This link leads to a 50minute video on the good factors of globalisation in a general sense. It doesn't target any specific topic apart from the positivity of globalisation. I thought seen as most of the posts have been rather negative, i would give a balanced argument for globalisation and show its benifits.

A fairly simple, but good overview of how the media is manipulating public opinion to make globalisation happen. Without any questions, and if anything, public support.\

Globalisation is increasing exponentially and can perhaps be traced back to Homo Sapiens leaving their ancestral homeland in Africa and expanding across the globe.

This was a new phenomenon. Previously, humans had been insular, though with the emergence of Homo Sapiens from Africa, cultures began to spread and interbreeding began, arguably the first human act of globalisation.

I saw this poster and thought it was a interesting enough to share. It communicates how globalisation has unknowing taken over our everyday lives, even if we feel we have some individuality left. Soon, if not already this is how we will all begin to think and this poster illustrates this in a very simplistic way. - Ben

Globalisation Animation

This video shows the truths behind globalisation and why our world; is in the state it's in today. I feel the animation is a good way to aid our understanding of what globalisation is about, as the video maker is so direct and blunt in his/her approach. - Ben

The Corporation

The Corporation is a documentary by Mark Achbar, which examines the nature, evolution, impacts and future of the modern business corporation and the role it plays in society and our everyday lives. It's on youtube in 23 parts and is really useful in reference to big business owners and the impact of global businesses on the earth and people all over the world. - Claire
