This "Building a Dynamic Partnership for Poverty Reduction through Economic Growth" document has to do with Honduras' global interdependence because it explains how the United States is helping Honduras develop. The article states that the United States is helping by increasing Honduras' yearly income, this is being done by improving the efficiency of the farmers in Honduras. The "Millennium Challenge Corporation" ran by the US will donate money to Honduras to provide farmers with the skills and technology to grow crops that sell on the international market for higher prices then the crops they are growing in Honduras now. This shows how economical global interdependence is working because the United States is helping Honduras (another country) with their economy, making it a global relationship, and therefore global interdependence. Because the definition of global interdependence is when one country depends on another country for support, like how Honduras depends on the United States to help rise their sales of exported crops.

In the article "Public Expenditure Tracking Surveys - Application in Uganda, Tanzania, Ghana, and Honduras" it explains how Public Expenditure Tracking Surveys (PETS) is used globally in many different third world countries to help make sure public funds, and resources end up where they are intended to go. For example Honduras used the organization PETS as a resource to find many faults in their government, such as getting the proper pay checks to the employees that actually did that job, and deserve that pay. And in Honduras PETS was used to find people who don’t show up to a job, but still get paid. This was making these businesses fail, due to paying people who didn’t show up, and not meeting their quotas because there were not enough people on the job. But now they know to stop paying these people, so it will improve Honduras’ business ratings. The PETS program has to do with global interdependence because countries around the world are depending on other countries to donate to the PETS program. Which helps fix the third world countries’ political problems and corrupt governments (in many cases.) Therefore less fortunate countries are depending on other more fortunate countries to give them a hand. [|PUBLIC EXPENDITURE TRACKING SURVEYS – APPLICATION IN UGANDA, TANZANIA, GHANA AND HONDURAS]

This video "Obama Latin America Militarization Policy" explains how the US relations have not lived up to their expectations of equal partnership in Latin America. Some countries in Latin America have been given and offered a lot of help from the United States like Honduras, while other Latin American countries such as Cuba have been offered none, to little help from the US. This is an example of how global interdependence is not always exact, and it doesn't always please everyone. Just like on a personal level relationship sometimes there is "drama", and there can be fights where things don't always go smoothly, like how global relationships can be like it is stated in this video.

"China﻿﻿﻿﻿ hopes Honduras regain stability as soon as possible" is an article from China stating that China hopes Honduras will regain stability soon. This has to do with global interdependence because Honduras is in trouble, but China isn't really helping them they are just hoping that Honduras will get through their problems alone. On the other hand the article did state that China is willing to have a friendly relationship with Honduras. This is a good start for a global relationship, but since China is such a strong nation they should help out countries like Honduras that need help politically, and other ways as well. This shows that global interdependence only works if there is interaction between the countries, not just sitting back and hoping another country will do well, but helping that country do well.

This video called “Mexico’s train of Death” is about migrants from all over Central America that jump on trains in Mexico in hope of a bright future in America. A lot of these migrants never even make it from Mexico to America, recently about 40 migrants were captured off the trains, and they were tied up, and have now disappeared. Honduras and other Central American countries are demanding that Mexico ’s police force investigate this abduction, and tighten security near the railroads. This affects global interdependence because it shows how countries will intervene on another country to make sure their citizens are safe in the other country. With global relations you must take control of a country or situation that could harm your people, or your country. [|Mexico's train of death]
