It examines topics such as the globalization index, time-space convergence, flows of people, money and information, as well as cultural diffusion and anti-globalization movements. The document also explores how global trends impact the local level through concepts like glocalization and the interplay between globalized and non-globalized societies.
IB Geography - Global Interactions - Glocalization
Globalization refers to the increasing interdependence of countries through cross-border transactions, capital flows, and technology diffusion. Glocalization emphasizes adapting global products and services to each local culture and market. For example, Taipei McDonald's sells shrimp burgers to appeal to local tastes. The level and rate of globalization adoption varies between places based on factors like economic development, market size, urban/rural contrasts, infrastructure, cultural acceptance, government policies, and local economic activity.

geographyalltheway.com - IB Geography - The Bradshaw Model
The document describes how characteristics of a river channel change from upstream to downstream. It explains that discharge, occupied channel width, channel depth, and average velocity all increase downstream as the drainage basin and input to the river increases. Channel depth and width increase to accommodate higher discharges. Average velocity increases downstream because the river becomes more efficient with less contact with its bed and banks, shown by a higher hydraulic radius and lower channel bed roughness.

geographyalltheway.com - Demographic Transition Model
The Demographic Transition Model describes 5 stages of demographic change that occur as countries develop economically from pre-industrial to industrialized societies. In the first two stages, birth and death rates are high due to lack of modern medicine and sanitation. In the third stage, death rates decline as living standards rise, while birth rates remain high. In the fourth stage, birth rates fall due to family planning and women's education. The final stage is characterized by low birth and death rates and a stable population.
geographyalltheway.com - IB Geography: Neo-Malthusian and anti-Malthusian
The document discusses two opposing views on the relationship between population growth and resource consumption:
1. Neo-Malthusians argue that population grows exponentially while resources increase arithmetically, eventually leading to overconsumption and collapse as advocated by Thomas Malthus, Paul Ehrlich, and the Club of Rome model.
2. Anti-Malthusians like Ester Boserup and Julian Simon believe that population pressure stimulates technological innovation and more efficient resource use, allowing food production and living standards to continue increasing indefinitely. They argue resources are not physically limited if old ones can be recycled and new alternatives developed.

Demographics of Japan Presentation
Japan's population is aging and declining, so the government is implementing policies and campaigns to encourage citizens to have more children. These include providing financial support for families with children through tax breaks and subsidies for health care, education, and paternity leave. Artificial insemination options are also being promoted as more affordable and accessible for couples struggling with fertility issues or who want children but lack a partner. Public messaging emphasizes that having children is now easier and more financially feasible due to these government programs.
Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Overview Presentation
The Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico 1,500 meters below the surface and 66 km off the coast of Louisiana, killing 11 workers. Over the next 36 hours, the rig burned and eventually sank, leaving a damaged wellhead that was leaking oil into the Gulf. For months, oil gushed from the wellhead at an estimated rate of up to 40,000 barrels per day, spreading across 1,500 square km of the Gulf and reaching the coasts of Louisiana, Florida, and elsewhere in the Gulf region due to ocean currents. The well was finally capped on July 15, over 80 days after the initial explosion.
IB Geography: Patterns and Change > Ravenstein's Laws
The document discusses several models of migration including Ravenstein's Laws and Lee's Migration Model. Ravenstein's Laws are a set of predictive statements about migration patterns in the UK in the 1880s, including that most migrants move short distances, people in rural areas migrate more than urban dwellers, and migration typically occurs in stages. Lee's Migration Model visually depicts the movement of people between locations and the impact of intervening obstacles.
