Exam Review – World Issues
This class was broken down into 4 units, Introduction to the World, Diversity and Disparity,
Geopolitics and the Environment, and Quality of Life, Injustice, and the Future. You have been
given tests and test reviews for units 1-3, use those! Below you will find a Review for unit 4.

final exam
