Levels of the Economy in British Columbia

Good afternoon, I'm sorry I am away at the Supreme Court today.

Today you are to look at 3(4) levels of the economy in British Columbia.

The 3 levels are Primary (resource extraction), Secondary (slight modifications to the resource such as making lumber) and Tertiary/Quaternary (creating a complicated end product, or the information economy/tourism)[Post Modern Economy]. NOTE: If you take further economics courses tertiary and quaternary will be separated but for this course we are combining them. You are to go on-line and find an example of a company located in British Columbia for each of the three levels of economy. For each you are to:

Summarize the company,
Where is it located,
What does the company do,
Why is it part of the section of the economy that you say it is?

You are then to post your three companies.

NEXT, you are to answer the following question in a paragraph and email it to me a southwell_j@sd36.bc.ca

Question: Has British Columbia always had a balanced economy with all 3 levels in the economy or has there been a historical progression from primary to secondary to tertiary? Explain your answer. Keep in mind, changing technology, labour costs, and globalization.

Remember your 60 second Pitches tomorrow!!

Monday Nov 1

Good Morning, I hope you had a good Halloween.

To start I would like you to watch the following video. You may remember I told you about a businessman in Port Coquitlam who bought (with his own money) a container to house homeless people. He was then fined for having people sleep on his property. They has since dropped the fine but he is not allowed to use his containers (he now has 3). He has made this video to get support for a project to create a container shelter in the Tri-Cities (Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam and Port Moody). Please watch the video and answer the questions as a post.



1. What do you think about this idea?
2. Would you think differently if the proposal was to put the containers in your neighborhood?
3. We live in a time when the government offers assistance to (some) who are in need but traditionally, help usually came from the community, not governement. Should the community still try to help those in need or should it only be the role of government? Explain.
4. When the Selkirk settlers first setttled in the Red River near the Metis, their farms were not successful. They were eventually helped by the HBC but it was actually the Metis that first helped them (eventhough they didn't get along). Some call this social responsibility. Please discuss the idea of social resposibility with a partner and then write a paragraph addressing the following. Is social responsibilty important? Historically/Now? Should we teach social responsibilty in school? Why/Why not

Former British Colony: Hong Kong

1. Hong Kong. Located in China, along the east coast.
2. When China sought to restrict illegal British opium trafficking, it brought about the Opium Wars. Queen Victoria and the Emperor of China, wanting to end the hostilities between the two countries, resolved to make the Treaty of Nanking. One of the articles included the cession of Hong Kong to Britain.
3. Britain's economy relied heavily on the trading of tea between China.  Other goods such as silk and opium were also traded.
4. The 99 year lease agreed upon in the Treaty of Nanking in 1842 was exceeded. Finally, in 1997, the two governments agreed to the sovereignty of Hong Kong, and Hong Kong was returned to the People's Republic of China.
5. Modern day Hong Kong and China are very different because of Hong Kong's time as a British colony. Hong Kong has adapted to many customs of Britain, and considers itself independant of Chinese control, having it's own set of laws and regulations.

Hong Kong


1. The name of the land that Britain took over in Hong Kong was called the New Territories.

2. Britain obtained a 99 year lease on the Lantau Island and the Adjecent Northern Islands.

3. They used it for textile exports and trading. They also found cheap labour and wanted the land for cemetary and military use.

4. Hong Kong made The New Territories an official colony in 1983.

5. In 1894 the Third deadly pandemic of the bubonic plague spread from China to Hong Kong killing from 50 000 - 100 000 people.

Barbados

Barbados is located in the western area of the North Atlantic Ocean. In 1625, it became English, and then later on, a British Colony. In 1625, english sailors arrived at Barbados. It was the only carribean island not taken over by the British colony yet, and this is why the British empire took over. The main economic activities didn't include much. Although, it did become one of the world's biggest sugar industries later on. The colony gained independence in November 1996, after years of peaceful and democratic success. Barbados is also a member of the United Nations.

Singapore

The colony that I chose is Singapore and it is an island located Peninsular of Malaysia north of the equator. In 1819 an Englishman Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles established a British port in Singapore. Singapore also was a centre of trade from India to China. During World War 2 Singapore was captured and controlled by the Japanese Empire, but when the war ended Singapore reverted back to British Control. The British benefited from Singapore in 2 main ways. The first was that it was a new port that was very good for trading with farther countries. The second is that it is a lot closer to China so it was a lot easier for the British to trade with China. In the 1955 Singapore started a partial self government although it wasn’t too successful at first. In 1959 the elections for the first legislated assembly were held. Later on the PAP leaders, people’s action party, wanted to join Singapore and Malaysia because they thought that the economic ties were too strong to for them to continue governing as separate nations, but of course this didn’t work. Some other facts that I learned about Singapore is that it has a pretty good amount of diversity of people including: Malay, Chinese, Indian, and even some European influences.
