Document Summary

Yeonmi park"s in order to live tells the compelling story of a young girl who faced hardships far more challenging than she should have. Park"s story was one of constant struggle and eventual success. This is what i hope i will be able to draw from the following few years at florida international university. Similarly to park, i"ll have to rely on perseverance, the ability to adapt to change, and self-education to adjust to college life. I can personally identify with the theme of perseverance in regards to the concept of the desert. In the book, once yeonmi has finally found her way to freedom in south korea, she mentions that everyone has their desert. As a clear metaphor to a prolonged hardship before a great success, it turns out that park"s desert was the literal gobi desert (park, page 262).

He claims that most low-income developing countries are stuck in a cycle of poverty and so cannot catch up with developed countries. With increased globalization, Emma feels that the developing countries are growing and will converge with higher-income countries eventually.

How do international trade policies impact your life? Consider the following examples:

Â· What consumer benefits do you experience as a result of international trade policies? (For example, consider the availability of a wide range of low-cost, high-quality goods and services which are produced in other countries, such as cell phones and flat-screen televisions)

Â· As a voter, describe your concerns regarding international trade, such as the politics of free trade versus protection. Do you think tariffs or quotas should be imposed on imported goods to provide U.S. producers an even playing field?

Â· Finally, as an employee, describe your concerns regarding the loss of U.S. jobs, since international trade spurs job offshoring, and it also provides freer access to U.S. markets by foreign producers.
