Dear year 12 International Studies class members,
This blog is a forum for you to post your questions and responses to International Studies revision questions. I will check the blog regularly and respond to your questions. Feel free to respond to the questions of other class mates as well.
I will also post links to relevant and useful web sites and news articles over the next couple of months and I will post focus questions on a regular basis.
Our first focus question: Which area of the course do you need to revise?
Ms Chomiak.
OMG i can finally post a comment!!
ReplyDeleteHI MISS!! the articles are very helpful!
ReplyDeleteHi Miss,
ReplyDeleteim doing the globalisation extended response question: evaluate the extent to which globalisation can be a positive influence on states.
my contention is: whilst globalisation has facilitated states in meeting their citizens needs it has come at the expense of their sovereignty.
p1: drives economic development, thus improving the social welfare and standard of living for the people
p2: would it be wrong to say that technologies promote the democratic process, eg. Libya? im confused because it doesn't help the government but it does help the people?
do you have any other suggestion for this paragraph?
p3:discuss compromising sovereignty
Technologies do help the role of the state, as it allows people to voice opinions and promotes democratic processes (one could argue that this does help the state as the state involves the people as well as the government). Wikileaks would also fit well there.
