globalisation

Question 1

Economic globalisation:

Answer 1

• Where trade, production and consumption have become globalised.
• Many things consumed in the UK are produced and
  manufactured abroad due economic globalisation.
• These productions are often done through Transnational Corporations and companies that operate in multiple countries. An example of this is the company Shell.
• A result of this globalisation: a decline in manufacturing jobs over the years. This decrease is of because them have moving abroad to places such as China.
• Most UK jobs are now in the service and leisure sectors.

Question 2

increasing migration

Answer 2

• This is where more and more people are
  moving around the globe, making it part
  of globalisation.
• People move for many reasons:
  voluntary, for work/education, and
  unvoluntary, refuges from places of
  conflict/disaster/war.
• The result of increased immigration is
  the UK becoming much more multi-
  cultural society than it was in the 1950s.

Question 3

technological globalisation

Answer 3

• The establishment of ICT companies like Google and Apple is a part of economic globalisation.
• These institutions are now involved in writing curriculums and providing online materials/resources to governments around the world.
• This means that education is now shaped a lot more by Transnational Companies that it was before.
• The corporations make a profit from providing this service to the government.
