The document discusses the difference between countries that have natural resources and those that do not. It references a map showing internet users in 2002 to illustrate the divide between resource-rich "haves" and resource-poor "have nots." Students are tasked with printing maps from an online resource showing the global distribution of forests, petroleum imports, coal and gas exports, and coal-generated power. They are also asked to consider facts about resource haves and have nots from their textbook and discuss whether this system is fair or how it could be made fairer.
