February 1


For most of the class period we examined different definitions of globalization. As you could tell from this activity, there are many different perspectivs about globalization, and whether it is a beneficial or detrimental force in our world today. We also looked at some visual examples fo globalization and tried to make connections to globalization. Please make sure that you bring the textbook Perspectives on Globalization to class on Tuesday. Have a great long weekend!



Today we started the looking at the effect of political and economic systems on your lives. We brainstormed a list of possible connections between your lives and politics and government and economics. I will be sending the presentation that we built together in class today after school. Next week we'll be looking at the concepts of individualism and collectivism and the political spectrum. I collected your letters of introduction at the end of class, if you didn't hand it in, please do so on Tuesday. Have a great long weekend!
