Outcome #2
The importance of trying to get along with another country or try to become allies has
important variables to look at before coming together. This is the part that many people really
don have a clue on what goes between the countries. The many important variables that go with a
country include political, social, and economic variables. The most important one in this
categories that the country needs to look at when comparing would be economic. This is the one
variable that allows the country to show if it is stable enough with the amount of money they
have. It is important before making any deals or plans with helping on another to check these
variables regardless of what country it will associate with. With political it is important on how
the government is run. Not all the countries are the same except for some that still have a dictator
and we all know who it is. With seeing a political variable within a country, it allows others to
see what kinds of decisions are made for the country and view how the people react how their
country is being run. With the social variable it is important to see because it allows countries to
see how the people within that country think and behave. There can be many comparisons to see
which country has the most in poverty or are pretty wealthy.
When looking at economic variable, the U.S. wants to make sure that the country it is
about to do any business with can hold itself. Since the United States has one of the best
economies in the world, it is important to look at other countries to make sure that when it comes
to trading, there is enough money to help the country grow. It is important for the United States
to open up more trades along with different countries, but cannot happen unless that country
have a good economy. For example, let’s say the U.S wanted to start trading with a country that
does not have functioning economy, the U.S and this country would not be successful. The U.S.
needs countries that are maintaining the economy at a good paste so that both of the economies
can be successful. This also tries to prove which countries can be more powerful than others.
Looking at a countries GDP will allow researcher to see if that country is succeeding. A way to
find out about the economy between many of the countries would be to look at their military. Not
many would know but by looking on how their military. In an article by Michael Beckley, he
states “The logic of this approach is that power ultimately depends on the ability to win major
wars, and doing that requires a big army backed by hefty military budget and substantial
industrial might” (Beckley, 2018, Pg. 17). While many don’t see the military being a sign of
economic, it actually is because it will show how much money is put in to protect the country.
The importance to seeing the economic within a country is very crucial because there has been
any countries that have failed because of their bad economy. Not only is looking at the economy
very important when comparing countries, but also looking at the social variable.
