This image is an example of Economic Globalization. It shows how dependant we all are on each other. This particular picture is China as the worlds lead merchandice supplier.

Reflection

Until this point we have completed two worksheets; the Comparison Chart between the Beothuk, the Hunters of the Plains and the six nation confederacy showing the ups and downs of the arrival of the Europeans and Drawings of the New World. This course is really easy to follow but there are still some goals that I would like to work on. First thing is my level of effort and second is showing up to class on time more.

So Far

This past week our class has studied and learned about globalization. Globalization has eight subcategories:
         -Economic Globalization is the process of expanding world trading networks.
         -Cultural Globalization is the act of adopting another cultures customs.
         -Geographic Globalization is the literal connection between two countries causing influence.
         -Social Gloabalization is the spread of lyfestyle through voice.
         -Technological Globalization is ifluence of lyfestyle through technology.
         -Ecological Globalization is the use of foreign resources.
         -Political Globalization is the coming togather of goverments to discuss a matter.
         -Finantial Globalization is the fluxuation of economies and expences.

Also we have discussed the Europeans and they're voyage into Canada, the encounter with the First nations, and the positive and nagative effects of this encounter.

Welcome to my Blog

The purpose of this blog is to reflect upon my learning and to share with my class mates, teacher and my parents what I have been learning in Social 10-2.
