Process

            Each team will consist of a government expert, an economist, a geographer, and a culturalist. After your research is complete, your group will complete:

1.      A chart of the imports and exports for the past ten years

2.      A PowerPoint presentation showing how the government affects the economy and culture

3.      A bar graph of the natural resources

4.      A prediction of future economy growth

5.      A group presentation comparing this country to America

6.      A decision explaining whether to expand into the country using a persuasive argument

Charts and graphs can either be computer generated or student made on poster board. Group presentations and decisions should be in written format using a word processor.

Conclusion

          Businesses around the world must have accurate information to make informed decisions. You have discovered that different types of governments impact the economy of a country. The economy of a country affects the lifestyle of the citizens of that country.

          You must take into account that no country’s economy can exist on it’s own. Trade between countries, interdependence, is a major process in the growth and development of a strong economy.
