November 28


I started a presentation today called "Globalization and Sustainability", which we'll try to finish off tomorrow. We also started watching a film today called "Shipbreakers", which we will finish in tomorrow's class. I collected your Chapter 13 Key Terms and Questions as well today. Tonight could be used to work on your TNC Dossier Assignment, since you have no other homework to speak of. See you tomorrow.


We finished watching "Super Size Me" today. For homework tonight, please write a one page opinion piece about the "North American Perception of Food". Please also check your e-mail today, since I'm sending you an e-mail called "Hungry Planet", you could maybe incorporate that into your opinion piece.

Hey Mr.G, I'm doing Disney for my project, and I was wondering if you could help me with getting examples of how Disney has affected people's lives politically, thanks.

i still dont get the question "how did this transnational corporation evolve into a prime example of economic globalization", could you post some examples of what you would like to see as answers please?

I'm not sure if you would see Disney affecting your life politically, to be honest with you. I would focus in on the social and economic moreso with that TNC.

Someone posted this exact comment the other day. I'm not going to post answers here, but rather try to point you in the right direction. Here's how I answered that question: all this question means is "how did (insert name of your TNC here) become the large transnational corporation that it is today?" Does this help?

for what sections on the dossier project would you prefer to be in point form?
also, in our timeline would you like us to include acquisitions that we previously covered in the expansion of the TNC?
and for "how did this transnational corporation evolve into a prime example of economic globalization"
would you like us to be like :
they started off in blah blah and then started to market blah blah and with the support of local investors was able to open a store
things like that? or is that totally wrong?

mr G
i'm confused
what is the difference between the early development and expansion of the TNC compared to how it evolved into a prime example of economic globalization?

Mr. Gilchrist, can we do the explain your TNC briefly in point form? Or does that have to be in paragrapph? And can everything be in point form, because paragraphs take up a lot of spce.

would you like us to include info about the TNC's moral beliefs and guidelines?
if so, what section would you like that under?

I'll try to answer your questions as quickly as possible:
1. I'm flexible as to which sections are in point form. Some items would be easier to do in point form, and other sections you might prefer to do in paragraph form. Please check the rubric.
2. You can include mergers and acquisitions in your timeline too.
3. Yes, that sounds okay.

There will be some overlap so don't stress about that if it happens.

I'm pretty flexible here. I think that you could briefly explain it in point form, but if you prefer to do it in paragraph form that's fine too, just make sure that you meet the requirements of the assignment as per the rubric.

Hmmm, I'm not sure what section that might fit under best. It depends on what we're talking about, but maybe you could have it under corporate responsibility, or under perspectives of your corporation. Does this help?
