Year 8 Club 9 geographers

Throughout time, superpowers have been nations with global influence through military, economic, and political strength. While countries like the USA and the former USSR dominated in the past, emerging powers like China, India, and Brazil are now gaining global importance. In our recent Club 9 session, students created Top Trump cards to compare current and potential superpowers, examining factors like economy, military, resources, and culture. They also explored what affects superpower status, such as political stability, innovation, economic sector dominance and global challenges. The session showed how power shifts over time and the many factors that shape a nation’s global role.
