Golbalization and Americanization

Today in class, Mr.Schick went over Globalization and Americanization. The definition of globalization is " the connection of different parts of the world." Globalization results in the expansion of international, cultural, economic, and political activities. We also talked about the life expectancy in China before the American fast food businesses came to China. China's life expectancy went down because the of the American Fast Food industry. Life expectancy is the average period a person or group may expect to live.Also we talked about cigarettes. Cigarettes are used way more in China then the U.S. Another main topic we talked about is the Silk Road.The Silk Road was a road(s) from China to trade silk with other people, countries, etc. Some forms of Globalization are the spread of religion, electricity, and languages. The last thing we talked about is that BCE is used now as Before Common Era.
