GLOBALIZATION!
This word is so ubiquitous that its meaning is often glossed over or not understood at all. It is also a very complex idea that does not lend itself well to an easy definition. One good definition that I like, and which comes from our course textbook, is:
“Increasing interconnectedness of people and places through converging processes of economic, political, and cultural change.”In this post I want you to find one image that you feel captures the essence of globalization. Paste this image into your blog and write about what it says and why you selected it. I like this picture since it showcases one of the driving forces of globalization - international trade, especially by large multinational corporations.
Good luck exploring and remember that anyone on the planet (with an Internet connection) can read your blog! So think clearly, write neatly, and share your geographic thoughts, expertise, and creativity.
