  • Reread page 9 about the guy who works for The Home Depot and what he buys at the various stores.When you read this know who is the Consumer, what is a Transnational and what is Outsourcing (see page 10)
  • Tell me what you do that compares to the above scenario. Give me at least three daily things that you either do or purchase to prove your points.
  • Hip Hop/Rap your fabulous projects. Who did you do?Why did you choose that artist? What does this have to do with globalization and you ?
