The world is becoming more and more interconnected. Globalization changes how people consume, work and live almost everywhere on the world. Today, many economic, political, cultural or ecological relationships are not explainable from a national perspective.
But what are the main causes for globalization? In what areas is it most prominent? And who are the winners and losers of globalization?
These are the questions this animated video short deals with.
The video may be used to introduce students to the concept of globalization. It serves to outline in broad terms the causes of globalization, the reach of globalization, and the consequences of globalization. The framework, thus provided, represents a starting point for student investigation of each of these issues in further detail.
Globalization is an excellent example of integrative study since it invites students to approach the topic from a political, economic, cultural, environmental, and human rights perspective.
