Answer:

The North American Free Trade Agreement created the world's largest free trade area, covering the United States, Canada, and Mexico. In 2017, its member economies generated approximately $22.2 trillion in gross domestic product. NAFTA is also controversial. Politicians don't agree on whether the free trade agreement's advantages outweigh its disadvantages. Here they are so you can decide for yourself.

Pros

NAFTA has six main advantages. According to a Congressional Research Service report prepared in 2017, the act has more than tripled trade between Canada, Mexico, and the United States since it was enacted.1  The agreement reduced and eliminated tariffs. Second, greater trade increased economic output. While it is challenging to weigh the impact of NAFTA given the variety of factors involved, experts estimated that full NAFTA implementation would U.S. growth by as much as 0.5% a year.2  Third, while there are varying estimates, stronger growth created jobs. According to a 2010 report, U.S. free trade agreements – the lion's share of which stemmed from the NAFTA agreement – directly supported 5.4 million jobs, while trade with these countries supported 17.7 million.3   Fourth, foreign direct investment (FDI) more than tripled. The United States increased FDI in Mexico from $15.2 billion in 1993 to $104.4 billion in 2012, and from $69.9 billion in Canada in 1993 to $352.9 billion in 2015. Mexico ramped up investment in the United States by 1283% over the same time period, while Canada's FDI increased by 911%. Fifth, NAFTA lowered prices. U.S. oil imports from Mexico cost less because NAFTA got rid of tariffs. That reduces America's reliance on oil from the Middle East. Low-cost oil reduces gas prices, which reduces transportation cost. Food prices are lower in turn. 4  Sixth, the agreement helped with government spending. Each nation's government contracts became available to suppliers in all three member countries. That increased competition and lowered costs.

Cons

NAFTA has six main disadvantages. First, certain estimates indicate that it led to job losses. A 2011 report from the Economic Policy Institute estimated a loss of 682,900 jobs.5  Other estimates estimate a loss of 500,000-750,000 U.S. jobs. Most were in the manufacturing industries in California, New York, Michigan, and Texas. Though the estimated job gains exceed those lost, certain industries were particularly impacted, including manufacturing, automotive, textile, computer, and electrical appliance industries. Second, job migration suppressed wages. Companies threatened to move to Mexico to keep workers from joining unions.6  Without the unions, workers could not bargain for better wages. This strategy was so successful that it became standard operating procedure. Between 1993 and 1995, half of all companies used it. By 1999, that rate had grown to 65%. Third, NAFTA put Mexican farmers out of business. It allowed U.S. government-subsidized farm products into Mexico. Local farmers could not compete with the subsidized prices. As a result, 1.3 million farmers were put out of business, according to the Economic Policy Institute.7  It forced unemployed farmers to cross the border illegally to find work. In 1995, there were 2.9 million Mexicans living in the United States illegally. It increased to 4.5 million in 2000, probably due to NAFTA.8  The recession drove that figure to 6.9 million in 2007. In 2014, it fell to 5.8 million, roughly double where it was before NAFTA. Fourth, unemployed Mexican farmers went to work in substandard conditions in the maquiladora program. Maquiladora is where United States-owned companies employ Mexican workers near the border. They cheaply assemble products for export back into the United States. Employment in maquiladoras rose 120,000 in 1980 to 1.2 million in 2006.9   Fifth, U.S. companies degraded the Mexican environment to keep costs low. Agribusiness in Mexico used more fertilizers and other chemicals, resulting in increased pollution.10  Rural farmers were forced into marginal land to stay in business, resulting in increased deforestation rates.11  That deforestation contributes to global warming. Sixth, NAFTA allowed Mexican trucks access into the United States. Mexican trucks are not held to the same safety standards as American trucks. Congress never allowed this provision to go into effect.

USMCA

Despite these advantages, the United States, Mexico, and Canada renegotiated NAFTA on September 30, 2018. The new deal is called the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. It must be ratified by each country's legislature. Trump has called for Congress to ratify it within six months.14  If not ratified, it the U.S. will revert to pre-NAFTA trade conditions. If ratified, it will go into effect in 2020. The Trump administration renegotiated with the aim of lowering the trade deficit between the United States and Mexico.15  The new deal changes NAFTA in six major areas.16

Jaden’s age is 1/8 of his mother’s age. His mother will be 40 years old in 8 years. In how many years will Jaden’s age be 3/7 of
Thepotemich [5.8K]

His mother will be 40 in 8 years. So, she is 32 now.

1/8 of his mother's age is 4, so, currently Jaden is 4 years old.

The difference are 28 years.

If he is currently 4 in 17 years he will be 21 years old and his mother will be 49,

21 is 3/7 of 49.

Therefore, the correct answer is, in 17 years.

HELP!!!! <br> i need all the answers for this!
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

7) During 1750-1900, people from around the world challenged established government structures, and this led to a great deal of political, economic, and social change. For many of the following Revolutions, Enlightenment ideas directly influenced their advent.

8) Japan- By the early 1900's, Japan had become one of the Great Powers and won a war against the Russian as well as the Chinese, and ultimately were able to take control of Taiwan, Korea and Manchuria.

9) Portugal was never very big. Spain's decline began in the 17th century, mainly caused by them losing a struggle with France under Louis XIV. Both were weakened by sticking to a very narrow version of Roman Catholicism, and not valuing education.

10) Settler colonial states include Canada, the United States, Australia, and South Africa, and settler colonial theory has been important to understanding conflicts in places like Israel, Kenya, and Argentina, and in tracing the colonial legacies of empires that engaged in the widespread foundation of settlement colonies.

11) The Cape Colony was the only settler colony of the early modern period in which the settlers not only permanently remained in the minority, but they even became increasingly outnumbered with the expansion of the colony. Europeans were only able to settle in the malaria-free uplands of southern and eastern Africa.

What do the expectations for Marie Martin (after she became a widow) and for the girls who attended school tell us about the rol
guapka [62]

Answer:

She wanted to give an educational opportunity to Quebec girls, indigenous and settler daughters by opening various schools and convents dedicated exclusively to the education of girls.

Explanation:

Marie Guyart was born into a family of bakers with deep Christian roots. At the age of 17 she married Claude Martin, a silk worker, with whom she had a son of the same name whom she would later profess in the Benedictines. She was a widow when she was very young but did not decide to remarry. She felt the call to religious vocation and tried to enter the Carmelites or the Feuillants, but it was not until 1631 that she was accepted in the monastery of the Ursulines of Tours, of the congregation of Bordeaux. There it took the name of Marie de l'Incarnation.

In this monastery he had contact with Jesuit missionaries assigned to Canada. He opened the first Ursuline monastery in Canada, in Quebec, for the care of a school for indigenous girls. Before the Ursulines there were only schools for boys in New France. The Ursulines established convents and schools for girls taught reading, writing, arithmetic and homemaking. It was expected that graduates would become nuns or wives or mothers.
