 * Today in class we were able to select our own 'focus unit'. **

**I selected unit 10.6 which was '**__Shelter in Kenya'__**. I did the 3 questions on understanding. This taught me that there are both developed cities in Kenya as well as developing cities, I also learnt that the developed city had access to a great education, safe shelter and fresh food and water as for the developing city had no access to education, safe shelter or fresh food and water. This is an example of the term an unequal world. -George**

I selected 10.3 __**'Access to food'**__. This taught me that many people in other countrys can not access nutritional food. Global orgainisations around the world are trying to prevent the hunger in these countrys. world vision and freedom from hunger are the two main global orgainisations that try to help people in need. War, countrys in debt and natural diasaters are also causing the hunger in these countrys. -Jack

28/7/2011 ﻿Globalisation & Culture Globalisation is sharing ideas and materials across the globe. Culture is about languages, beliefs, customs and traditions. These aspects of culture are being affected by the process of globalisation.

Standardisation﻿ is where everything is the same as everything else. Cultures, for example, indigenous people around the world have been changed by globalisation though expansion of technology, corporations and transport. We have seen some standardisation between cultures through the process of globalisation.

Mcdonaldisation is a process whereby cultures are taking on aspects of western cultures. Cultures are becoming more standardised through the process of 'Mcdonaldisation'.
