Globalization

This chapter we talked about secondary sector jobs (the creation of a manufactured good from raw materials).  Today during class we looked at the creation of a "global sneaker".  Sneakers are created from a variety of materials and it is not just one area of the World that produces the entire product.  As time has passed, the creation of a product has become a global endeavor.  Check out this website on the creation of the various food products we enjoy on a daily basis and how the products come from all over the world.  Also, check out the videos below on the globalization and production of products.   You can also read this article on the cost of the ipad 2... what do you think about what it suggests?
