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

  • Опубликовано: 22 май 2024
  • 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 a t-shirt as it crisscrosses the world before coming to rest on your doorstep, and eventually in your dresser. 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.
    Chapters:
    Introduction: Globalization 00:00
    Globalized Trade 0:55
    The Journey of a T-Shirt 1:51
    Government Regulation of Free Trade 3:11

    An Open Letter to Cookie Monster 5:06
    The Effects of Global Capitalism 5:50
    Migration & Globalized Culture 7:04
    Why We Study History 9:08

      Funny how they always celebrate the replacement of western countries demographics by focusing on the "diverse culinary cuisine." It's the corporations that rule the world and are behind globalization for sustained profits in a debt based fiat currency system. We'll see how they handle the next global crash around 2025 and jobs are scarcer.

    Crash Course may be the greatest contribution to education! Why can't "education" realize this? After nearly a century of monochromatic handouts, boring lectures from teacher-centered classrooms and an attempt to transfer concepts that have little to no relevance to students...now we just "flip" it. Certainly it's now much more exciting to watch it all on your own time at home. I would much rather be watching Crash Course! Go John Green!

    I had no idea a t-shirt traveled so much, It's very weird how it gets shipped back and forth but ends up being cheaper than if it was all done in Canada.

    Thank you John Green, and everyone at Crash Course. I've enjoyed your entire World History lesson (except for the last episode) and can't wait to see the others. I must say, the end of this episode made me feel quite uplifted as both a human and a parent.Thank you for your optimism, even though there are many things currently happening that leave pause for concern. You really are changing both knowledge of world events AND perception. You guys are truly awesome!

Watching them is one of my favorite things to do to pass the time and I tell my family and friends about them too. You all absolutely rock, keep up the good work. That is all.

      Why are you thanking him for using a word that's not used by the majority American audience to describe what he was describing? Our most popular sport is football, so calling soccer football here is just confusing. Why do you want to use the confusing word over the non-confusing word?

    Great how you summarized such a broad and complex theme: globalization; it's a very good introduction to understand what it consists of and how it works. I also liked your repeated emphasis on the good effect of globalization, -despite of the many disastrous consequences-, it has also brought people out of poverty... 600 million?? interesting fact.

    These videos are amazing. Knowledge is spreading and people becoming more intelligent. 100 years just a very small sliver of the population could have been able to read this, on paper of course. There are cultural differences of course, but they are often highlighted while the similarities between us are too often ignored. Thanks for sharing.
