Economics - February 2007

A 2005 United Nations report called for a doubling of foreign aid to poor countries as the means to reduce poverty. Yet the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to a for-profit microloan bank and its founder, an apparent vindication of the ideas of Peter T. Bauer, Henry Hazlitt, Deepak Lal, and others. As Bauer wrote, “Development aid, far from being necessary to rescue poor societies from a vicious circle of poverty, is far more likely to keep them in that state.…Emergence from poverty requires effort, firmly established property rights, and productive investment.

I did reshearch the pros and the cons but i need help with the rest..
1. Research the pros and cons of globalization.
2.Select an issue about how globalization affects people and places.
3.Develop a hypothesis regarding globalization. A hypothesis is a statement of the expected relationship between or among the things being studied and is often written as an "if-then" statement. (If we do such-and-such, then such-and-such will happen.)
4.Provide at least two facts from your research that support your hypothesis. Properly cite the source of this information.
5.Develop possible arguments against your hypothesis based on your research.
6.Provide at least two reasons why your hypothesis would be rejected or proved wrong. Properly cite the source of this information.
7.Summarize why you think your hypothesis should be supported by someone else.
Could someone help please..

India isa vast country with rich heritage and culture. It still learns from other countries instead of being a key player. We are depending on other countries for every purpose right from food requirements to defence.

We have huge land under cultivation but we are unable to generate sufficient food supply.

We have a huge number of engineers, doctors, scientists but still we are unable to create world class architectural works. All the weapons playing key role in our countries defence are bought from other countries none are made in india. There is nothing like stealth in the defence weapons. How can we survive if there is an attack from the very countries which supplied us the weapons.

Why do countries around the world buy US Treasury bonds and store their money there?
Dont they have better things to do with their money like invest in their own economies?
Is the US Stock Exchange and the US Treasury kind of like the World's investment bank?

p.s. Why would China want to store so much money in US treasuries as well? I mean why not invest it in their glamorous economy?
Why would they want to store all their cash in US treasury if the US economy was ready to crumble ( like so many are speculating to happen?)
