80/20 Interdependence The average North American consumes 30 times what someone in India consumes each year. The question posed at the end of part one was why people in more developed nations should be concerned about conditions in developing nations. This program begins by examining trading relationships which appear to benefit residents of the world's richer nations more than they benefit residents of poorer nations. The program examines other patterns of interdependence among nations, the ways in which these nations are linked by health issues, environmental issues, economics, and global security. It ends with an examination of the way in which enculturated points if view affect our understanding of other nations and cultures. A Study Guide is available on-line.

80/20 Legacy of Colonialism Histories of the era have suggested that the profits for these "sugar islands" financed the British Industrial Revolution Part three of the program begins an analysis of the historical structures which have contributed to the current status of many of the world's nations. One characteristic that most developing nations have in common is that they were at one time or another colonies or occupied territories, and, as such, their resources were not developed for the benefit of their residents but for the benefit of the occupying power. We look at the difficulties former colonies faced after achieving independence and their susceptibilty to local autocrats. We end the program looking at the signs of improvement and hope which occurred in the late 1960s and 70s. A Study Guide is available on-line.
