Globalization Case Study
ACTIVITIES
Activity 1:
Thai red curry is from Thailand. Sushi is from Japan. Amok trei is from the Khmer Empire. Poppadums are from somewhere in India, Pakistan, and/or Bangladesh. Spaghetti is from Palermo in Sicily. I have eaten food from Haiti and Mexico and more.
Activity 2:
United States, china, other, and other advanced economics. Those countries gain more benefits from globalization and shares
Activity 3:
When I drive around or I am in the mall. At Starbucks you can get coffee and pastries. I have never seen fair trade. They stand for what ever values get them money and let them make a profit. These places sell other products like cups and clothes to promote their business.
Activity 4:
1.Starbucks says they pay a average of over a dollar per pound of coffee and they commit to fair trade
2.severe economic inequalities of coffee making with the laborer/farmers aren’t paid compared to sellers
3.exploitation of farmers
Activity 5:
They have large platforms and fans/followers. They raise awareness to specific issues and they know it will reach many areas of people based on their platforms
Notes:
· Gamson - emerging celebrity activism narrative is an attempt at establishing a greater connection between the audience and celebrities
· The world is becoming increasingly interconnected as a result of massively increased trade and cultural exchange. This process has been called globalization
· the ‘growing interconnectedness of various parts of the world, a process which gives rise to the complex form of the interaction and interdependency
· Reasons for globalization: improvements in communication and transportation, freedom of trade, and labor availability and skills
· When you buy something, your anti-capitalist duty –the desire to do something for others and for the environment – is already included in your purchase.’
