READ AND ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION:

At the beginning of the twenty first century, the economic crisis spread almost all over the world. In March 2075, the world oil resources were over and people changed gasoline cars to electric means of transportation. They were cheaper but much slower. Trucks could not move faster than fifty kilometers per hour which made the process of logistics last about twice longer than usual.

WHAT HAPPENED WITH ELECTRIC MEANS OF TRANSPORT IN 2075?

• They were more expensive & faster

• They were cheaper but more slower.

• They were cheaper and way faster.

Multiple Choice

In June 2076, the United Nations called the World Energy Summit. In the opening, the delegate of the host country said: “The world is facing a serious problem today, a problem which requires us to be united more than ever… We face a crucial dilemma: we either give more political power to the United Nations, or we establish a new global government".

WHAT'S THE DILEMMA WE ARE SEEING HERE?

• We either give more political power to the UN, or we establish a new global Government.

• We either give more power to the nations or we destroy the UN.

• We either give more power to the UN, or we call for a new constitution.

A few days later, the Canadian delegate spoke. “The region of the Middle East is no longer the energetic center of the world.” She added: “Which energy is more pure than solar energy? The huge desert of Sahara, which has been a “large wasteland” till now, can become an important economic region and a global government could control this area.”

WHAT'S THE CANADIAN IDEA FOR THE DESERT OF SAHARA?

Multiple Choice

“I suggest”, she continued,” that this global government should have neither more than one thousand nor less than five hundred members; maybe one hundred per each continent. That would make six hundred members. It’s a pretty big number, but they will rule the whole world.” The motion was significantly supported by many countries.

What's her suggestion?

• Make up an Assembly.

• Run a Company.

• Make up a Global Government.

Open Ended

At this time, a political market began. Brazil asked for extra places in the government, as owner of the Amazon rainforest, the lungs of the world. England and France also claimed for extra power but they were weak countries in the second half of the twentieth century. Russia was another political player in problems. Only two third of the citizens of Russia were Russians, and ethnic minorities and others were the rest of the society. So, it got few less places in the global government than the other empires did. Thus, after about a year of negotiations, a new global government was established.
