2. The Challenges of Globalization
Information and facts from Mastering the TEKS in Geography, “Chapter 19: The Challenges of Globalization”, 2010:Jarrett Publishing Co. pp

3. Capital
Resources
Human Resources
Productive Resources
Entrepre-neurs
Natural Resources

4. Productive Resources
Natural Resources- materials from nature that people use to make goods
Examples: water, oil, cotton, lumber
Human Resources- the human labor required to produce something
Examples: highly skilled/educated workforce

5. Productive Resources Capital Resources- goods used to make other goods
Examples: machinery, tools, technology, transportation routes
Entrepreneurs- business owners or managers that bring together and organize all parts of resources and production
Examples: Graham Weston- Founder of Rackspace

6. HEI…
Physical geography often determines where productive resources are located.
Climate – influences the types of crops grown in a place
Examples: Cotton grows in places with long growing
seasons and adequate rainfall like in the southern U.S. and parts of India

7. HEI…
Natural resources – where minerals and raw materials are located affects location of economic activities
Examples:
Gold rush in US history
Fracking in Eagle Ford

8. Physical Geography
Natural transportation routes- rivers, lakes, oceans –affects the travel of goods and services.
Physical barriers – mountains, forests, deserts – can make it difficult or impossible to bring resources to consumers.
Flatlands, valleys, and rivers help to bring resources to consumers
Where are most of the major cities in Egypt located? (Near the Nile River & on the Mediterranean Sea & Red Sea) What type of climate does most of Egypt have? (Arid Desert) Why do you think the cities were built where they were? (water important to human survival, also to irrigate crops and establish trade routes)

9. HUMAN geography influences the location of economic activities…
Where people are located also affects economic activities
Population = workforce
Skilled or unskilled depending on need (PRIMARY, SECONDARY, or QUATERNARY Economic Activities!)
Services are located where consumers are found. (TERTIARY Economic Activities!)
Retail, schools, hospitals, etc.
Businesses closer to target consumers will often be more successful
Use this population map of Texas to guide a discussion with students: What do the reddest parts of the map represent? (cities – Dallas, Austin, Houston, San Antonio) ; What types of businesses and services are found in those areas? ; What do the greenest areas of the map represent? (rural areas – small towns, farms, ranches) ; If I wanted to open a new business, where would it be most successful? Why?

10. Human Geography Infrastructure:
This is a critical factor to the location of economic activities
Ex. roads, railroad tracks, factories, telephone & internet connections
Essential for transport of goods and services
Use the map to guide a discussion with the students about major cities of the US & location to infrastructure (Railroads). What are the railroads used for? (Transportation of goods & people) Where are the major cities located? (close to waterways, rivers, oceans, canals)

11. Process it…
How does physical & human geography influence the location of economic activities? Give specific examples for each….

12. What is globalization?
Globalization – the creation of a single global economy and community.
Easy exchange of goods, information, money and people from one part of the world to the other.

13. Globalization Today Benefits
Consumers can easily get goods and services from all around the world.
Greater connectivity
Skype, texting, internet
Information spreads quickly
Travel made easier and faster
Easier to learn about new cultures

14. Globalization Today Costs Loss of jobs in developed countries
Outsourcing - when companies hire other companies to do some of their work
Offshoring – when companies move operations to countries with lower labor costs
Ex. iPods produced in China
Loss of local traditions
Higher risk of pandemics
Increased pollution
Terrorism

15. Globalization is DRIVEN BY trade
Trade between regions has existed throughout history because there is an unequal distribution of resources around the world.
Trade – the exchange of goods and services
Specialization – each region of the world makes goods based on the resources it has available.
Middle East – petroleum/oil production
United States – service & information
industries (Apple, McDonald’s)
Japan – few natural resources but a lot
of industry (car production, electronics)

16. Globalization of FASt Food

17. Specialization and Trade
Because regions specialize they rarely produce everything they need.
They exchange these goods through trade.
Countries and regions export products they make and import products from others.

18. Specialization and Trade
Import – goods from foreign countries brought into a country for use or sale.
Ex. Clothing and electronics are imported from other countries into the US.
Export – Goods and services sold from one country to other countries
Ex. Japan exports cars and electronics to countries around the world.

19. specialization encourages trade
Japan
Saudi Arabia
Is an island with few natural resources
Needs oil to meet its energy needs (factories, electricity, automobiles, heating)
Abundance of oil
Lacks industry & production for other products.
Predict how these two countries will trade with each other?
Japan sells products such as electronics to Saudi Arabia.
With the money it receives from selling electronics, Japan can buy oil from Saudi Arabia.

20. global trade In the ancient world
Relied on rivers and waterways for trade.
Ancient Egypt –
Irrigation of Nile River
Surplus grain and minerals (gold) traded for:
olives and wine from Greece
spices and incense from Arabia
Roman Empire –
Control of Mediterranean Sea
olive oil, wine, wheat traded for:
Porcelain and silk from China
Cotton and spices from India

21. global trade Triangular Trade
Atlantic Trade:
Columbian Exchange & triangular trade routes
North American Colonies
England
Africa
Transfer of products promoted economic growth
European nations wealthy
Increased the standard of living in Europe with new goods
Led to wars
Spread of diseases
Interactive triangular trade map:

22. Process it…
What patterns can you see in the expansion of global trade?
How does global trade differ today from trade carried on in the past?

23. Globalization Today Causes:
Lowering of trade barriers (removing high tariffs or taxes on imported goods) by:
Rise of free trade associations
North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)
World Trade Organization (WTO)
European Union (EU)
Spread of new information technologies
Internet and telecommunications
Transportation improvements
Planes & high speed railroads make travel faster and easier
