**A)**


 * 1) China and India are not wealthy at the moment, but their economies are growing quickly which might soon change their classification of poor.
 * 2) China and India would be considered developing nations, because they are in a transition stage, and are making an effort to change, which makes them considered not fully developed yet.
 * 3) The standard of living/quality of life in India and China is not very good. In India today 75.6% of the population lives on less than 20 rupees or $0.5 a day in nominal terms, Leaving them with the Issues of Poverty and Regional Imbalance. In China, the conditions are not as bad as India’s but they are still not good conditions to live in. However; both of those nations are working to improve the quality of life in their countries.
 * 4) GNI is defined as Gross Domestic Product plus net receipts from abroad of wages and salaries and of property income.
 * 5) China and India are 3rd world
 * 6) USA is 1st world
 * 7) The term "**First World**" refers to so called developed, //capitalist//, industrial countries, roughly, a block of countries aligned with the United States after World War II, with more or less common political and economic interests: North America, Western Europe, Japan and Australia.
 * 8) **Second World**" refers to the former //communist-socialist//, industrial states, (formerly the Eastern bloc, the territory and sphere of influence of the Union of Soviet Socialists Republic) today: Russia, Eastern Europe (e.g., Poland) and some of the Turk States (e.g., Kazakhstan) as well as China.
 * 9) "**Third World**" are all the other countries, today often used to roughly describe the developing countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America.The term Third World includes as well capitalist (e.g., Venezuela) and communist (e.g., North Korea) countries, as very rich (e.g., Saudi Arabia) and very poor (e.g., Mali) countries.
 * 10) Applied to India & China: These terms are accurate in applying to India and China because India and china are poor but developing nations, and the Third World definition is “roughly describing developing nations.”

**B)** __USA’s role in:__
 * 1)  // Information Revolution (Internet): // Comcast, Time Warner and Cox Communications provide a majority of the cable broadband subscribers. The United States has over 67.7 million people subscribed to the top broadband providers, which account for 94% of the market. The 2009 Stimulus Bill, as it is commonly termed, was enacted by the 111th United States Congress and signed into law by President Barrack Obama on February 17, 2009. This bill provides money to create the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program through the National Telecommunications and Information Administration within the Department of Commerce.
 * 2) // Globalization: The USA does many things to affect other countries. The most tangible thing we have is the strongest military in the world, but I believe our greatest strength is our freedom. Our freedom of thought has led to the ideas for some of the most useful engineering ideas that make our lives safe, simple and fun.  //
 * 3) // Outsource: // The USA outsources many things especially from India and China like electronics, clothing, toys, ect.
 * 4) // The G8/G20: // The USA were initial members of the G8 and the G20. The G20 summit had meetings in the USA on 11/18/2008 in Washington D.C., and 9/3/09 in Pittsburg. The USA has also hosted many G8 summits in Houston, Williamsburg, Denver, and some others as well.

__China’s Role in:__

 * 2) //Globalization:// China influences a lot of other countries mostly by exporting all of the products/goods that they produce.
 * 3) // Outsource: // China exports almost everything to the USA. Almost all types of clothes and a lot of electronics, merely just the start of all the things they export. In return they import some goods from the USA as well but they mainly export.
 * 4) // The G8/G20 :// China is not in the G8 and is not a substantial figure in the G20, but one thing to note is that they were the chair country of the G20 a couple years ago in 2005.

__India’s role in:__ Video: []  **__SOURCES:__**
 * 1) // Information Revolution :// There has been a great increase in Indian content on the Internet. Many net entrepreneurs have been quick to realize the huge potential of the global market in India, and have made some strides in online sales.

 * 3) // Outsource :// India exports many things to the USA such as cotton products/fabrics for clothing, jewelry (diamonds are the most commonly exported), and also things like  Medicinal, dental and pharmaceutical preparations are commonly exported from India.
 * 4) // The G8/G20: // India is very similar to china in terms of G8 and G20. They are not a nation that is a part of G8, and the only thing to take note of for their involvement in G20 was when they were the chair country in 2002.
