1. Why are networks better than hierarchies?
   Network will allow imformation to be procced by other fast instead of everything having to go to the top then back down.  Thsi will allow employees to communicate fast with consumers.
 
2. What is a nation state and how is it being threatened?
   The nation state envolves territorial concept defined by a geographical border. There are more than on threat but the two big forces are the economy force and the demographic force, which will take the economic system and the environmental system outside of the national borders. 

3. How is civil society gaining legitimacy over government agencies? Give an example of a NGO (Non-Government Agency) whose goals and services you think are beneficial to solving a global problem.
    
The UNESCO is one example of a NGO.

4. How can business be a helpful global enforcer?
  I feel that large business can control more and be better enforcer because they can be in more than on country .

5. What can too much economic and social change lead too?
  It can lead to crisis that we wont be able to handle and cause gap in our society.

6. What Global Issue concerns you the most? Why?
 There many issue that concern but the I also think that is problem becasue it is hard to focus on one. The problem is that all them might lead to the worlds end but I'd my concern is mostly on the economy right now because on wrong more can turn the world upside down.

  1. It hard to choose one because they are interrelated! How we chose to regulate the economy will have a huge impact on issues like the environment for example.
