Free write: Globalization

I'm first questioning how these items got there. Where there sweat shops making those products? Or was it passed down donated goods? The way things are being passed around the whole world is pretty amazing. If these were donated goods I'm hoping these items were not purchased and only given to them. Regardless what the item said, it was good they had shoes, shirts, and shade. I think Americanization is a little different than globalization because Americans tend to buy things they do not need, causing Americanization.

Macdonaldization is the growth of fast food restaurants around the whole world. Influencing global commercialism and obesity. In the presentation today, Starbucks and McDonald were used as examples of these trends.

Pessimistic and Optimistic hyperglobalizers are the views of globalization. the optimist would obviously see the positive things about globalization

Critiquing a data article

- In this study there were 99 participants
-The section begins with a detailed description of the purpose of this research. Who will be in this research, details about the participants, and the theory of the results.
-It's pretty well organized. I understood the transition and understood why it was organized that way.
-The theme was do psychology classes have an impact on students dealing with social issues such as racism and homphobia.
-The study was based off of 3 phychology courses and the data was supported by the results.
-The high number of partisipants was what really stood out.

My progress

I have partisipants and already have scheduled interviews. This has been a little hard because I have no car and trying to do all of this with the little time I have. By Tuesday I will have some information, and be completly done by Thursday.

Sharing resumes

My partner's resume had a very good description of his skills and abilities. The position applying for was a probation officer. There were some good descriptions but I felt some of his experiences did not match what he was applying for. If there were more things that related to the position then he would have a better chance to get hired.
The descriptions were short and simple. Some may use their descriptions too much and the employer may get discuraged.
The only thing to improve is to make the resume more job-related.

To do with my major.

My major is under Communication. there is a huge list of things I can do with this major. I am currently majoring in Visual Communication meaning all the visuals in the paper/magazine/computer/ and even graphic novels. I am also part of the the media so this opens up more doors of opportunities.

Education Equality

On the first question, i didn't find the quote to be problematic. But if we really wanted to break it down, using the word "all" may be a problem. Because the word implies that all may want to be treated normally, but not all of them may have said it. Thus making this an assumption.
I think the tone is more concerned than angry. The author clearly shows interest in the topic and knowledge. There was the use of "I" a lot and adjectives showing concern on the topic.

Cambodia Trafficking

Damn. This was a very interesting story. Articles like these are complete eye-openers, it makes you truly appreciate what you have. After reading this article I began to think of my own life and thought of things people in the U.S. take for granted. Thus making this article more impacting. What if our government do these kinds of things behind closed doors? All he statistics the author used made this story more impacting and more disturbing. AH! when this kind of stuff happens in the U.S. it's a huge issue, but these lames are doing in under the government's knowledge! Very disgusting. The article also included some opinions, (or it sounded like opinions) and there was nothing wrong with that. Considering how insane the topic was, the touch of opinions are welcomed. These things need to be eliminated. The worst things in life should never exist, people need to have a conscious. :( its sad really.
