I agree with you, I personally found it difficult to know how to differentiate the number three, but I could recognize that although it is business, it is not economical.
ResponderEliminarI completely agree with you, the topic of globalization is very interesting, sharing our ideas and points of view make us think differently. The different types of globalization can be easy to identify if we relate it correctly.
ResponderEliminarI agree with point five being a cultural Force but i also think it's part economic, because if the trade if goods.
ResponderEliminarTotally agree, I think it can be both because once we know something new we want a part of it and I guess an example could be fashion trends.
EliminarI think the majority of us have the same opinion in every case. I’m glad we can all differentiate between the different types of globalization. Great job. :)
ResponderEliminarHello, we have the same answers and that's great, i think it's a really important topic. what do you think about we don't have Disneyland in Mexico?
ResponderEliminarI agree with your answers, I mean... I think some of the cases can be more than just 1 answer like the case of the parts of the cars because is somthing also informatve, so we can know from where is the car that we use you know, but I personally that everything is informativa and...(all of the other options) because there is where you realize that we live in a hyper globalized world.
