PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Chapter 39: Globalization
Society A.
They were rural- urban flows and this lead to major urbanization of the world. People were moving to the most urban areas like western and northern Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and temperate South America and North America.
Society B.
People move from place to place to avoid situations in the place they are residing in. This can include religious, economic and political reasons. In order to evade these situations, people move to find themselves a better style of living.
Society C.
Political instability can cause people to move to other places quite often. An example of when this occurred was when Korea split into North Korea and South Korea. Many people switched sides of the 38th parallel to join the policy they were in favor of- communism or democracy. Political instability also caused people to move during the time of Hitler’s rule in Berlin. Once again, people are trying to evade dangerous situations.
Urbanization A.
Bombay, Kinshasa, Nairobi, and in the barriadas/villas miserias of Lima, Mexico City, and Buenos Aires. Not only in these area, but also in Calcutta, and Cairo are a large part of this movement towards great urbanization.
Urbanization B.
Urbanization has been a challenging transformation for people who live in rural areas for a few reasons. The first reason is that there was limited access to supplies that would further urbanization due to the remote surroundings. The second reason is that farmers made their living off of their produce, and as the world became more urbanized, the demand began to change. In Latin America, Africa, and South Asia, many people have migrated to metropolitan areas to escape rural poverty; many people cram into small plots of land due to this increased urbanization.
Urbanization C.
Some of the challenges that cities like Bombay, Mexico City, and Buenos Aires face with having thousands of people crammed into a small area is that now they have to try to control fertility, housing is limited, there is a lot of poverty, and it is difficult to have enough jobs to support it’s people.
External Migration A.
The human landscape has been transformed through both voluntary and forced migrations. Many european immigrants colonized the Americas, Australia, the Oceania, and Asia rapidly. Slaves also contributed to the immigrants, and instead of have most of the World’s population concentrated in Europe, the human population was scattered across the World.
External Migration B.
Some of the ethnic minorities that were forced off their land were the African Slaves, Jews, and Muslims.
External Migration C.
Xenophobia is an intense fear of people from other countries. People with this have an irrational hatred to foreign people or ideas. This can produce violence as people who are ignorant to other cultures will use war to combat the foreign ideas. These people don’t understand how important it is to have many different cultures in a society.
