Solve the $2$ situations:

$4-1.$ The increased availability of information resulting from technological advancements is disrupting the traditional ways of doing things in many spheres of life. This is true in most countries today except in North Korea, Iran, and other totalitarian nations that restrict access to information and deny individual freedoms. How might technological changes influence, if at all, the way these governments operate? Do you think technology might change the way that democracies operate? Explain.

$4-2.$ Following the Second World War the United States and Western democracies rebuilt the world economic system based on free$-$market principles. Today China is using its growing influence to try to sway the global business environment to its way of doing things. What effect is this having on US$$China relations? How are countries reacting to pressure, if any, from China to cooperate more fully with them rather than the United States? How are Western multinational companies adapting to this new reality in international business?
