26
Definition of Globalisation
Globalisation is defined as the breakdown of traditional barriers between nations and a trend towards faster and cheaper movement around the world of people, goods, money and information.
27
Factor #1: Trade
Trade - Trade is the exchange of all goods and services between groups of people. It's more efficient now and goods can be transported all over the world.
28
Factor #2: Transport
Transport - Larger quantities of goods can now be moved, and taken anywhere in less than 24 hours.
29
Factor #3: Travel
Travel - It's now more easily accessible, and relatively more affordable.
30
Factor #4: Culture
Culture - Culture is the ideas, customs, and social behaviour of a particular group, people, or society. Culture and Cultural Ideas can now be more easily spread.
31
Factor #5: TNCs
TNC's - Businesses can now capitalise on countries whose cost of production is lower, plus they have access to other countries and markets.
32
Factor #6: ICTs
ICT's - Allows for easy and very quick communication
33
Benefits of Globalisation
Travel is easier - Trade/Transport is more cost effective - Information spreads faster (people are more up to date) - Culture can be spread easier - TNCs provide work to underdeveloped countries - Transport is becoming better for the environment (good enough if you can just name a couple of these)
34
Consequences of Globalisation
New technology leaves a bigger carbon footprint - Extinction of non-renewable substances - Jobs in developing countries are quite unregulated - Green space is being replaced with multi-level development - Local business unsupported - Disruption of local communities with tourism - ICTs promote less face-to-face interaction - Pollution levels heightened because of more TNCs - Exposure to dominant cultures
35
Social Impacts of Fast Fashion
Exploitation of workers // earning this income comes at expense of education
36
Environmental Impacts of Fast Fashion
Damaging Pesticides // Heavy water Consumption // Heavy water Pollution // Contributor in terms of Fossil Fuels and Climate Change
37
Economic Impacts of Fast Fashion
Fashion Industry blows up in terms of worth // Poorer countries make more money // More jobs
38
how are orangutans affected? (by palm oil production)
The primary threat to orangutans is the extensive loss of their natural habitat due to logging, agricultural expansion (particularly palm oil plantations), and infrastructure development. Deforestation fragments their habitats, isolating populations and limiting their ability to find food and mates.
39
products that contain palm oil
Lipstick Pizza Dough Instant Noodles Shampoo Ice Cream Detergent Margarine Chocolate
40
responses to palm oil plantations
WWF - works with government to introduce laws to limit plant oil plantations, set up cooperatives in Tawau, Sabah to support small growers into becoming RSPO certified (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) GREENPEACE - exposed how large brands were using 'dirty' palm oil (thanks to this many brands are committed to not using dirty palm oil by 2030)
