Historical Globalization

Part A; Reflection
-In this unit I learned that aboriginal people in Residential Schools many years ago tried to get an apology from Canadian government. The Canadian government was going to give the aboriginal people money but no amount of money could fix the pain they went through as a child or erase their memories of being sexual and emotionally abused. 
-I found it really interesting that it took the government so many years to finally apologize to aboriginal people or give them money. By the time the government had apologized more than half the people that lived through Residential Schools have died.
-I can connect what I have learned in class with expierences outsuide of school for example kids today still get sexually and emotionally abused.
-What surprised me in this unit the most was that sixty thousand aboriginals were effected by Residential Schools.
-One concept that I am having difficulty with is Cultural Contact I dont understand everything that happened.
-One skill or learning strategy I found useful was S.O.A.P.S. (Subject, Occasion, Audience, Purpose and Speaker) It helped me understand what happened, when it happened, how it happend and who was involved.

Part B; Early Economic Globalization
Mercantilism is a type of trade that was controlled by government to increase their wealth. Many merchants wanted freedom to make their own money. After Mercantilism came Capitalism which is also another trade that was not controlled by govenment and their was competition between the stores. After Capitalism there was Industrialization that was similar to Capitalism except their was raw materials from all around the world and sold in markets. Industrialization led to Imperialism, Imperialsim is when one nation takes over another nation for territory or raw materials.  
Part C; Impacts of Imperialism
This source the White Man's Burden tells us that motivation for Imperialism was similar to The Scramble of Africa. In both situations they civilized different colonies.

Part D; Legacy of Imperialism in Canada
The legacy Imperialism left in Canada made an impact on the country. For example Imperialism changed Canada's government and laws. This shows that changing Canada's government was a positive effect because there are many different resources from all over the world also people can make their own money. Another example is how one race was suprier than a different race. This shows that grouping different races was negaive becuase it caused conflict between other countries. Therefore the legaceys of Imperialism was a negative and positive effect on Canada.

Part E; Connection to Globalization
Globalization is a trend toward greater interconnectedness and interdependence of the world. The things we have learned in class relate to globalization for example Imperialism was when countries became independent which is part of the concept of globalization.

Imperialism:Brazil

In social-studies 10-2 we are working on a project about Imperialism in another country. I am researching about Brazil I learned that they eat trurtle and carve the shell into tools. Also that the countries around Brazil is Coloumbia, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina, Alantic and Pacific ocean.

Introductory assignment

Summary;
Recently in social class I have learned what Globalization is and the
eight different types. Globalization is a trend towards greater
interconnectedness and interdependence of the world.The
eight different types are Social, Political, Economic, Ecological, Financial,
Cultural, Geographical and Technological. The most interesting thing I
learned was that everyday everyone is involved in globalization for instance
 texting or being on twitter is an example of social. A way I have experienced
globalization in my life recently is been on twitter, texting and been on the internet.

Reflection;
I have completed every assignment in class so far, I don't always understand
everything that happens in class but i do my best to complete the work to my
best ability. Two things I would like to work on during the next few weeks to
help me improve. One pay attention more in class instead of dazing of into another
world and to get my work done in class instead of waisting class time. I believe
that meeting these two goals may improve my social studies mark.

Assignment;

This picture represents Technology Globalization because technology
in our world is increasing everyday. There are many things that are
operated by computers for example cashiers, elevators, doors and
many other things. This picture of a robot hand that is holding the
world which shows that technology has a huge impact on our world.
