Globalization 9/10/13


Today in Human Geography class we talked about Globalization. I took a few notes on this topic:

· Globalization is often associated with "Americanization" or the exporting of American brands and consumer goods.

· Globalization is as old as civilization it's self. The silk road (established BCE) was made to trade with other nations. It is still in use today.

· Globalization spreads multiple religious beliefs beyond their area of origin

We also looked at a few images to help understand globalization. One picture we examined was a KFC and McDonalds in Japan. Another picture we looked at was a man in Kenya talking on a cell phone. This proves that secluded countries in Africa are still going through globalization. In order for him to be talking a phone, he would need cell phone service and an outlet to charge his phone with. Even some of the most secluded places are experiencing globalization.
