(Definition of Terms)
Direction: Using your own words, provide a brief definition for the following concepts:
1. Global governance - was bound in different types of activities at the international, transactional, and
regional levels, and also global governance pertains to the activities that were conducted by the public and
private sectors that transcend national boundaries. Besides, it is a resolute mandate that was materialized
by an agreement and informal mechanism that balances movements for the common good.
2. Multilateralism - refers to the process of making a connection or relationship with other states which
is increasingly necessary and important in the world of politics and global governance because it boosts
someone's power and influence.
3. International norms - International norms are the outcome or product of foreign policy choice and
behaviour and even after state conceptions of national interests. The international norms are also often
confessed, leading to problems due to norm violations and norm enforcement.
4. Public goods - A public good is often under-provided in a free market because its characteristics of
non-rivalry and non-excludability mean there is an incentive not to pay. In a free market, firms may not
provide the goods as they have difficulty charging people for their use. However, they also face the
problem with public goods which is the freeride problem. This means that it is not possible to prevent
anyone from enjoying a good, once it has been provided. Therefore, there is no incentive for people to
pay for the good because they can consume it without paying for it.
5. International organizations - International organizations are responsible for the maintenance of
international peace and stability, be this economic, social or political, and that they act in the interest of
the international community. According to critics of these institutions, there are greater transparency,
regulation, and control within these organizations so that they reflect more than just the interest of the
powerful States.

The international trade relations between developed and developing countries, complex problems
often arise out of trade between global north countries and global south countries. Most of the utmost
less-developed countries have agriculture-based economies, several are tropical, letting them rely
massively upon the proceeds from the export of one or two crops, such as coffee, cacao, or sugar. Sales
for such goods are highly competitive that is, costs are extremely receptive to every change in demand or
supply, conversely, the prices of produced goods, the average exports of developed countries, are
generally much more stable. Hence, as the cost of its export products fluctuates, the tropical country
endures large changes in its terms of trade, the ratio of export prices to import prices, frequently with
severe effects on the domestic economy. Concerning all-important primary commodities, efforts have
been made at cost stabilization and output control, these efforts have met with varied success.

Essay Question: Limit your answer to a maximum of five (5) sentences only.
In what ways do global media serve as guardians of free speech, democracy, and justice?
Media plays a significant purpose in forming a healthy democracy. It is the backbone of a
democracy. Media makes us aware of various social, political, and industrial activities happening around
the world. It is like a mirror, which shows us or strives to reveal to us the uncovered truth and rigid
realities of life. Media reveals loopholes in the democratic system, which eventually helps the
government in filling the voids of loopholes and making a system more accountable, responsive, and
citizen-friendly.

1. Make a reaction paper on the issue of same sex marriage. Your paper must be based on the views
and arguments of the different religions. In the end, make a conclusion on whether or not same sex
marriage should be recognized in this globalized environment. Limit your answer to 10 sentences
only.
- In specific countries, by far most of Christian gatherings have become candid and freely occupied with
their resistance to same-sex marriage arrangements. Protectors of same-sex marriage contend that giving
same-sex couples marriage freedoms will debilitate the marriage's conventional aim. As indicated by
Roman Catholic allies of monogamous conjugal couples, same-sex associations can't be called
relationships since marriage, by regulation, requires the association of two individuals from the same sex.
Christian issue with same-sex marriage gets from the conviction that same-sex marriage standardizes and
advances gay movement, rather than elevating protection from same-sex want. Other strict contentions for
an opposite sex meaning of marriage hold that equivalent sex connections ought not be perceived as
relationships since same-orientation sexual movement is without wanting to, is dishonest, what's more,
undermines God's innovative reason for human sexuality. Many backers of same sex relationships
contend that by laying out marriage as between one man and one lady, the state consequently abuses the
essential right to strict opportunity. They fight that simply because most of strict gatherings concur that
gay marriage ought not be permitted by the state doesn't commit the state to regard their perspectives on
the issue.

2. Watch the link given below and make a synthesis on the war against terrorism. Is the war against
the ISIS a religious persecution?
- Demonstrations of war or illegal intimidation put the common freedoms framework under tension,
nearly to the weak spot. Whenever human existence is deliberately focused on or is viewed as "collateral
damage" amidst mass besieging efforts that straightforwardly or in a roundabout way bring about disease,
injury, wretchedness, home misfortune, and passing, it is challenging to track down a spot for basic
freedoms. Each common liberty gives off an impression of being hurt during seasons of war, especially
wars that keep going for quite a long time a long time. Wellbeing frameworks come up short, training
endures, and home, work, food and water supplies, the general set of laws, opportunity of the press and
free discourse, and responsibility for maltreatments by the state or by the "adversary" express all face
limitations, in the event that not complete vanishing. Notwithstanding how terrible the privileges of
youngsters, ladies, ethnic networks, and evacuees were in peacetime, they would be most awful in the
midst of contention. Fight and fanaticism are activities that will generally compromise and sideline the
standards at the center of basic liberties and the equity structure that safeguards them. Indeed, even amidst
such a breakdown, be that as it may, basic liberties keep on working, but in a debilitated state, and
keeping in mind that they can't fix everything ills, they can give a few insignificant insurance and some
expect equity. Truth be told, Christians in Iraq and Syria have been mistreated for their religion during the
last ten years and a half, however they and their neighbors have likewise endured because of the area's
partisan conflict, common conflict, and unsteadiness. Christians were continually threatened with chapel
bombings, designated illegal conflagration of Christian organizations, bomb and mortar attacks on
Christian homes, and kidnapping and assault. Christians were killed in their lofts, on their way to school,
and keeping in mind that utilized in their organizations.
