International Trade Webquest

I hope that by completing this webquest you now appreciate the complexity of international trade and the need to look at challenging questions from different perspectives. It's clear the world is full of complex topics that need sharp-thinking people to understand them and make decisions. There is a saying, "Knowledge is Power." Through your team's activities, you've learned strategies for analyzing complex topics, formulating action plans, and working together toward effective compromise solutions. Now it is up to you to use this new power that you have gained.

Ideas for further exploration:

Review the platforms of the two major parties in the last presidential election to see how they compare with your policy recommendations.
Do the parties seem to lean toward one of the "goal choices" (economic growth, healthy planet, high standard of living, etc.)?
How do their stated policies relate to recent trade agreements like the Central American- Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement which was signed in August 2005?
