Globalization Unit Reflection

 Globalization has been a huge impact on the world because many things have become popular around the world because they have been sent to different countries.


         For social/cultural globalization some pros are that other people's culture will spread and that can show other people how others think and also respect others more. It can also make them interested in other cultures. You can also socialize with people after you have moved because technology has globalized around the world so people can socialize with friends/family they can't see anymore. Some cons are some people may not want to hear about others cultures. So many people socialize through their technology which is not always a good thing because nowadays people use it like every moment of their life.


             Some good things about technology/environmental globalization are that if you move you can still connect with your friends and family because of technology. Because of globalization technology has spread to different countries.  People who garden/farm can talk to people all over the world to help people who have a problem with the plants so, they can help the environment. Some cons of technology/environmental globalization are that the different companies will be built to globalize different things around the world. The companies will cause different pollution to the environment. Technology can be bad too because in this era of the world everyone is using technology which isn't actually a good thing because some people use technology too much.


          Good things about economic and political globalization are that the countries control how much is produced and how they want to produce items to sell. Other companies may like how different companies get their work done in an efficient way so, that would help some companies. It is also smart to distribute the items you are selling in a good amount to other places so each place has enough of that item to sell. When you distribute the sell items it will globalize around the world to the different countries. The downsides are that for political other countries may not like the different politicians.


In conclusion, I think that for the most part globalization is a good thing because many things have globalized around the world that make people happy and some of it are good. It is good to socialize with others and globalization can let us do that because technology has globalized around the world. There have been more good things because of globalization around the world.

Analysis

Paste your political cartoon here. ` What aspect of globalization is your cartoon is criticizing? (Highlight one) cultural/social             technological/environmental            political/economic Which visual techniques or literary devices (from the list above) did you use in your cartoon? Explain why you used it and why you think it is effective. Personification, because we gave human-esque qualities to all American companies, and organized into the body of a human, making it walk, to show American companies decisions and downfalls. Juxtaposition. We used this to convey the relationship between the U.S.A and China when it comes to globalization. We put the American companies guy with some Chinese factory workers to bluntly show a literal example of what is happening in today's modern world. Symbolism, because we wanted to show the effect of China’s pollution without blatantly saying so, so we included a smoke stack, and had China’s name engulfed in smoke to show the effect of pollution on the nation. Explain the message regarding globalization.   Use evidence from the cartoon. The cartoon connects globalization exhibits lots of aspects of globalization, though has an overarching theme of the economic change due to the globalization in our world. It displays a man compile of American companies, expanding its business to China, where products can be made for less money and with more efficiency. Then, it shows the ‘American companies’ guy running back to the U.S border away from China with his profits, though his money bag has split and the Chinese are picking up the remnants. Our cartoon shows how the globalization of products can result in economic growth or decrease, and we chose to show this on a more minimal scale, something very relevant to globalization in our world. Make connections to the globalization unit, current events, or your life to back up your assertions. I believe that our political cartoon is very relevant and representative of our thriving world today. For one, it is evident that companies gain more profit, they choose to expand their businesses globally. After all, 30 years ago it would be unheard of to see a Starbucks Coffee Shop in Egypt, but thanks to our globalizing world, that dream is now a reality. We thought that our cartoon reflected the impact of American companies expanding all over the world, and I believe we got that message across quite clearly. Paste your political cartoon in the class slideshow and be prepared to share it with the class. (done)
