International Politics and Economics Project

PART B

 

Congratulations !

 

You have just been made Supreme Ruler of the country that you have chosen out of an old laser printer toner box!

 

You have absolute control over your country’s politics, diplomacy and economic system.

 

You now must use your control of these things to solve your country’s greatest crisis (which you also, coincidentally, pulled out of an old laser printer toner box)

 

On the Document that you have created with your name and the name of your country, (The one you just sent me) you are going to create a “step-by-step” “plan of action” that will address your countries particular crisis. (Hunger, Child Labor, etc…)

 

Use the “Project Form” that you created, and the links on my website (the ones listed under the name of your country) to learn about your country’s particular crisis.

 

1. Read and take notes on each of the articles (paying close attention to the Economic, Cultural, Political and Diplomatic factors you finds that are particular to your country.)

 

2. Create a “plan of action” that will remedy your crisis and send me the finished plan on your document. The plan MUST address/deal with all the Economic, Cultural, Political and Diplomatic factors that are a part of your country’s culture and infrastructure.

 

You are limited by these same factors as well. For example if your country was devoutly Catholic and your issue is “Overpopulation” you could not rely on abortion or birth control to fix the problem, since the Catholic Church does not allow these things.

 

If you have any questions regarding this part of the assignment, please let me know ASAP !
