Brief history of society and the globalisation happening in the modern era.

1. Globalisation
Daniel Crothers

2. Early farming leads to people settling with each other.
Owners of the food had power.

3. Gatherings of people near rivers lead to societies being formed.
People with more specialisations such as crafting clothing, tools and
weapons, building houses and other buildings traded for food.

4. Discovery of new continent and countries opened the world to
new trading routes, resources and religion.

5. The western world and what its context meant were originally
geographical and have early roots in Greco-Roman civilisation
in Europe.

6. The modern sense of the term came after World War 2,
after a plan by the world leaders was created to break
down the borders for fostering trade relations

7. Western countries are considered to share certain fundamental political
ideologies
The west is also interchangeable with the terms “first world” and
“developed countries”.

8. Globalisation refers to the distribution of the distribution of the
production of goods and services through the reduction of
international trade barriers.
Creates competition in the market.
Allows for cheaper consumer products.
It has the potential to reduce poverty in developing countries.

9. Globalisation could also be perpetuating inequality rather reducing.
Cultural globalisation is the standardisation of cultural expressions
around the world. This is also known as homogenisation.
The increasingly faster exchange of ideas is that there could also
be a loss of culture and traditions.

10. America is the top producer of the majority of popular culture goods.
TV shows, movies, music, clothing, fast food among other
entertainment and consumer goods.
