I have just
taken part in an experiment at school the other day, which was about producing
strategies and trading.
I was a
member of the large group, so I was producing in the development country.
The first
task we had to do was to decide how many products we want to produce in 24
hours. We had to decide to produce either cars or bread, or a mixture of both. The
goal was to own as many breads as cars.
If we
produced bread in our country, the developing country, the production took 4 hours
and the production of cars took 6 hours.
My first
idea was to produce 3 breads and 2 cars, so that I have as many couples of
bread and cars as possible.
The second
task was to deal with people from my own country. So I tried do trade with
them, but we couldn’t, because in our group were a lake of cars and a sure plus
of breads.
So in the
next round I changed my producing strategy. I decided to only produce breads,
because the next task was to get deals with the wealthy country.
As a member
of the development country I tried to get a deal with a member of the wealthy
country.
But also
the second round of trading was difficult, because every member of the wealthy
country produced as many breads as cars. I made a
deal and exchanged 1 car for 3 breads. So I had a couple.
In my
opinion, this experiment has shown us that globalization can be good and bad
for us. For globalization to work and be fair, every country should produce and
sell the product for which the country is most appropriate.
I hope you enjoyed my blog posting and you are going to read my next.
See you
soon,
