Global Interaction

This page is about important trends that will affect the future of the world

Globalization

The world is not always a peaceful place. There's wars and it is really hard for 2 countries to be at peace. But that does not mean that there can't be allies.

These are some of the things that the world exchange on.

  • Political engagement, including participation in treaties, organisations, and peacekeeping
  • Technological connectivity, including the number of internet users, hosts, and secure servers
  • Personal contact, including telephone, travel and remittances
  • Economic integration, including international trade and foreign direct investment

We depend on each other.

G7

The G7 originated when seven countries, including the United States, joined together to address the oil embargo in 1973 that had been triggered by Western support for Israel in the Yom Kippur War. G7 is short for the Group of Seven Industrialized Nations and it included the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, and Canada. Since 1991, Russia regularly met with countries at the G7 summit and in 1998, it was added to form the G8.


In summary, it is when country learders meet to talk about their plans and peace for the world.


Here is a short video about the G7 and how powerful it is.
