Even as you are doing that (and even as I get to grading your Essay 2) it is my job to bug you with one more task--the final Discussion Question.
For this week, I have three pieces for you that look at some of the important, but not that much discussed, aspects of international trade. I would like you to read through them--each one is fascinating in its own way--and provide us with your take on those reports.
In this final round of discussions, I would like you to tell us, with respect to each of the pieces:
- What was absolutely new to you in them?
- Have you even vaguely heard about these before?
- What is the significance--from a consumer perspective?
- What is the significance--from a government perspective?
You do not need to respond to each and every one of those four questions--go after as many as you want to, even if only one. The key though is to bring in fresh insights so that you do not echo your fellow-student's comments, and to continue the conversations.
