Kevin Lee- Blog Post Week 4

            Mel Gurtov’s “The Trans-Pacific Partnership: A Deeply Flawed Partnership” talks about how the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is trying to form a new kind of bill that does not serve the human interest. The TPP does not take into consideration of human interests, as well as benefitting the countries that it is “supposed” to help. Gurtov states that this partnership does not provide hard evidence of environmental protection, considers profits over human rights, and considers globalization as a competition for the top. The U.S. government believes that the U.S. is the leader and that everyone else will follow suit; however, that is not the case because the TPP is nothing more than a scam. The TPP does not benefit anyone except the people running the show. There is no point in a partnership if the partnership is just a fraud that only benefits one side and not the other.


Question: Does the TPP actually provide support and connections with other countries, or does is it just a way for the U.S. to control every other country in the world?
