| Notes | We are increasingly interconnected: American teenagers wearing sneakers made in China, South Americans watching U.S. television, the Internet flashing messages across continents. But this is only a partial view. We are all connected, but in very unequal ways - in ways that pose a threat to the health of the planet. Through role plays, interviews, poems, stories, background readings, cartoons, and hands-on teaching activities, Rethinking Globalization offers a memorable introduction to the forces that are shaping the future of the world. Chapters cover the history of globalization, sweatshops, child labour, food, and the environment.
