8. YOUR RESEARCH

Choose one product which is either a raw material or a manufactured product and research the following aspects of the product:


 * where it is grown and who are the producers of these goods around the world?
 * what countries are producers of this product?
 * what are the problems associated with selling raw materials and manufactured goods made from the original product?
 * what are the problems associated with manufactured goods?


 * THINKING**
 * 1) Should Trade be 'free ' or 'fair'?
 * 2) Are some rules necessary? Labour rules? Environmental rules? What happens to these under 'free trade'?
 * 3) What happens to a countries right to make their own rules?
 * 4) Some countries force rules on other countries that they often do not adhere to themselves- i.e.: through the World Trade Organisation
 * 5) Why do you think this happens? Investigate the way the US trade compared to the beliefs they espouse.
