Diplomatic Gifts with ___________

The United States has received many famous gifts from other nations. The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France and was presented to the United States in 1884. In 1972 the Peoples’ Republic of China sent two giant pandas to the Washington National Zoo.

Why might other nations present the United States with a gift?

ROTATE!

Stand up and move two desks

to the right.

Foreign Aid with ___________Each year the United States give billions of dollars of

economic and humanitarian aid to countries around the world. Yet some Americans believe this generosity could

be improved. When broken down per citizen, U.S. foreign aid is much less than that given by other

countries. However, some Americans argue that as the third most-populous country in the world, the U.S.

needs to concentrate on providing aid to its own citizens.

Why do we give foreign aid? Why should we give more or less?

ROTATE!

Stand up and move two desks

to the right.

U.S. Imports with ___________Regulating trade and the environment are important elements of U.S. foreign policy. Imports play a large role in that policy.

Imports are items we getfrom another country likea BMW or a 3DS.

Exports are items we sellTo another country like moviesand Ford cars.

What do you think the largest U.S. export is? Why do you think we send so many of those out of the country?

ROTATE!

Stand up and move two desks

to the right.

Peace Corps with ___________The Peace Corps (the ‘s’ is silent) was set up by

President Kennedy in 1961 as a volunteer program run by the U.S. government. Its goal is to promote world

peace and friendship by sending volunteers to the poorest countries in the world to help with education, construction, and job training. Volunteers stay in their

assigned country for 2 years.

If you knew that leaving America would help dozens of people live a better life, would you join the Peace Corp? Why or why not?
