Globalization

If you look at the tag on your shirt, chances are you would see that it was made in a country other than the one in which you sit right now. What's more, before it reached your wardrobe, this shirt could have very well been made with Chinese cotton sewed by Thai hands, shipped across the Pacific on a French freighter crewed by Spaniards to a Los Angeles harbor. This international exchange is just one example of globalization, a process that has everything to do with geography.

Globalization !!!!!! Here’s a wonderful example. One of the medications I take fits the bill perfectly. One of the ingredients is made in Ireland, another is made in Switzerland, it is then shipped to Spain where it is formulated and then shipped to Whitehouse Station in New Jersey.
Interesting. The ingredients sure covered a lot of miles before the product finally gets to me.

The new quiz was great. I missed 2. Please keep them coming our way.
