Unit 9: Globalization

Hey everyone, we're going live today. I have a sweet kind of lens flare going on here, but everyone's been asking about Unit 9, and I'm going to try to figure this out. There we go. I just got lots of lens flares here. There we go. Good enough. Welcome, guys. I am just going to be chatting a little bit about Unit 9. Everyone's been asking about it, and I have zero time. 2020? 2021 am I right like I am just have no time left to edit a video or write anything um and so this is my live from my classroom like legit before people come today Monday morning it's the week of the test let's kind of whip through unit nine and just wait for this I made you know this these are my slides it's how low tech we're going today so we are going to whip through unit nine um I in And my... dreams. We'll see. I have a three-year-old, so like doing anything right now in this year, trying to get my own students ready for the AP exam, I have like zero time. And so this is my attempt to do this while I'm at school real quick, just to review this for my own students and whoever's out there that wants to review Unit 9. So we're going to whip through this again. I highly, highly recommend just going to what I call the purple binder for my students. It is the CED. It's a purple binder for us. You can easily just Google AP World CED and you will be able to kind of see what are the key things. And all these things you've seen like Heimler or Ben Freeman talk about this. Hi, everyone. You took the test already. I really do. So in here, if it's in this section, you have to know it. If in these ones, you just need to know some of them to answer whatever that is. So I would just check it out, especially for Unit 9 that I'm going to whip through today. So, Noah, way to be done. um, and get those in there. I really want to go live one more time. I have it like written in notes to go over the tests that was published for the free response part. So the SAQ and the DBQ and all that. So I plan on going live again sometime this week, um, just to go over maybe what you wrote for it. Uh, some people really on the other exam and I'm going to, I have to get into you tonight. Um, cause that's all I want to talk about. So you and I, I'll have another video Come back for that. Let's review real quick Unit 9 with my sweet, not very techie slides. What do you need to know for Unit 9? There's new technology. Like this stuff is like so obvious that you do not need to worry about a lot because it's going to be like stuff that you're like, oh, I don't know what to put for that. Well, it's like stuff you use every single day. So new technology. What ones do you need to know? Oh, radio, TV, cell, internet. Those are the ones that you have to know. Is this backwards for you guys? I don't know. Hopefully you can read it and it's not backwards. It's backwards for me, but either way, my low tech here. So those are things that you need to know and how that effectively like changed the world. It doesn't feel that life changing because we live in it. But as I told my students, I remember when the iPhone came out and I, oh good, it's not backwards. I remember what it was like. This sounds so silly. I promise I'm not that old. But when the iPhone came out and I could check the weather on my phone, that seems so silly. But just being able to go on the Internet on my phone compared to just texting, I remember when texting came out. All that to say, like those things change the world. It's just what you live in right now. So but anyways, new technology, these things, how they all change it as you kind of think throughout history. All of those are evidence. like it feels like it's not evidence because you're so used to giving like specific names and specific People, those are your names and people if you need to give examples of new technology. Next one, there's new energy, petroleum nuclear, which increases productivity and the amount of energy that's out there. Again, doesn't feel revolutionary, but is a huge big deal. Number three, green revolution. Everyone kind of forgets what the green revolution is. So I would make sure that you study at least what it is because it has appeared on the test in both multiple choice. It's been a whole day. But basically what it is, the very short version. is when we say green revolution, it's like growing stuff, like plants green, okay? And the idea that now we can use genetically modified organisms, GMOs, and pesticides and other things, and we can increase productivity of plants. And because we can do that, we have more food, because more food, api worldism, more people, okay? So that's what you need to know for that one. And life changer, vaccines. That should not be, we get it. We're in the middle of COVID age. Which leads us to the next one. Next slide. Disease. What do you need to know about disease? Okay, so if I were just to put this here. Number one. Diseases differ, minus COVID, we'll come back to that, based on what kind of country you live in. You're in the developed world and the kind of health issues that you run into basically have to do with longevity, meaning you're living longer and so you have different health problems because you're becoming older. And so heart disease, nice drawing. That's about the extent of my drawing, guys. I'm awful. And number two, Alzheimer's. So like the idea of like what happens. if you're, you know, older. If you live in other countries that are more developing and more in kind of poverty-stricken eras, you are going to be able to have different issues that you're running into, malaria, TB, cholera, etc. Now, everyone's dealing with COVID, but as we know with COVID, how it's impacting countries is very different. You look at India today, and there's like so much we could talk about this, and I'm not sure how much you have talked about it, but just kind of the idea of. Um, and more kind of, if we look at Africa, for example, I have a friend that was just in Africa, in Uganda. Um, and they had like serious lockdowns. Like we had lockdowns in the United States. Let's be honest. You were still in your car. You were still driving around. You just tried to be a lot round, like no people, but you still were out and about not in Uganda. Like that was not okay. And so like, they didn't have huge spreads because they could not handle it for sure. So it was like legit, more authoritarian. uh, lockdown. Thank you, Museveni. So, um, when you're looking at this and how like disease impacts countries based on if they're developed or developing, you have more access, um, to vaccines in the United States. Like we have so many vaccines available to us now, uh, as they're creating them and how much we bid for it. So like we have access, I have Canadian friends who are starting to get access, right? So capitalism, I tell you. So, um, hopefully Joseph, I hope hope this is helpful for you. We also, like legit, like full disclosure, I literally just assigned the anti-social studies videos, the three videos on UNI, and that was the extent of our UNI. So we take this test this week. I know there's other people out there, admin three, way to go for you guys. So those are the things, diseases and COVID, right? Next one, environmental issues, okay? So this stuff, like you've learned about this in science class, like it's part of this class, but environmental issues. We have deforestation. People are cutting down the trees, right? A little Lorax for you. Global warming. This is in the news all the time, right? And access to water is a big deal. Again, more developing countries, but just in the idea of like, do we have access to water? Are we having to pay for access to water? Why do some people have more than like, that's a big idea here. This is stuff you've learned about in other classes. So again, not rocket science, but there's environmental issues in the world. Next one. This is the one that everyone gets confused on. globalization. So what is globalization? First of all, when you think about globalization, it basically means that the world is becoming smaller or rather is more interconnected. It's the idea that right now someone could be watching this video from Japan right now. I don't know what time it is in Japan right now. Someone can look that up if they want to throw them chat. But when we're looking at this, we can be so connected. If we like go back, it's just so normal to us. so it doesn't feel so revolutionary but if we think back right uh let's just even talk like columbus hey mira um when we're looking at this we could be saying like if columbus wanted to talk back with the king of spain right he would write a letter right it would go across the ocean it would get there no no today globalization means that i could literally be doing this video going live on youtube and someone in japan could be watching my video right now at whatever time it is right like That's a globalized world. The world became smaller. It's more connected. Like that's the whole idea of globalization. Boom. Okay. So what does that mean? Here are the things you need to know. This is post cold war. We have an increase in free market economies, capitalism, like the world is more connected. We can buy goods from anywhere. You can like order something on wish and get it like in weeks and weeks and weeks from now, again, big things like Amazon. I just ordered. new shoes from Amazon, little New Balance athletic shoes. So I'm excited about that. That should be here in two days, right? Like that is globalization. That's free market economies. That is us being able to do that. And so that is what you need to know. Now, historically, you're looking for evidence when we're talking about free market economies. There's lots of examples. For my students, we probably didn't talk about him that much because we zoomed through this. But Reagan in the United States is a really good example of this. Margaret Thatcher in Great Britain and then Deng Xiaoping remember Deng Xiaoping uh leads china after mao zedong um it opens them up to the world economy globalization right like that is great evidence for you to use for this unit next one boom knowledge economies um knowledge economies basically is the opposite of the industrial revolution it's less about creating things but using your brain and computing and like the in kind of the intellectual side of your economy provides not just services, not just a service economy, like restaurants and other things, but you are providing and creating things from your brain. That's very confusing. But the bottom line is Finland, Japan, US are those types of economies as we're moving into this kind of world and moving past just manufacturing of goods. We still have a manufacturing that's huge in a lot of places. Especially like Vietnam and Mexico, like no joke. Didn't even plan this. Ready for this, guys? Give my classroom a move. This is my old Navy cardigan I wore here in Wisconsin. The current temperature is 64, it was 50, 64. So the cardigan is not needed, but no joke. If I look at my old Navy cardigan this morning, I need to show you my size. Ready for this? Made in, can you see this? You cannot see this. Made in. Vietnam. Like, no joke. Right in the purple binder, the CED, it mentions Vietnam, okay? So, check your clothes tags, see where clothes are made, but that's an example of manufacturing in other places and how we're globalized. And here I am in Wisconsin wearing a cardigan from Old Navy that was created and manufactured in Vietnam. So, that's a big deal. That's kind of like this idea of different manufacturing industries and how we're globalized, the keyword global, right? We're connected. The world is smaller, et cetera. So other things you should just know is like this one, I would maybe open up the CED, the course and exam description, and look on the side because on this one for this whole idea, I'll show you page 163. Like look at all these things that they say. These are all illustrative examples. There's a lot of them, but I would make sure that you could name some and understand some of them. Okay. Some of those are on my sheet already. Very fancy slide this morning. But you want to know multinational corporations, basically corporations that work in local nations, right? Multinational corporations. So Nestle, Nissan are some examples, but there's so many. Coca-Cola, etc. The other thing that you need to know in this one is like there are different trade organizations, what they call in the CED, economic institutions and regional trade agreements. NAFTA, North... American Free Trade Agreement with basically Canada, the United States, Mexico. Okay, so good morning all people just joining us. This is me just going live real quick on Unit 8 because everyone wants my Unit 8, or this is 9, Unit 9 video. Don't have one, so here it is. So check those things out. Those are things you want to do. Look at the CED for that. All right, next one. We're cruising along. Boom. Next thing you need to know, reform movements. If I could just talk on this for so long, I totally would. So there's a lot in the CED on the left side, too, for illustrative examples for this one. So maybe look at this page if you wanted to. Highly recommend the Heimler videos because you could just go to 9.5 and watch a video to go more in depth on this one. But the basic gist of this one is rights based discourse. You're going to hear that and you're like, no, I mean, but basically that people discourse are discussing what is going on and how we can give more rights to people. Rights based. Right. The idea that. around the world throughout all of history continuity guys if you have to remember continuities uh for the course always go with patriarchy patriarchy has been around from the beginning post moving from uh hunter gatherers but then patriarchy is a continuity for like anything so use that men have always had more rights than women but rights-based discourse is saying that people are asking for reforms um and they want right kind of women to have Feminism just means that women have equal. cool rights. I know. Revolutionary, right? Crazy. Like, I think it's always, I always, as a female, kind of think it's crazy when people are like, man, women couldn't do the same thing as men in jobs and stuff. I was like, that's so weird, right? So, I can do anything that they can do. Minus, here's my one disclaimer, minus, at least for me, like things like pull-ups. I don't think anyone does that for a living, though. So, anyways, back to this. The UDHR, I talk about this a lot in my other class, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. But basically, Eleanor Roosevelt, she's awesome, got together, worked with the United Nations and basically outlined all the major rights of the world that we should have. And so this discussion of like, this is kind of where we want. That's a great piece of evidence to talk about rights based discourse. Black Lives Matter. I mean. Unless you're living under the rock, a rock in the United States, like this is a big deal. It's a big deal globally because the world is globalized. So that's why we saw, right, the stuff that happened in the United States with George Floyd and the whole movement behind that. It happened then and moved to like Europe and people push back and want the same thing to happen. So rights based discourse, meaning that we are really fighting for equal rights in the world where we change the continuities we've seen in the past. OK, great. Other things, again, not revolutionary. That's why Unit 9 is not that hard. access to education politics and work meaning people all people not just men can vote suffrage that's that fancy word that if you don't know that sometimes you forget that is what it means suffrage means not suffering it means that you can vote um end of apartheid ah look at my decolonization video i have that on youtube and it will talk about how in south africa uh you are able to be able to uh end that and so i talk about the rises this in the decolonization video when South Africa became basically independent, part of the Commonwealth country, but either way, they became independent. And then we see that the, it's kind of like the Creoles in Latin America, but the people that gain power are people that were basically Europeans, were ancestors of Europeans. And then, you know, don't allow most of the population access to anything. Right. And so I go through this. I think it's always super interesting, but that's a good example of how that changes. We see the caste system also change in India. Civil Rights Act 1965 in the United States. Okay, let's throw these things around my room. Culture, this one's super easy as well. When we're looking at culture, it's basically culture has been globalized. Again, the world became smaller. And so because of social media, because of TV, because of the internet, because of things we talked about just before, culture moves and is easily kind of spread. I just think about how Coldplay, it has concerts all around the world. Right. And people know. their music k-pop right korean but then we also have heard it as well so those are just a few examples other like things i think it's funny i wrote k-pop on here uh the ced you know mentions reggae they're a little behind there uh but that still counts right uh bollywood sports i mean the big deal right now is the olympics that's gonna happen to tokyo the world cup how we all are able to like tune in and see this it's not like just something that happened in angie ancient greece like we could all be watching the olympics happen and all around the world like that's globalization of culture okay but not everyone this is my little disclaimer not everyone is a fan and so like in china they have their own social media not facebook right um and so we see that also we see the pushback and it's not really in this key concept but uh like kind of fundamentalist groups like isis like al-qaeda push back against this whole way of this culture that's kind of becoming and that's kind of like the pushback about globalization it's not that there's one culture that's dominant but like it seems as though the western culture is more dominant around the world and um fundamentalist groups are not a fan right okay i'm gonna get your question then last one this one's like the easiest thing it's like end of world war ii we create the united nations it's an institution it's listed not in this illustrative example something you need to know that the united nations was created so that we can have world peace, aka not another world war, and can work together when there's issues. Like today, right, it's the 17th of May 2021, we know that right now there is craziness going on in Israel and Palestine. And the United Nations is attempting to try to get a ceasefire so that they can talk about what's going on there. But right now it is brutal and sad and it's hard it's hard so But that is the United Nations getting together the Security Council to talk about those issues. And that's how that's created. So all that to say that is in a nutshell, unit nine, if you need to go more in depth on those things, if you're like, yep, some of those things that you said, don't even don't get don't understand. Again, Heimler's got them just go by like Heimler's history, 9.5 called for report 9.4 economics, sometimes I think 9.4, because it's a little bit of alphabet soup, meaning there's lots of acronyms for a lot of different organizations like the World Trade Organization. um, NAFTA, NATO, that's not gonna work, NATO's a military alliance, uh, we're, you know, all that stuff, you guys can look, um, and watch those videos there, also, totally recommend, also, around the world with Ben Freeman, so good as well, um, do I think the DBQ will be about Unit 9? Uh, they can use Unit 9, like, you, it says that the DBQ, I believe, can go through 2001, I think is the official for this. So it could be. Here's the thing about the DBQ in general though, and anything with Unit 9. Okay, well for the DBQ I'll say that. The DBQ Um, doesn't, even if you don't know a lot about the DBQ, you can write the DBQ because you've learned the skills of it. Um, and so that should go in another video when I go live for that one, because I think when I saw that the one from this year was on the Mexican revolution, 1910, 1920, I go, Oh my gosh, I barely covered that. But again, you can totally, no matter for the DBQ, um, I kind of do think it is one of the easier parts of the exam. If you learn how to do it, because you don't need a ton of outside information. Your documents can get you there. And if you just don't let yourself freak out because you're like, I don't know this topic, you can do it. We did a practice one in my class and I read it and I was like, what's going on here? I didn't teach on this topic. And again, they used to be more random topics like cricket. And you're like, I never taught on cricket. So all that to say, you can do the DBQ without having known the topic a lot. So don't freak out. When your mind gets you there and you see the TV. So that is unit nine really quickly. The live version. Someday I will edit a real one and maybe go a little more in depth. But, you know, time's up. Time's up. I don't have class yet. But so that is what is happening. And I wish you the best. Good luck. I am probably going to go live. So if you're not subscribed yet, you know, you can do that. I have people waving in the window. So this is what happens when you do this at school. So. But yeah, I'm going to go live again about that and talk more about DDQs and SAQs. So maybe today, maybe tomorrow. I know, that's the warning bell. I'm like, we've got school going on today. But I wanted to get this in so people that have been asking about you and I, and you have some basic things to look over, and then I'll direct you to other people that have longer videos. But you guys are going to do great. Don't worry because it's stuff that you probably have learned about. I will put a Quizlet deck below for this one so that you guys can just study some of the terms. Because if you know the terms and you understand what they are, You will be fine. All right. Good luck. I'll be back soon. But we have school and it's a school day. So we'll talk to you guys later.
