WEDNESDAY: Economic Warfare

2/11/2015

Today, we learned more about human rights, children's rights, and the 3 goals of the United Nations. The 3 goals revolve around promoting peace, improving our understanding of different cultures and the sharing of resources. This gave rise to a discussion on why wars are started and we started talking about how wars often get started when countries have cultural disputes and disputes over scarce resources. We discussed what is happening in the Ukraine and Russia's involvement. This also got us started on a lively discussion on economic warfare that we will continue tomorrow! I was so impressed with the amazing questions you all had in class today! Keep up the good work!

1.) MATH 6: Pre-assessment test tomorrow
MATH 7: Worksheet 5.1 Area of a parallelogram

2.) POST A RESPONSE:

Today, we discussed the 3 goals of the United Nations and this lead to a discussion on the situation in the Ukraine and Russia's involvement.

When I hear the word econemy, I mostly think about a countries resources, power, wealth, etc. To me econemy means a countrie's resources and wealth, as well as power. When I say "wealth" and "power" I mean how big the country is. How stable the country is. How capable the country is! Because wealth is econemy when you hear "Oh the dollar is dropping down" that is econemy of the goverments wealth. (If that makes sence).

Econimic warfare means to me like warfare over a countries reasources, wealth, and power. To support my idea I will give you an example with Russia and Ukrain. So you have Ukrain on one side and Russia on the other, and Russia wants more land (which is power), and resources. So Russia takes many resources... which give them more wealth by selling it and the more wealth equals more power and so on. But there consumers are the other countries and the other countries are lowering the prices of oil and gas so Russia can have such a big impact. So the outcome of "economic warfare" is the country can get better in some ways (not always good) and the countries can get worst in other ways. Economic warfare can be really risky.

Please give feedback!!!

@ Azbo - I'm really happy to see you using the criteria we generated in class as to what a response looks like when it meets or exceeds expectations and what a response looks like when it does not meet expectations.

Suggestions:
Spelling - Ukraine

Questions:
What do you think happens when the world drops the price that Russia can sell oil/gas for? How do you think this will affect Russia?

To me economic means the economy which is the exchange rate and prices of trading stuff.
To me economic warfare means the same thing but the prices of stuff go down and people or countries are in a rut.

I think that the word economic means something to do with the environment or ecosystem because eco is economic and you can guess where i'm going with this. It sounds like it could be related to economic.

Now I think what does economic Warfare mean? Well from what I just told you guys I think it might be a war over oil spills in environments or ecosystems. Fighting over borders and stuff like that. Arguing about expanding country borders and then that leads to warfare. Economic Warfare to be exact! :)

I think that Economic Warfare means rates of prices competing against each other for the best price.

The word economic means a country's resources,wealth and Etc.
When I mean Resources I mean how big a country is like Hawaii has less resources than Russia because it has more land to get the resources.

Economic warfare means instead of using military weapons the use price drops for them to lose money from the government.

Economy is the country's money and value
Economic warfare is one country decreasing the others economy

Billy Bob

2/11/2015 10:43:04 am

Revised:

I believe an economy is the amount of money a country has, the amount of recourses they have, and finnaly how much the country's money is worth compared to others.

I believe economic warfare is when one country decreases the others economy through trade, lack of trade and other means to make the target country less able to fund their own warfare this is used to make countries at war less able to continue like in Ukraine, or it can be used right before war in order to give the country using economic warfare an advantage with more money therefore better supplies

What does economy mean to me? Well, whenever I hear "economy", I think of a country dealing with other countries' resources, money, different types of material for work and home use, fossil fuels...........ect. Why? Firstly, I remember our class taking about on how Russia's oil price is lowering. But, how is it lowering ? For me, I think the price is lowering from a different country because I know that "economy", deals with different countries' materials, resources, money, fossil fuels......ect. Above all, that what "economy", means to me

What does the term, "economy warfare" mean to me? Well, once again it deals with a country and other countries on getting most of the materials, resources gone, and lowering the price for oil/ gas. Basically, a country is in power that can control a differrent country by making that country cheap. If you don't get what I'm saying, I'm basically saying if a country or even countries are dealing with wars, a different country will do something that can lead them to no money to buy all of the materials they need. For example, if the countries' oil/ gas price suddenly dropped from $100 a barrel to a $50 barrel, that means that country will lose tons of money. That what "economic warfare", means to me.

I think economy means the monetary situation of the city you live in like example: we have a wealthy economy. It could also mean countries resources, power wealth, oil and gas. For the economy the gas price could possibly go down because if the price of oil is not that expensive. WTI Crude Oil costs exactly $48.84 and the other type of oil, Brent Crude Oil costs $54.66.

Economic warfare means:

A sort of aggressive use of economic means, or to achieve national objectives. Also another thing i think it means is warfare over countries for land, resources and wealth among other countries.
Russia is being attacked not with guns but most of the countries are against Russia and if Russia keeps going the way there are going with oil and gas Russia will eventually not have any money.

The enconomy means the financial stability of an place and how much money gets put into the public system.

Economic warfare is when one side does something to destroy the others economy.

The word economy to me means the wealth of a country. And by wealth I mean the money, oil, gas, and the value of money the country is worth. I think that economic warfare is a threat to a countries economy.

(EDITED/REVISED)
The word economy to me means the wealth of a country, and by wealth I mean the money, oil, gas, and the value of money the country is worth. I think that economic warfare is a threat used to weaken a countries economy. For example, today in class we talked about how Russia's oil and gas prices have gone down a lot. That is economic warfare because now since gas and oil prices have gone down Russia won't make enough money to supply their troups, (who are attacking Ukraine), with supplies. In other words economic warfare is when one country's economy gets weaker due to a threat put on by different countries.

Economy means how much oil gas and money the country owns.

Economic warfare is when all of their oil gas and money is getting lost.

What Is Economic Warfare?
Economic warfare is an intense way to use economy instead of war with weapons. For example, some countries will lower the price of resources like gas and oil so the other country will lose tons of money so they will finally have to give in so their country can still be ran properly.

Economy to me means the wealth of a country. For example, How much how much oil and gas the country owns. This can decide whether the country is rich or poor. Economic warefare, on the other hand is when a country is losing their wealth. For example, When Russia sent their troops down to Ukraine gas and oil prices went down so they don't have money to support their troops. So its when other countries threat other countries.

I think economy means how much the world gets. gas, oil, money, and resources.

Economic warfare is when oil, money, and resources get less and other countries trying to destroy another.

The word economy means if one country has a resource and another country has a different resource then when one of the countries want the other countries resource so they sell some of there resources and buy the other resources. For example I have a huge field of apple trees and another person has a huge field of orange trees and I want some of the other persons oranges, so I sell a bunch of my apples to people who want them, and with that money I buy the oranges. So I just keep selling apples and buying different things, from people selling things, so they can buy things that they want and I can buy things that I want.

The term economic warfare means when somebody wants more money so they start buying things from everybody cheaper which makes the people he bought stuff from have less money so if they want to buy that persons stuff they have to buy it cheaper so I get less money as well. For example I go to the person selling oranges saying that his oranges aren't very good and I make him sell it cheaper so that I will make more money but he will get less which could be bad because then he doesn't have enough money to buy things he wants from other people who might want my apples but they are going to get less money because he is going to buy there stuff for less money so they don't have enough money to buy my apples so I end up losing money as well.

To me the word "economy" means supplies and compensation of a country. But the word "economic warfare" I am not exactly sure know the definition but I think it's connected to the word economy. The word warfare has something to do with war so, I think the word "economic warfare" means activities in war and supplies form a country.

What is Economy?
What I think economy is, is that It’s a thing that manages the world or certain areas resources such as production, supply, and trade. These are all very delicate things because if they are changes a little bit it can affect lots of people and things.

What Is Economic Warfare?
Economic warfare is an intense way to use economy instead of war with weapons. For example, some countries will lower the price of resources like gas and oil so the other country will not make as much money. But this is still not a war until the other country joins and says "you know what I think I'll stop buying your turkey from you" so both countries will be affected have to give in so their country can still be ran properly without total destruction.

Economy~When I here the word economy I think of money. I think most people do as well. For those who don't know economy is kinda of the way the money system works. It is almost like a circle. Your work place gives you money than you spend the money and sometimes it ends up right where it began. In summery, economy is kinda of how the money system works.

Economic Warfare~When you think of war you think of guns,tanks, and bombs but did you know people fight with money. No, they don't use money as a weapon and slap each other on the face with it. They try to make the county they are fighting poor so that the other country can't found the army and can't even run the country. They did this in Russia for explain they lowered gas prices so that Russia was losing money on gas so it couldn't found its army. In conclusion, economic warfare is in some way making they country you are fighting run out of money do that its army won't be as strong.

What are my definitions for these words? Well here they are!

Economy: Money and wealth in some countries and wealth is like oil and gas. It also means how much the whole country is worth depending on how much money, gas, and oil they have.

Economic warfare: This means when one country starts being a threat to the other country and for example " I'm gonna stop buying oil from you."

Puffle

2/12/2015 12:22:58 am

To me economy means a country's wealth and what they're worth. For example, gas, oil, and other sorts of resources. It is also what is worth the most in countries. For example, minerals like gold and silver are worth the most and that's what the country has.

An economy warfare is when a country threats another country to stop taking over land in order for better resources or more resources. For example, when a country is trying to take over land from other countries then another country has to threaten them into stopping the war. By dropping down gas prices the other country will lose money when making these resources to sell to other countries. That, making it hard for them to run their government.

jumpergirl

2/12/2015 01:23:17 pm

To me Economy means the countries wealth and what the whole country is worth, for example if the country has lots of rich land with gas and oil on it, that makes the countries land worth more

Economy warefare is when a country such as Russia threatens and trys to get the other countries land such as Ukraine then stops buying resources from that country
