CHAPTER 16

1. New York was the country’s leading state in nearly all population, cultural, and economic
indexes
 Land

Many people associate New York State with New York City, the state has a diverse range
of geographic and climatic conditions. During at least part of the last Ice Age, glaciers
covered most of New York, with the exceptions of southern Long Island, Staten Island, and
the far southwestern corner of the state.
 Climate

The early Dutch settlers discovered that the climate in New York fell far short of their
expectations. Because Manhattan is Mediterranean in latitude, its snowy, freezing winter
weather perplexed these early settlers. If Manhattan was uncomfortably cold and wet in the
winter, the rest of the state had to have been even worse.
 Cultural activities
Institutions of culture
There are over 1,300 museums and art galleries in the state, as well as over 200 theaters and
dozens of performing arts centers. Much of the tone and style of life in the United States is
set in New York City, which remains the country's artistic and cultural capital. The garment
district is the center of the fashion industry. Many television programs originate in New York
City, where several broadcast and cable networks have their headquarters, and many motion
pictures are filmed on its streets.

 Population
The current metro area population of New York City in 2022 is 18,867,000, a 0.23% increase
from 2021. The metro area population of New York City in 2021 was 18,823,000, a 0.1%
increase from 2020. The metro area population of New York City in 2020 was 18,804,000, a
0.01% decline from 2019.
 2. Because it has powerful organizations that are linked to the rest of the world, and many
major corporations and multinational corporations have their headquarters in this city.
3. Multinational corporations sell technology to less developed countries on highly
imperfect international markets, both for production and consumption. Buyers must be
concerned with both appropriateness and price. Despite some evidence to the contrary,
multinational corporations may be increasingly willing to sell more labor-intensive
technologies and essential-intensive products.
4. The city's rich talent pool, international connections, and cultural attractions, combined
with a meteoric increase in direct foreign investment in New York City, have allowed the
city's financial institutions, law firms, architects, fashion designers, and other sectors to
thrive in the global market.

ACTIVITY 17

1. Globalization has an immediate impact on demographic processes. Rapid urbanization will

pose challenges to sustainable development. These include population movements within and
across borders, health and fertility outcomes, and changes in age structure.
2.
2.1. Megatrends
- These megatrends have far-reaching consequences. They have an impact on economic
development, employment, income distribution, poverty, and social safety nets. They also
have an impact on efforts to provide universal access to health care, education, housing,
sanitation, water, food, and energy. To address individual needs more sustainably,
policymakers must first understand how many people live on the planet, where they live,
how old they are, and how many people will follow them.
2.2. A varied landscape
- General population trends obscure significant differences between countries. On one
side are the world's least developed countries, where fertility rates remain high. While
demographics vary greatly across countries, overall trends have global implications for
sustainable development. The global climate will change regardless of where greenhouse
gases are emitted. Efforts to meet the needs and desires of a growing global population will
have consequences for all countries, as will failure to do so.
ACTIVITY 18

Global demographic trends, changing climate, public security, economic competitiveness, and
unsustainable use of Earth's resources are straining societies' ability to adapt. Governments are
under tremendous pressure to mitigate these escalating risks to their citizens' food security, water
availability, and health. Those in higher positions are unconcerned about what others are doing;
they are unconcerned about others simply because they are already in that position. Because they
control people, it has a greater impact on their movement.
ACTIVITY 19

CATEGORY COUNTRY CHARACTERISTIC THAT MAKES IT

1ST/2ND/3RD WORLD COUNTRY

 prosperity, democracy, and stability—both

FIRST WORLD United State political and economic.
 refer to the Soviet Union and countries of the
SECOND WORLD Thailand communist bloc.
 It has subsequently been revised to refer to
nations that fall between first and third world
countries in terms of their development status
and economic indicators.
 Most people believe that problems such as
THIRD WORLD Philippines corruption, unemployment, crime, and
poverty are preventing this country from
becoming a developed country.

ACTIVITY 20
1. OFWs are the country's modern-day heroes. Their work in other countries has
significantly reduced poverty and played an important role in transforming our once-
struggling financial system into the thriving one it is today. Because the money they send
to OFW families to buy mostly goods and services goes directly to businesses, it leads to
an increase in income in related sectors of the economy (the multiplier effect).
2. Migrants continue to be vulnerable to exploitation and abuse, such as contract violations,
sexual harassment, violence, and discrimination. Migrants eventually cause social,
economic, and political problems in the countries where they arrive. Domestic workers
and other low-skilled workers are frequently exploited and abused because they work in
an unregulated environment. Migration must be viewed through a gender lens, with
attention paid to the unique vulnerabilities of men and women.

VENN DIAGRAM

SUSTAINABILITY
 reliable enough to sustain both man-made and natural challenges and recover from them
if necessary
 Sustainability leads to stability
 the ability to sustain something.

STABILITY
 the state of being stable or in balance, and thus resistant to change
 Stability by itself may not always lead to sustainability.
 The state of quality of being stable, having firmness in position and being continueance
without change.

SIMILARITY
- Sustainability is stability over the passage of time
ACTIVITY 23

 Local Purchases

Farmers' markets, fairs, and the local section of your grocery store are excellent places to find
inexpensive, tasty, and fresh food. Because long transportation costs are avoided, locally grown or
produced food is frequently less expensive.

 The most expensive items are frequently displayed at eye level in stores. Look down to find less
expensive items. Generic label items are frequently nearly identical to name-brand items. They
are frequently produced in the same factory, so there is no need to pay for packaging. Also, look
for a cheaper generic alternative to your brand-name food.

 Encourage Businesses to Reduce Food Waste

Many restaurants and grocery stores are making strides toward sustainability. Learn
which organizations in your area are working to reduce food waste. Inquire with businesses
about whether they donate excess food to feed the hungry or compost their kitchen scraps.

 Correct Food Storage

Improper storage results in massive food waste.

 Discover How to Preserve

 While you may believe that fermenting and pickling are new fads, these food
preservation techniques have been used for thousands of years.

 Keep Leftovers

Leftovers aren't just for special occasions. Although many people save leftovers from
large meals, they are frequently forgotten in the fridge and discarded when they go bad. Storing
leftovers in a clear glass container rather than an opaque container helps ensure that the food is
not forgotten.

 Restore price stability and fairness to farmers and consumers by reestablishing floor prices and
publicly owned national grain reserves. Establish living wages for farm workers, processing
workers, and supermarket employees.
 Encourage a return to small-scale farming. Family farms are more productive per acre than
large-scale industrial farms. They also use less oil. Because farmers account for 75% of the
world's poor, this will also help to alleviate poverty.
ACTIVITY 24

1. someone who sees themselves as part of an emerging sustainable global community and whose
actions support that community's values and practices as more and more aspects of their lives
become globalized, many people today identify as global citizens.
2. assist citizens in overcoming these issues, establishing rapport with one another, preserving
peace and stability, and achieving justice and equality among people of different cultures,
including respecting others, following rules and laws, and leading by example. No matter where
they live on the planet, global citizens feel obligated to assist when the rights of others are
violated.
3. Individuals gain a better understanding of the challenges that different parts of the world face as
a result of international experiences. As a result, young people may be encouraged to think
more deeply about the impact of their decisions and activities on other parts of the world.
Individuals seeking to broaden their horizons through global citizenship can get involved in a
variety of projects at the local, national, and global levels. Their experiences can better equip
them to challenge social injustice and ignorance, as well as to understand the ethics and
consequences of their decisions on the world in which we live. Immersion in various
communities on a global scale can help you develop a plethora of essential skills. These abilities
are not only
4. Yes, because I value human rights as well as diversity of culture. I consider myself a global citizen
rather than a citizen of a single country. and desire equality for all, as well as make conscious
choices and decisions that are fair.
