Zeal is behaviour to protect y hellenistic philosophy: cynics: basically wandering philosophers- wanted to live simply and challenge the authorities and stuff. Stoicism: were largely romans in the 1st century- logos was at the center of everything- related to logic and it was a divine power that was related to everything, it kept everything going in the world. A natural law: logo has the ability to reason itself. You go into the temple and there would be drumming dancing sacrifice and very intense scenes and that is how initiation worked. You wouldn t have to pay for your initiation but every ritual would need an animal to be sacrificed. y.

In this module, we have learned that the trade balance, interest rates, and exchange rates are all related in an economic and fiscal policy. For decades, the United States and China have traded products through imports and exports, and for the most part, China is able to produce items at a lesser cost than the United States. Americans love a good value, but they also want quality. China, on the other hand, has grown dramatically and continued with âindustrializingâ the country, which has cost the government billions of dollars. Throughout this course, we will investigate the ongoing trade between these two countries, the costs of multinational companies that expand or complete business through the import and export exchange, and how the ongoing practice may create economic changes and instability for the individual organization.

Research the balance of trade in the United States and China and relate how historical changes in exchange and interest rates have affected imports and exports between the two countries.

Specifically address the following:

Explain how trade balance, interest rates, and exchange rates are related, and cite an example of how a rise or fall in one changes the others.

Does a deficit in China or the United States change the overall advantage or disadvantage of trade? Why?

Explore how the cost and quantity of imports and exports, such as electronic equipment, may be challenged by the rise and fall of these rates.

Incorporate the fluctuations of supply and demand into the costs incurred and decide ways management calculates estimations for further product needs.

Explain the philosophy of âinternational crowding out,â citing an example of how this may occur, and describe how excessive borrowing in one country has affected interest rates in the United States.

As an example, China and the United States âborrowâ from each other to finance needs by purchasing government-backed securities from the other country. This practice provides one country with additional funds and also gives the purchasing country more control over interest rates or âborrowing costsâ in the future. How does this influence interest rates in the domestic country and foreign country? Can one country gain control over another financially by continually financing another countryâs debt?

Celestila Moonn, an UMB Global Affairs major student registered for the online Global Financial Markets course. After completing the reading of âAn overview of the Global Financial Marketsâ Moonn stated the following regarding the trends in the growth of global financial markets since the 1990s. The significant growth in foreign financial markets is the result of several factors. First is the increase in the pool of savings in foreign countries (e.g., the European Union). Second, international investors have turned to U.S. and other markets to expand their investment opportunities and improve their investment portfolio risk and return characteristics. This is especially so as the value of public pension plans has declined in many European countries and investors have turned to private pension plans instead. Third, information on foreign investments and markets is now more accessible and thoroughâfor example, via the Internet. Fourth, some U.S. FIsâsuch as specialized mutual fundsâoffer their customers opportunities to invest in foreign securities and emerging markets at relatively low transaction costs. Fifth, while the euro has had a significant effect throughout Europe, it is also having a notable impact on the global financial system. Despite challenges resulting from the Greek (and to some extent the European) debt crisis of the 2010s, the euro is still one of the worldâs most important currencies for international transactions. Finally, deregulation in many foreign countries has allowed international investors greater access and allowed the deregulating countries to expand their investor bases (e.g., until 2012, individual foreign investors faced severe restrictions on their ability to buy Indian stocks). As a result of these factors, the overall volume of investment and trading activity in foreign securities is increasing, as is the integration of U.S. and foreign financial markets. Do you agree or disagree with Moonn? Briefly discuss.
