 Developed – sovereign state that has a highly developed economy and advanced technological infrastructure  Developing – nations whose economies are based on agriculture and the export of natural resources  Major differences between the two: 1. standard of living 2. Quality of life 3. Availability of resources 4. Industry and technology

 What impact do the decisions made by global organizations have on the economic progress of developing nations?

 4. North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) - A regulation implemented January 1, 1994 in Mexico, Canada and the United States to eliminate most tariffs on trade between these nations.   5. European Union (EU) – independent European nations that enforce rules a regulations regarding things like the environment and currency (issued a common currency called the euro in 1999)   6. Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) – group that controls the world’s oil prices

 How has globalization aided the rapid spread of highly contagious diseases?

 World Health Organization (WHO) – the directing and coordinating authority for health within the United Nations system.  responsible for: 1. providing leadership on global health matters 2. shaping the health research agenda 3. setting norms and standards 4. articulating evidence-based policy options 5. providing technical support to countries 6. monitoring and assessing health trends

 “Human Immunodeficiency Virus”  A unique type of virus (a retrovirus)  Invades the helper T cells (CD4 cells) in the body of the host (defense mechanism of a person) – body attacks itself  Threatening a global epidemic.  Preventable, manageable but not curable.

 “Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome”  HIV is the virus that causes AIDS  Disease limits the body’s ability to fight infection due to markedly reduced helper T cells.  Patients have a very weak immune system (defense mechanism)  Patients predisposed to multiple infections leading to death.

 Malaria - a mosquito-borne disease caused by a parasite. People with malaria often experience fever, chills, and flu-like illness. Left untreated, they may develop severe complications and die. In 2010 an estimated 219 million cases of malaria occurred worldwide and 660,000 people died, most (91%) in the African Region.   Tuberculosis (TB) - TB is a disease caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The bacteria usually attack the lungs, but TB bacteria can attack any part of the body such as the kidney, spine, and brain. If not treated properly, TB disease can be fatal. TB disease was once the leading cause of death in the United States. 

 Cholera - Cholera is an acute, diarrheal illness caused by infection of the intestine with the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. An estimated 3- 5 million cases and over 100,000 deaths occur each year around the world. The infection is often mild or without symptoms, but can sometimes be severe. Approximately one in 20 (5%) infected persons will have severe disease characterized by profuse watery diarrhea, vomiting, and leg cramps. In these people, rapid loss of body fluids leads to dehydration and shock. Without treatment, death can occur within hours.  Swine Flu - a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza viruses that regularly cause outbreaks of influenza in pigs. Influenza viruses that commonly circulate in swine are called “swine influenza viruses” or “swine flu viruses.” Like human influenza viruses, there are different subtypes and strains of swine influenza viruses.

  The evolution of drug resistant strains is a natural phenomenon that occurs when microorganisms 1. replicate themselves incorrectly 2. resistant traits are exchanged between them  resistance to drugs to treat infections caused by other microbes as well, such as parasites (malaria), and viruses (HIV)

 How has technology and industrialization affected the environment?

 Industrialization creates a need for resources, which impacts the environment.  Global Warming video: ATJCugs ATJCugs
