Today in Human Geo class we continued our
discussion from yesterday on globalization and how it effects America as well
as other nations. An aspect of life that is greatly affected by globalization
is language. Understanding more than one language is becoming more and more
popular as globalization brings cultures into more direct contact and interconnect
them. Interconnection was an important word in today’s discussion because it
perfectly represented globalization.
Along with language, another thing we talked about
today relating to globalization was United Nations. The U.N is when nations
come together from all over the globe to try to talk their way out of
disagreements peacefully. In other words, they try to make decisions before war
and tragedies occur.
We also reflected on how life in America would be if it weren’t for globalization. Without trading, there would be no bananas, or other tropical fruits. We would also have to spend more money on American workers to manufacture clothing and other materials.
Globalization is a part of everyday life even if we don’t always recognize it.
