Question 1

Which of the following highlights the global mobility of capital in the world since 1945?&#10;A) Global justice movement&#10;B) Import substitution industrialization&#10;C) Foreign direct investment&#10;D) Reverse development aid

Accepted Answer

Foreign direct investment (FDI) has facilitated the global mobility of capital since 1945. FDI occurs when a company invests in or acquires a foreign company or establishes a subsidiary in a foreign country. This allows for the transfer of resources, technology and expertise across borders, leading to increased economic interdependence and globalization. Import substitution industrialization (ISI) refers to a strategy adopted by some developing countries to reduce their dependence on imports by encouraging domestic production of goods. The global justice movement seeks to promote more equitable distribution of resources across the world and challenge the power dynamics of global capitalism. Reverse development aid is a hypothetical scenario where developed countries receive aid from less developed countries.

Question 2

Which of the following was a more central issue in environmental movements in developing countries than in the industrial West?&#10;A) Controlling air pollution&#10;B) Securing food supplies&#10;C) Protecting wilderness areas&#10;D) Stopping global warming

Accepted Answer

Developing countries often face challenges in securing food supplies due to issues such as inadequate agricultural infrastructure, unstable weather patterns, and lack of access to technology and resources. Protecting wilderness areas and stopping global warming may still be important issues, but the focus on food security tends to be more central in environmental movements in developing countries. Controlling air pollution may be a more pressing issue in some developing countries, but food security remains a key concern.

Accepted Answer

Islamic fundamentalist groups have sought to create a distinctly Islamic modernity not dependent on Western ideas since the 1970s.

This rejection of Western influence is a fundamental component of their ideology.

The availability of and terms for foreign aid has been a contentious issue between the Global North (developed countries) and the Global South (developing countries) since 1945. There have been disagreements over the amount and type of aid provided, as well as the conditions and terms attached to it.

Accepted Answer

The map showing the global distribution of McDonald's highlights the aspect of soft power in the so-called American Empire. Soft power refers to the ability of a country to influence others through its culture, ideology, and values rather than through military or economic means. In this case, the widespread popularity of McDonald's in many countries around the world reflects the influence of American culture and values on a global scale.
