    Directions: Each scenario shows globalization in a different form.

    Within your group, discuss


    each scenario. Decide if globalization is positive or negative in each respective scenario. You
    can say “it depends” if you believe it is a bit of both. You must justify your answers.

    Scenario A: In your local town, one of the main sources of employment for three generations has
    been “The Cannery”. The company has recently decided to close the factory and outsource the
    canning of fruit to another country where labor and fruit are cheaper.

    Scenario B: Your friend's band has really taken off on YouTube and people from places as far as
    Jamaica and Austrailia are downloading it.

    Scenario C: You meet someone really nice while you're on holiday in Bali and can now keep in
    touch via Skype.

    Scenario D: The shoes that you really like are much cheaper via an online shop in America.

    Scenario E: The American Government is being pressured to increase sales tax on the price of
    foreign goods by 10% by the year 2021.

    Scenario F: The company that your father works for has recently been taken over by a trans-
    national corporation with job opportunities in many parts of the world if he is prepared to
    move/relocate.

    Scenario G: A representative from World Wildlife Fund invites students to become involved in and
    advocate to help secure the future of white rhinos.

    Scenario H: Your mother's investment fund has been negatively affected by the global financial
    crisis, and she is worried that she won't have enough money when she retires.
