Shaping a Better World, inspired by the 1995 UN Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, China brings key issues raised in the Platform for Action into 7-12 grade classrooms and addresses human rights, sweat shops, ethnic conflict, the US's role in conflicts around the world, the keys to sustainable development, and biodiversity and cultural diversity. The teaching guide provides social studies, economics, geography, or world studies teachers the opportunity to disccus issues students need to understand about today's interdependent world. This curriculum deals with global issues, much of which we believe to tbe very useful. However, while many of the case studies contain important information, it is important to note that this material was compliled in 2000 and some sections are outdated. Price reduced to $50.00.
