Answer:

The benefits of trade agreements are not felt evenly by all industries in an economy. In fact, even member nations gain varying advantages by entering into trade agreements. However, despite these drawbacks, the United States continues to act on its commitment to free trade. In 2005, the United States signed a fair trade agreement (FTA) with Australia, and in 2012, it signed a trade protection agreement (TPA) with Colombia. Both agreements have been in force for a while. Now the question is, Have these agreements benefited the US economy? Let’s examine the impact of the bilateral agreements with Colombia and Australia on the US economy.

According to the USTR, the International Trade Commission (ITC) predicted that the United States–Colombia TPA would increase national GDP by $2.5 billion (Office of the US Trade Representative). Under the TPA, US exports to Colombia increased from $12.0 billion in 2010 to $18.3 billion in 2013 (US Department of State). The TPA seems to have delivered on its promise, because according to the USTR, US exports to Colombia increased by 30% in 2013 (Office of the US Trade Representative). So financially, Colombia is a lucrative market for the United States. However, the main opposition to the TPA stemmed from concerns about the terrible labor conditions in Colombia and the violent threats to those seeking to improve labor conditions in a country rife with crime. Although violence is a major concern, the FTA will eventually help both nations by bringing about social and labor reforms through economic activity. By helping Colombia become a peaceful country, the United States can pave the way for increased trade with Colombia in the future.

The United States–Australia FTA received considered opposition in both countries. US dairy farmers, ranchers, and small farmers were anxious about job losses resulting from the free entry of Australian products into the US market. However, if we judge by the boost in exports, the FTA has contributed to overall US economic growth. According to the USTR, in the first five years of the FTA, US exports to Australia increased by 33% (Office of the US Trade Representative). The FTA removed all tariffs on American imports into Australia, giving US exporters barrier-free entry into Australian markets.

The export industry plays a key role in driving economic growth and generating jobs in the United States. Colombia and Australia are two large and important markets for US exporters. The United States faces competition from other nations for access to these markets. By signing trade agreements, American goods can compete effectively in these markets. Although the agreements with Colombia and Australia are opposed for valid reasons, the agreements will benefit the US economy over time

How did the jesuits et out to spread the catholic faith

antiseptic1488 [7]

The Jesuit order was founded in 1539 in Rome (Italy) by Ignacio de Loyola, a former nobleman of the Basque noble family of Azpeitia (Guipuzcoa), who found faith after being wounded during a battle in Pamplona in 1521, and approved by the Holy See in 1540, following the bull of Pope Paul III 'Regimini Militants Ecclesiae'.

The Jesuits have an almost military type structure (absolute obedience), a clear mission (to the greater glory of God), a total lack of concern for worldly successes (vain desires).

With the Latin motto 'Ad maiorem Dei gloriam' (To the greater glory of God), the Jesuit order aims to spread the Catholic faith through missions, apostolate, teaching and science.

According to their rules, they work for the evangelization of the world, in defense of the faith and the promotion of justice, in permanent cultural and interreligious dialogue and the engine of the company is to deepen humanistic studies and scientists to deliver them to the schools and colleges that were opening in Europe.

Since its beginning, Jesuits have run the most important centers of higher education in Europe, including the prestigious Roman College, in addition to providing services in countries where the Catholic religion was persecuted or banned.

An important work was the undertaken by the also Basque, San Francisco Javier in his missionary work of conversion in India, Japan and China.

The Jesuits, in addition to the three vows of the religious - poverty, chastity and obedience - profess a fourth, related to the obedience to the Pope, to which they are thus united in a special way.
