Globalization I - The Upside: Crash Course World History #41

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

In which John Green teaches you about globalization, a subject so epic, so, um, global, it requires two videos. In this video, John follows the surprisingly complex path of t-shirt as it criss-crosses the world before coming to rest on your doorstep, and eventually in your dresser. (Unless you're one of those people who never puts their laundry away and lives out of a laundry basket. If that's the case, shame on you) Anyway, the story of the t-shirt and its manufacture in far-flung places like China, Guatemala, and India is a microcosm of what's going on in the global economy. Globalization is a bit of a mixed bag, and there have definitely been winners and losers along the way. In this episode John will talk about some of the benefits that have come along with it. Next week, he'll get into some of the less-positive side effects of globalization. Also, you should turn on the captions. Thanks to Destin from Smarter Every Day for the cotton footage!

Hi I really liked your commentary on globalization until you visibly got super-excited about being imagined or dressed in Liverpool jersey. As a Chelsea fan, I would like to remind you that Chelsea has contributed far more to the phenomenon of globalization than Liverpool -- by having had players from almost 100 countries globally in the last 50 years.
