The UK has had terrorism for decades (much of financed by Americans),
and the world has had it since governments began.

You could end World Hunger and Third World Disease.
But that would not make the USA any money.

Concepts and Lessons
Real World Data=20
The game integrates a vast quantity of geophysical and socioeconomic =
data so that players work with real-world issues and problems. Empowered =
by tools and techniques in the game, individuals define, understand, and =
solve regional and global problems.=20
Leadership=20
What is the best solution to our environmental problems? Which is more =
important, wealth or resources? Should we form an economic alliance with =
Southeast Asia? In a Global Simulation Workshop, players constantly make =
tough decisions and follow them through. Their actions have a real =
impact on each other and on the world they create. Together, they =
experience the rewards and risks of realizing a vision.=20
Teamwork=20
Every team of 3-6 players must work together to build a coherent =
strategy. Each player develops an area of expertise and learns to =
cooperate with teammates. The success of the team depends on the ability =
of its members to pool their knowledge and skills.=20
Responsibility=20
The world is a complex system. Actions have consequences. Nowhere are =
these concepts more clearly demonstrated than in the Global Simulation =
Workshop. Players see the results of their actions reverberate =
throughout the world, and learn that they can make a real difference for =
themselves and for each other.=20
Strategies=20
Twenty teams compete with each other for global resources; yet they must =
also cooperate to receive the help they need to develop and advance. =
Participants learn to act and react to a unique set of circumstances and =
to balance self-interest and altruism, competition and cooperation, =
individual goals and the collective fate of the world.=20
Communication=20
Whether it is fashioning a strategy with one's own teammates, or =
negotiating with another team, players learn to articulate their goals, =
explain their perspectives, and win others over to their viewpoints. =
They learn the importance of effective communication in a world where =
everyone's interests are interconnected.=20
Problem Solving=20
In a Global Simulation Workshop, each team faces a unique set of =
challenges, economic, political, social, and environmental. Players =
decide which problems they want to tackle and negotiate with each other =
throughout the game to find sustainable solutions.=20
Complexity=20
No mathematical model can reflect the most important forces that shape =
the world - social interactions, personalities, ambitions, values. =
Players find their actions and ideas reflected in a world they create =
together, and these values make the outcome of each game unique.=20
The Big Picture=20
History. Economics. Geography. Political science. Ethics. Social =
studies. Technology. Culture. All of these elements that reflect the =
complexity of the real world are integrated into the Global Simulation =
Workshop. In a world so intricate and dynamic, it is easy for =
individuals to lose sight of the "big picture". The Global Simulation =
Workshop helps them reconnect with the global perspective by putting the =
world into their hands.=20
