Preface to Discussion of Globalization:

As a part of my travels in Ecuador, studied globalization. The concept of globalization deals with the increasing inter-connectedness of our world. This connectedness includes economic, cultural, and social influences from America onto lesser developed countries. In America we all know that we get our resources from all over the world, but rarely consider the effects that this has on other countries and cultures. Ecuador, as well as many other countries, has been effected culturally and ecologically by globalization. My blog will tend to come back to this concept of globalization as I reflect and relate my travel experiences to the class, and as I recognize some  first-hand effects of euro-centralism in this small Latin American country.
