INFORMATION SHEET:
|
|
| |
GLOBALISATION affects YOU. It influences what foods you eat, which cars you own, which clothes you wear etc. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
It links you to people all over the world. When you make a decision, like what to buy, you can affect people thousands of miles away. |

The spread of NIKE is an example of globalisation in Fashion. Globalisation means the way companies, and ideas, and lifestyles, are spreading more and more easily around the world. |
|

| |
NIKE is a TRANSNATIONAL CORPORATION (or TNC). This means that it is a company with branches in many countries. |

Your Task: |
 |
|

1. Look at the information sheet on ‘JEANS: A GLOBAL ISSUE’ and use the section on COMPONENTS to annotate (label) the pair of jeans shown to show where the different parts of the jeans come from… remember not to cross the arrows. (you can copy and paste the picture of jeans into a word document or ppt slide or click here for a worksheet) |
|
| |
|
|
| |
2. Now use an atlas to find all the countries involved in making one pair of jeans. Colour and label that country on a world map. (click on this link for a copy or the map.)
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
3. Now analyse what the map shows you: is there a pattern to the distribution of these countries? Are they mainly MEDCs of LEDCs? |
