1. The United States appears at times to have a totally schizophrenic attitude toward protectionism. The United States was the c

ountry that proposed the establishment of the World Trade Organization as early as the late 1940s, and was also the only industrialized country that refused to ratify this at that time. The United States has consistently argued on the side of multinational free trade in GATT Rounds, and yet maintains many protectionist laws such as those which reserve oil shipments from Alaska to U.S. flag carriers. How can you explain this apparent lack of national consistency on this issue?

This reflects the fact that international trade typically has many winners and relatively fewer, but politically powerful losers. Short of guaranteed (constitutional?) non-conditional compensatory mechanisms, the basic conflict between these two groups will always be there.

Mrrafil [7]
<span>This is a performance goal. These goals are based solely on what the person can do, rather than how they would appear or how they would get along with others. Performance goals are much more black-and-white than any other metric, and are typically easier to make decisions on than any other type of goal metric.</span>

How do the citizens influence a nation?​
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

There are many ways and many levels of how people influence nations.

Use of Social Media is the most common these days. A lot of people do believe everything they are told and see on Social Media. Media and entertainment industry is another powerful tool of influencing societies. A lot of movies and TV series are funded by people who believe a script matches an ideology that could be helpful in influencing the watchers.

Another way to influence which is one of the oldest is through history. History is always written by the powerful. Imagine having a good ruler who lost everything, while defending their people, trying to tell their story and getting people to write it (ofcourse in this case the good ruler was left alive).

Moreover, what you studied at school (or what everyone studied) has a major influence on your brain and the ability to perceive situations. People who have studied text books of a certain curriculum think and behave differently from others who have studied some other curriculum.

Music, especially the lyrics also have a great potential to influence large masses.

Last but not the least and this one affects more than a single nation or a society - the concept of God and Religion. The best tool to influence and mass control people has always been religion.
