3 Waves of Globalization: Silk Road, Age of Imperialism, Industrial Revolution
Silk Road: Linked Ancient Civilizations through trade. Allowed Cultural Exchange. Transmission of disease and occasional
conflicts. Started Imperialism and Colonization
Age of Imperialism: Through trade with Asia, Europe acquired the ability to start imperializing every continent of the world.
Imperialized for wealth(economic), power and nationalism(political), and spreading of culture(social). Columbian Exchange
Industrial Revolution: Shift in the way goods were produced. Largest period of imperialism and colonization ever seen.
Increased communication, transportation and production massively.
, Westernization: The spread of western ideas, values, and culture throughout the world, by political, economic, and pop
culture: Democracy, Capitalism, Pop Culture, Branding
Democracy Aspects: Rules of Law(No one is above the law), Free Press (media report on everything, keep the
country accountable), Peaceful transition of government through election.
Capitalism Aspects: Free Trade, Innovation, Low cost goods. Challenges include: Disparity, Exploitation,
Outsourcing, Greed.

cultures. Westernization also brings misuse of media, by falsely advertising, propaganda, and bias.
TNC’s are companies based out of one country, but manufacture and sell products in other countries.
TNC’s gain access to more markets, produce goods for cheapest labor, and produce with lowest taxes.
TNC’s have both benefits and challenges:
Benefits: Create jobs in developing countries, promote economic growth, and increase global competition, leading to
innovation and more goods.
Challenges: Exploit developing nations, take advantage of labor laws, low wages, and lack of regulation, outsourcing, and
encourage mass production of goods, which leads to increased waste and unsustainable use of resources.
Unit 2: Land, People, & Resources
What is Economics?
Fundamental Goal of every Economic System is Long Term Prosperity. Beliefs, values, & history affect the economic system
Scarcity is the most common problem.
4 Economic Questions: What to Produce? How to Produce it? How to distribute it? Who decides?(Answer These For Each of
The Following Economies)
What to Produce: Produce what is needed in society or what is wanted?
How to Produce: Create what is needed in the most efficient way, effective way, or environmentally friendly way?
How to Distribute: Equal distribution, or Supply and Demand?
Who Decides: Consumers or Government?
Global Economy is the sum of economic activity within and between different countries. Globalization has enabled

Mercantilism: Monarchy had ultimate control. Mercantilism(Planned Economy of Royals):
Mercantilism was used to accomplish 3 main goals. Glory, God, & Gold.
Glory: Find new lands and colonize them to show imperial power.
God: Spread the word of God to those deemed ‘Savages’
Gold: Primary economic gain to increase wealth.
Role of the colony was to serve the monarchy(Imperial Power). Seen as an essential supplier of materials to be
manufactured. Sold goods back to colonies for higher price(Exploited)
Imported for cheap and exported at a high price. (Hudson's Bay Company)
Positives of Mercantilism: Giant profits for Monarchies and Imperial Powers, promoted more trade between
colonies and monarchy, created jobs for colonial settlers.
