Day 2- Build our knowledge in order to develop a sound definition of globalization. Watch the following videos and as you do take notes on three key areas for each; what is globalization, how did it happen, why is increasing?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJ0nFD19eT8
Now that you have watched these videos and taken notes on them it is your turn to define globalization. You are responsible for creating a definition of globalization. Think of it as if you are writing the first 3-5 sentences of the Wikipedia entry on globalization. Be precise and scholarly.
Day 3- Final Definition; using the definitions you developed yesterday I crafted a definition that combined the most important ideas that many of you included and filled in any crucial holes we had. Take note, you are to know this definition as well as be able to explain it to someone by the end of class.
Globalization is the increasing process of international interconnectivity and interdependence characterized by significant escalations in the exchange of goods, capital investments, cultures, social-political-economic beliefs, ideas, religions, and people throughout the world. The process has seen dramatic increase in the past 30 years due to international cooperation, removal of trade barriers, and dramatic developments in the transportation and communication industries.
Record this definition, draw a line under it and in the space below define the following terms in relation to globalization; interconnectivity, interdependence, escalations, and capital investments. Additionally, you need to explain and provide an example of international cooperation, removal of trade barriers, and transportation and communication developments.
