1 Global Interdependence

2 Looking at a map is not sufficient to realize the extent to which people around the world interact with each other. As the world economy expands, these interactions increase. As national leaders try to improve the standard of living of their people, more natural resources are needed. Because these resources are not uniformly distributed throughout the world, they are exchanged between regions. They are then turned into products that may be used locally or shipped to consumers around the world, resulting in increased global interdependence.

3 Imagine if you were allowed to wear clothes that were made only in your state. What if you had food to eat that was grown and processed only in your state? How would your life be different?

4 How many people does it take to make an ordinary wooden pencil? EBERHARD FABER MONGOL 482

5 Cedar trees are used because their grain is very straight.

6 Lumber jacks in Oregon and northern California cut down cedar trees.

7 The logs are loaded onto trucks...

8 … and delivered to a mill in San Leandro California.

9 Trucks run on diesel fuel.

10 Where do we get the crude oil needed to make diesel gas?

11 Much of the oil imported into the U.S. comes from OPEC countries like Saudi Arabia

12 At the mill in San Leandro, the logs are cut into rectangular blocks called slats. Each slat is 7 inches (17.78 centimeters) long and 3 inches (7.62 centimeters) wide, and one-quarter inch (0.63 centimeters) thick -- half the thickness of a pencil.

13 The slats are shipped by rail to a factory in Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania.

14 When they arrive at the factory, a machine cuts nine grooves into one side of each slat.

15 EBERHARD FABER MONGOL 482 Pencil Factory At the factory, resources from around the world are combined to make a pencil.

16 The “lead” used in pencils is a mixture of graphite, clay, and gums. EBERHARD FABER MONGOL 482

17 Graphite is mined in Sri Lanka

18 … is loaded on a ship in a paper sack...

19 … and is shipped to the United States.

20 Workers in Japan built the ship that carries the graphite to the U.S.

21 The ship is registered in Liberia.

22 The ship is owned by a French-Dutch joint venture.

23 Candelilla wax from Mexico is added to make the pencil lead smooth and strong.

24 The graphite and candelilla wax are then mixed with clay from Mississippi to make the lead in the pencil.

25 A machine puts this mixture of graphite, clay and wax into the grooves of a slat.

26 Then two slats are glued together to make a “pencil sandwich”.

27 Nine pencils are carved out of each pencil sandwich.

28 EBERHARD FABER MONGOL 482 Each pencil then receives several coats of lacquer.

29 Castor oil is one of the main ingredients of lacquer. Farmers in tropical Africa grow castor beans

30 EBERHARD FABER MONGOL 482 The black lettering on a pencil is a combination of carbon black and resins.

31 A plant in Borger, Texas, makes carbon black.

32 The piece of metal that holds the eraser is called the ferrule. It is made of brass, which is a combination of zinc and copper. Two thirds of the world’s reserves of zinc are in the U.S., Canada, Australia, the Former Soviet Union, and Ireland. EBERHARD FABER MONGOL 482

33

34 Sources of copper include Bolivia, Chile, and Zambia

35 The plug, or eraser, is a combination of many different ingredients including pumice from Italy. EBERHARD FABER MONGOL 482

36

37 The substance that erases is the result of a chemical reaction between sulfur chloride and the oil from a seed grown in Indonesia. EBERHARD FABER MONGOL 482

39 How many people participate in the production of a pencil? Far more than anyone would suspect. And only a few of those involved even know that a pencil is the end result of their labor. Through specialization, people from around the world contribute to the end product. Without even knowing it, they interact with each other indirectly. How much does this pencil cost? Less than a quarter -- far less than if any single person tried to produce it with no one else’s help. The international pencil is a bargain.

40 People from around the world are involved in making a pencil. EBERHARD FABER MONGOL 482
