Globalization - it is a word we use all the time but rarely stop to think about what it actually means. Come explore the topic anthropologically, where we will consider what affects globalization has on society, culture, economics, politics, technology security, and more! We will also learn about glocalization - the way local places and cultures gain importance as exposure to global influences increase.
