Double Entry Journal #11


1. Why are networks better than hierarchies? Information moves faster in networks because in hierarchies it has to move all the way to the top and the networks adapt to change faster.

2. What is a nation state and how is it being threatened? The nation state is a territorial concept defined by a geographical border. What is happening now is the two big forces will yank the economic system and the environmental system increasingly outside national borders.

3. How is civil society gaining legitimacy over government agencies? Give an example of a NGO (Non-Government Agency) whose goals and services you think are beneficial to solving a global problem. It's increasingly deft use of new technologies.

4. How can business be a helpful global enforcer? It's easier for businesses to look ahead and learn of an issue quicker.

5. What can too much economic and social change lead too? It can lead to political backlash, autarchy, and authoritarian forms of control that can destroy liberal values and human freedoms.

6. What Global Issue concerns you the most? Why? The Global Issue that concerns me the most is world hunger because all these countries are in need of food and it is even happening in the United States. All these people have plenty of food but no one can spare a can food item. It is just terrible that no one helps even with all the extra food that they might have. Each person could donate at least one can a month and it would make a huge difference.

  1. Wonderful NGO! I had not heard of it before! The economy and environment have a huge impact on rates of hunger. It thinks it is immoral to have people go hungry in a country that has so much wealth.
