Chapter 7, Section 1

1. Due to the development in postindustrial economies in the United States and Canada, people tend to live comfortably next to their workplaces and in a close proximity to some sort of recreational facility because these business are typically placed next to suburbs and recreational facilities.

2. The United States and Canada are interdependent upon each other because we use our trade to help balance out the money we lose from our massive amounts of outsourcing and imports and Canada uses this system to take in our wheat, corn, minerals and other products.

Creative Writing: The United States and Canada both have have market economies, postindustrial economies, and global economies. In a market economy, people are allowed to operate and own their own businesses, which helps postindustrial economies to take place because the owners can focus more on the quality of their service. The most efficient way to improve the quality of their service of course is to make it more high-tech, which leads to a postindustrial economy. And once businesses are able to make high quality goods quickly, they can ship them to other countries, helping form a global economy like the United States and Canada have joined.
