Globalization - Data
Do you like to compile, organize, and analyze data? If so, this project might be for you.
Globalization occurs when countries of the world depend on one another for goods, services, and
knowledge. We wouldn’t have what we have today without other countries around the world.
Brainstorm 3 categories of goods, services, and/or knowledge that show globalization. Gather
data that is proof of globalization; use a lot of data (30-50 is suggested; more data means more
reliability in the conclusions you draw). After organizing the proof of globalization into
categories, analyze the information and see what conclusions you can draw from the data. You
will present all of this information in graphic form (using maps, graphs, charts, and/or pie
charts). You may want to consider using Excel to compile your data; the display can be a poster
board, in Word, PowerPoint, etc.
