Textbook Reference:Revise KS3 Geography Study Guide:pages 111 -120
(Do remember the textbook is not ESSENTIAL for this course, as the course is updated each year to make it current and the book is not - but you can find useful back-up information in it.) This half term we will be looking at development: what is it? How can we measure it? What are the Millennium Development Goals? How are the big international companies affecting development? Is AID a good thing? Is getting the poorer countries producing goods better?

Lesson 5: Ways to raise GDP: TNCs and Fairtrade
Powerpoint: Class notes: Homework:

Many transnational companies have had a really poor reputation in the past. Take Big Mac for example, they used to source much of their beef from Brazil. The farms were as a result of deforestation of the Amazon, and it was not long before people were boycotting them on that account. Since then, they have become much more aware of their environmental impact and no longer use beef from sources that cause serious environmental damage. Not it must be stated because they have become the good guys over night but because they could not afford the economic impact of so many customers staying away. However, since then, they have adopted principals and schemes that do do some good for their own sakes. This document looks at some of the more dubious practices that Coco Cola was up into in 2005. I would think that they too have looked at their profit and changed their ways since then.
