  1. When do you think globalization began? Think of an event from history that may have signified when it began?

  2. Experts disagree on when globalization began. Is it important to know when globalization began in order to study it? Why is history important?

  3. Sheshabalaya First Stage – goods and ideas were exchanged along ancient trade routes. During this phase the Arabic civilizations were among the first ambassadors of the realm of ideas. They transferred knowledge of Indian science, medicine, literature, and mathematics to Europe. Second Stage – This stage grew out of the first round and began in the late 1400s. Building on new ideas, Europeans developed technologies that enabled them to sail much farther than ever before. The growth of this stage of globalization is related to European Imperialism. Third Stage – This is our current phase of globalization. It began after WWII. It is a time of rapid growth of world markets and nearly instant global communication.

  4. Not everyone agrees! You’re wrong! The goods that were traded until the 1800’s were clothes, furs and other luxuries. These things didn’t substantially change societies. You turds are both wrong. The first nations societies were changed drastically! And what about the renaissance? Many societies changed as the result of the exchange of goods, and ideas as well as the relations between political powers. I think globalization began with Columbus’s first voyage in 1492.

The growth of the middle class in Europe Discovery of valuable raw materials

  10. MERCANTILISM You mean we have to send our supplies to England so they can make them in to crappy nick-nacs and then we have to buy them at inflated prices. Why are we the ones who always get screwed?

  11. Consequences of Globalization on People Lets Review… Mercantilism means… Imperialism means… Colonization Ethnocentrism Eurocentrism

  12. Suppose a swarm of heavily armed people arrived at your front door and announced that they were going to move in and live with you. Your family could continue to live in the basement or another room, but you would have access to the rest of your home only when it suited the newcomers. How would you respond? Would you give in, fight back, or try to negotiate a better deal? Would you come up with a different solution?

  13. Cheap Labour To maintain the steady flow of trade between colonies and home countries, the imperial powers needed an abundant, reliable supply of cheap labour. Workers in the colonies kept plantations operating while others churned out finished products in factories at home. But cheap labourwas critical to achieving high profits — and to find it, employers turned to slaves, indentured labourers, and children.

  14. Cheap Labour Read pages 5 How did business owners benefit from slave labour? Why do you think it took so long for governments to ban slavery?

  15. Responses to Slavery Slavery Slave Trade What is the difference between these terms? Add these two terms to your list

  16. What do you think? Was involvement in the slave trade morally better or worse than owning slaves – or did it amount to the same thing? Write a two or three sentence summary Be prepared to defend your response

  17. Slavery – A Moral Dilemma Your responses probably fit into one of the following three categories: • Trading and owning slaves amounts to the same thing morally because they depend on each other. • Owning is less morally wrong because owners are participating in a system they have little control over, while traders are actively dealing in lives. • Trading is less morally wrong because the traders are just meeting a need. If the owners did not demand slaves, the traders would not need to find them and sell them – and if these traders don’t do it, then someone else will. African Imperialism Assignment
