explain when you think globalization started as a process and why. You’ll also want to place globalization into historical context by situating it in relation to: 1) ancient empires; and/or 2) the period of European colonization; and/or 3) the industrial revolution and the rise of capitalism (discuss at least two of these). Explain how it is similar to but yet different from these previous phenomena. Next, choose two different examples or manifestations of globalization in the world today – Africa (Chpt 3); the Middle East (Chpt 4); Europe (Chpt 8); the Americas (Chpt 9) – and explain the benefits and disadvantages of globalization for the populations affected by these examples.
