In this course, we examine how social, economic, political and cultural processes transform
relationships between people and the spaces they inhabit. Globalization is one of the key processes
shaping human geographies in the 21st century. Although globalization operates at a planetary scale,
its effects are felt in the spaces and routines of daily life. For this assignment, you are asked you to
observe and analyze how globalization manifests in your own everyday experiences.
Objectives
•
• Apply core geographic concepts of place, space and scale
•
Identify concrete examples of how global processes shape local contexts
•
Develop skills in observation and analysis
Instructions

influences of globalization:
○ Material goods - commodities, food
○
Media & entertainment
о
Technology & communication
о
