Here is what I think globalization is.
I have included my brief's off the Small-World Wiki.
Enjoy!
HamilTRON brief about globalisation:
Globalisation is the communication and intergration of economies, industries, people, governments, social worlds and world leaders. Globalisation effects everyone, anywhere, anytime. Also in my opinion, I think society has changed dramatically in the few decades.
Happy Wikiying.

Has anybody heard of the Silk Road? (Clue: It was a very important step in globalization. And it involved traders, money and big companies!)

No answers?
Well here's the answer if you were pondering.
The Silk Road is the small stretch of land (now known as Turkey) that links European traders to Asian and Persian (Middle Eastern) traders.
Traders bought and traded each other for money, jewllery and many other items.
I think this is related to modern globalisation beacause the traders had to travel. They had discovered a new place in the world (communication). They had built a new relastionship with other traders. And they had supported their economy by selling (exporting) their goods overseas to inject money into their economy. I think the Silk Road was a giant step to moder globalisation. Without it, Europe and Asia will not be as big in the economy as they really are right now!

On the news I heard that over half of China's toy makers have been bankrupt due to the global economic crisis. It's major importers (Hasbro, Mattel) have had their lowest record profit for this year. Toy prices are expected to go up. Also work conditions and working hours are to blame the bankrupcy. GLobalisation can even effect toys!
