The Globalization Website - Issues GLOBALIZATION ISSUES (back to list of issues) 1. What is globalization ? Globalization broadly refers to the expansion of global linkages, the organization of social life on a global scale, and the growth of a global consciousness, hence to the consolidation of world society. Such an ecumenical definition captures much of what the term commonly means, but its meaning is disputed. It encompasses several large processes; definitions differ in what they emphasize. The following definitions represent currently influential views: "[T]he inexorable integration of markets, nation-states, and technologies to a degree never witnessed before-in a way that is enabling individuals, corporations and nation-states to reach around the world farther, faster, deeper and cheaper than ever before . . . . the spread of free-market capitalism to virtually every country in the world " (T.L.

European discovery and the colonisation of Australia European mariners Francesco Bartolozzi (1727-1815), Captn. James Cook, F.R.S, 1784, print: stipple engraving. Image courtesy of the National Library of Australia. The first records of European mariners sailing into 'Australian' waters occurs around 1606, and includes their observations of the land known as Terra Australis Incognita (unknown southern land). Between 1606 and 1770, an estimated 54 European ships from a range of nations made contact. In 1770, Englishman Lieutenant James Cook charted the Australian east coast in his ship HM Barque Endeavour. This period of European exploration is reflected in the names of landmarks such as the Torres Strait, Arnhem Land, Dampier Sound, Tasmania, the Furneaux Islands, Cape Frecinyet and La Perouse.

The Shipbreakers - 60 Minutes The Australian gold rush JCF Johnson, A Game of Euchre, col. wood engraving, Australasian Sketcher Supplement [Melbourne], 25 December, 1876. Image courtesy of the National Library of Australia: nla.pic-an8927787. The gold rushes of the nineteenth century and the lives of those who worked the goldfields – known as 'diggers' – are etched into our national folklore. There is no doubt that the gold rushes had a huge effect on the Australian economy and our development as a nation. It is also true to say that those heady times had a profound impact on the national psyche. The camaraderie and 'mateship' that developed between diggers on the goldfields is still integral to how we – and others – perceive ourselves as Australians. Indeed, mateship and defiance of authority have been central to the way our history has been told. Even today, nothing evokes more widespread national pride than groups of irreverent Aussie 'blokes' beating the English at cricket, or any other sport for that matter! Gold frenzy Racism Vindication
Call me by my name: Stories from Calais and beyond | Migration Museum 26 April – 20 August 2017 | 11am– 5pm (Wednesday-Sunday, including bank holidays) | Free admissionMigration Museum at The Workshop 26 Lambeth High Street, London, SE1 7AG The refugee and migrant camp in Calais became a potent symbol of Europe’s migration ‘crisis’. But while it dominated headlines and polarised political debate, the lives and stories of individuals in the camp and on the move across Europe were often overlooked – and remain so to this day. Originally staged to critical acclaim in London in June 2016, four months before the demolition of the camp, this updated multimedia exhibition from the Migration Museum Project delves beneath the headlines to examine the complexity and humanity behind the Calais camp and the ongoing migration ‘crisis’. Join the conversation on Twitter using #CalaisStories. Please note that there is no step-free access to this exhibition.

Planet Money Makes A T-Shirt Why A T-Shirt? We wanted to see the hidden world behind clothes sold in this country, so we decided to make a T-shirt. We wanted to make an ordinary shirt like the vast majority of the shirts sold in this country — not organic cotton, not hand-sewn in the United States. To figure out how many shirts to make, and to raise money to pay for them, we turned to Kickstarter. (Thanks again to everyone who ordered a shirt. Why A Squirrel? The design on the shirt, a squirrel hoisting a martini glass, is a visual pun: a reference to the phrase “animal spirits” made famous by the economist John Maynard Keynes. As Planet Money’s David Kestenbaum put it recently: “Keynes’ idea was that there’s more to the markets than just numbers; there are people and emotions making decisions. 10 Reporters, 3 Continents, 1 Archipelago We flew drones over Mississippi.

Migration to Australia in the 1800s | State Library of NSW By the 1830s and 1840s Australia was receiving an increasing number of free settlers (as opposed to convicts) but there was still a huge labour shortage. People on farms needed labourers to clear the land, plant crops and take care of animals. The expanding settlement meant that convict labour was not sufficient. Employers were forced to increase the wages they offered to workers in order to compete for their labour. The preferred solution was to encourage more free settlers. The Australian colonial government decided that the best way to encourage migrants to come here was to pay for the tickets of eligible applicants. Often when migrants finally arrived here they were taken advantage of by people who would rob them or take their money on pretence of getting them accommodation or employment. In 1838 Caroline Chisholm arrived in New South Wales with her husband and children.

L’émigration britannique vers l’Australie dans le cadre de la ruée vers l’or dans la seconde moitié du XIXème siècle. - [HG/NC] Une proposition du groupe de réflexion et de production du lycée 2014. Cette fiche est une proposition d’activité en classe pour le niveau Seconde. Elle s’inscrit dans la partie adaptée du programme intitulée « La place des populations de l’Europe et de l’Océanie dans le peuplement de la Terre, dans laquelle il s’agit de montrer l’émigration d’Européens vers d’autres continents, au cours du XIXe siècle : une étude au choix d’une émigration de ce type (de préférence choisir une émigration vers l’Australie ou la Nouvelle-Zélande) ». I. La découverte de l’or en Australie suscite un nouvel intérêt de la métropole britannique pour sa colonie, l’espoir d’une vie meilleure pour les démunis et un afflux massif de migrants. Les inégalités sociales créées par le modèle industriel, les crises économiques et la famine, notamment celle de 1845-1849 en Irlande, la croissance démographique inégalement maîtrisée, contribuent à l’essor des flux de migrants vers l’Australie et la Nouvelle-Zélande.

UNESCO | Teaching and Learning for a Sustainable Future | Module 18: Globalisation Introduction If climate change is the key process in the natural world impacting on sustainable development, then globalisation is the parallel process in the human world, creating both opportunities for, and barriers to, sustainable development. Globalisation is the ongoing process that is linking people, neighbourhoods, cities, regions and countries much more closely together than they have ever been before. This has resulted in our lives being intertwined with people in all parts of the world via the food we eat, the clothing we wear, the music we listen to, the information we get and the ideas we hold. This interconnectedness amongst humans on the planet is sometimes also referred to as the ‘global village’ where the barriers of national and international boundaries become less relevant and the world, figuratively, a smaller place.
