The goal of this assignment is for the students to learn about OPEC and discuss the power of Persian Gulf.

While reading Chapter 7, focus on Global Economics (p. 197-200) and relevant parts from Geographic Diversity (p.202-209). Do additional research if needed and once you are done reading and researching, write up an essay about 400-500-words long, while answering the following questions:

-What is OPEC? When was it formed? What was the goal?
-Describe the events of 1973 in relation to OPEC’s actions.
-What is the role of OPEC today compared to the 1970s?

Be sure to include your references. Cite direct quotes. Copied and pasted text without proper credit will result in a zero for this assignment (please refer to Academic Honesty policies). Submit it on Bb by Friday, November 13 (end of day).
