts of the world) it is still not completely equal. It was extremely successful for the context of the century. Internationalism increased with globalization shown in the creation of the United Nations. This was fairly successful at what it set out to do.
