=520  ##$$a This book will consider the reciprocal effects of the United States and the rest of the world. Beyond that, the selection will examine how the world is ever more interconnected, thereby affecting people everywhere around the globe, not just the United States. Some examples: (1) Global warming brings climate change, extreme weather conditions world-wide, the migration of people, animals, and diseases as tropical forests are downsized in developing nations combined with excessive carbon use in the developed nations. (2) Outbreaks of new diseases and drugs-resistant diseases threaten everyone. (3) Low-wage economies attract capital,moving jobs from place to place in a ?race to the bottom,? leaving disarray and unemployment where the jobs are taken from and dislocations and worker exploitation where the jobs are relocated. (4) Global market forces are shaping stratification and inequality within societies. (5) The ever-larger ine quality gap between societies and within them increases the likelihood od social unrest, parochialism, and terrorism worldwide. (6) Extreme poverty affects immigration patterns (legal and illegal). (7) Transnational criminal networks traffic drugs, sex workers, child labor, and the dumping of hazardous wastes.
