The cultural centers of the western world seemed to move with the rise and fall of various cultures. The 19th century was the Age of Victoria, and thus London grew to be the cultural middle of the west. It held onto that title, even after the British Empire had started to fall apart. However, with the huge expansion of the US presence in world affairs following WWII, as emphasized by the locating of the UN Headquarters in NYC, New York found its role in the financial and cultural currents of the world equally expanded. Thus, you find major literary artists from Allen Ginsberg to Phillip Roth to John Updike located there; modern art seemed to move naturally into the environment; and the music scene, from classical (Bernstein) to cutting edge jazz (Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane) became the soundtrack of the era.explain

Would you agree with Global Standards not American Standards regarding ethics in the global business environment? Elaborate your answer.
1. Globalization does not just influence the cultures of businesses, but those of societies. What are potential cultural implications for this country that relies heavily on globalization? What is the “social responsibility” of global-focused businesses that provide employment to outside countries through outsourcing?
2. Suppose you are responsible for creating a management team for a company that has made the decision to expand its operations globally. What are some factors you would need to consider while assembling your team of managers? How would these identified factors possible influence business transactions in different cultures? How would the theories presented in this week’s readings influence your hiring and placement decisions?
In a committee meeting of the United Nations you are considering the following questions:
1.When is international trade an opportunity for workers? When is it a threat to workers?
2.What are some of the major challenges confronting the international trading system?
According to Ricardian trade theory, nations are better off when trade barriers are removed; each nation specializes in the area where they have a comparative advantage, and they trade. What does that imply for a country’s workers? What does this imply for workers in the industrialized countries? What does this imply for workers in developing countries? Does it matter in which industry they work?
This assignment points out that there are gainers and losers to this approach. American workers in heavy industry have certainly felt changes. There must be some areas where the United States would have a comparative advantage — and one would expect workers in those industries to do well. ie, how would workers in high-tech industries fare? What industries should the US specialize in? What about workers in the countries from which we import goods? When will they benefit? When will they lose?

Does free trade harm the environment?
Environmentalists argue that trade liberalization harms the environment. The decisions of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in particular have been the subject of much criticism. Carbaugh has described environmentalists’ three primary assertions (Carbaugh, 2004):
1.Trade liberalization leads to a “race to the bottom” in environmental standards.
2.Trade liberalization conflicts with morally-conscious environmental policies.
3.Trade liberalization encourages trade in products that create global pollution (“pollution havens”).
Proponents of trade liberalization argue that freer trade might actually improve the quality of the environment. For example, the international environmental policy of the U.S. and other industrial nations is based on the “polluter-pays principle.” This approach is intended to give producers the incentive to develop more pollution-control techniques (Carbaugh, 2004).
Part 1: Recreate the arguments/counter-arguments
As a group, use the Small Group Discussion Board to recreate the arguments for and against the three assertions noted above (six arguments total).

For each argument and counter-argument, present the following information:
1.The party you represent
2.Your party’s interests or objectives
3.Your party’s assertion
4.A summary of the available evidence that supports your party’s assertion and/or examples that illustrate the assertion.
Feel free to use the Library or other Web resources to help recreate the arguments.
Part 2: Summarize and evaluate the arguments/counter-arguments
1.Summarize each argument and counter-argument. Be sure to note the relevant parties in the debate and their interests/objectives.
2.Evaluate the arguments and counter-arguments. Be sure to address the following questions:
Can the conflicting positions in these debates be resolved? If yes, how? If not, why not? Your answer should be well-reasoned and supported with examples.

Synopsis: Mesa Co. specializes in the production of small fancy picture frames, which are exported from the United States to the United Kingdom. Mesa invoices the exports in pounds and converts the pounds to dollars when they are received. The British demand for these frames is positively related to economic conditions in the United Kingdom. Assume that British inflation and interest rates are similar to the rates in the United States.
Mesa believes that the U.S. balance of trade deficit from trade between the United States and the United Kingdom will adjust to changing prices between the two countries, while capital flows will adjust to interest rate differentials. Mesa believes that the value of the pound is very sensitive to changing international capital flows and is moderately sensitive to changing international trade flows. Mesa is considering the following information:
_ The U.K. inflation rate is expected to decline, while the U.S. inflation rate is expected to rise.
_ British interest rates are expected to decline, while U.S. interest rates are expected to increase.
My question is: minimum 300 words, APA style, no plagiarism
Explain how the international trade flows should initially adjust in response to the changes in inflation (holding exchange rates constant). Explain how the international capital flows should adjust in response to the changes in interest rates (holding exchange rates constant).
