Globalization I - The Upside: Crash Course World History #41
In which John Green teaches you about globalization, a subject so epic, so, um, global, it requires two videos. In this video, John follows the surprisingly complex path of a t-shirt as it crisscrosses the world before coming to rest on your doorstep, and eventually in your dresser. The story of the t-shirt and its manufacture in far-flung places like China, Guatemala, and India is a microcosm of what's going on in the global economy. Globalization is a bit of a mixed bag, and there have definitely been winners and losers along the way. In this episode, John will talk about some of the benefits that have come along with it. Next week, he'll get into some of the less-positive side effects of globalization.

Funny how they always celebrate the replacement of western countries demographics by focusing on the "diverse culinary cuisine." It's the corporations that rule the world and are behind globalization for sustained profits in a debt based fiat currency system. We'll see how they handle the next global crash around 2025 and jobs are scarcer.
Crash Course may be the greatest contribution to education! Why can't "education" realize this? After nearly a century of monochromatic handouts, boring lectures from teacher-centered classrooms and an attempt to transfer concepts that have little to no relevance to students...now we just "flip" it. Certainly it's now much more exciting to watch it all on your own time at home. I would much rather be watching Crash Course! Go John Green!

I don't normally comment, but I watch a ton of your groups' videos (other channels as well) and I just have to sincerely ask that you keep doing what you're doing. Watching them is one of my favorite things to do to pass the time and I tell my family and friends about them too. You all absolutely rock, keep up the good work. That is all.

Thank you John Green, and everyone at Crash Course. I've enjoyed your entire World History lesson (except for the last episode) and can't wait to see the others. I must say, the end of this episode made me feel quite uplifted as both a human and a parent.Thank you for your optimism, even though there are many things currently happening that leave pause for concern. You really are changing both knowledge of world events AND perception. You guys are truly awesome!

Who's here in 2020?! :D Still learning and still loving these videos John/Crash Course Team
My Honours World History class has watched your videos at the end of the year as a recap of everything we have learned. These videos have been incredibly concise and helpful to studying for our final. They are funny and interesting, but still teach us so much in the span of around 10 minutes. We have loved it!! Thank you so much!!
MOAR WORLD HISTORY CRASH COURSE I love this series. Watching for fun and to enlighten myself. Never stop.(well take breaks...but ya)
I just want you to know that I chose your videos Globalization I & II for my Grade 11 Social Justice project because you did such a good job explaining the global economy and you're just a funny guy in general. Keep on keepin' on.
Fast paced, up beat, and light hearted throughout. Then super somber and ominous at the end. Bravo John Geene
Probably one of the best Crash Courses I've ever seen. :) John, I loved your intake on the importance of history at the end. And I love you.
Nice to know about globalization..it is actually a great way to know how a particalar product is manufactured in different countries..and also the increase in technology has brought the price reduction of transport,connectivity with loved ones and also greater opportunities in developed countries.
This is a brilliant video. First "CrashCourse" I have seen. Brilliant.
Last minute studying before the AP world exam tomorrow!
Thank you for these videos CrashCourse ! My AP test is tomorrow and these were the perfect tools to assist with my late night cramming!
Great how you summarized such a broad and complex theme: globalization; it's a very good introduction to understand what it consists of and how it works. I also liked your repeated emphasis on the good effect of globalization, -despite of the many disastrous consequences-, it has also brought people out of poverty... 600 million?? interesting fact.
You are so awesome Mr. Green! Thanks to you and your team for making these videos.
Amazing episode! Felt heartfelt and more improvised and off script, good doings John. :D
That liverpool joke destroyed my heart
Thank you for this! I have a debate tournament in a week, and you've basically provided me with all of my evidence.
Omg!! After this video I love this channel even more. Youll never walk alone!!!!
I'm finally finishing this crash course, took my time to read and listen to podcasts about certain topics. The fact that you're a red just brought everything home. YNWA
Your channel is really helpful! thanks a ton :)
Props on the perfect quotation of George Orwell, "A Brave New World"
i love the words you are saying! none of them mean anything to me but you’re saying something!
These videos are amazing. Knowledge is spreading and people becoming more intelligent. 100 years just a very small sliver of the population could have been able to read this, on paper of course. There are cultural differences of course, but they are often highlighted while the similarities between us are too often ignored. Thanks for sharing.
Ohh nooo!!! It's almost ending!!! I have been watching the World History series for a couple of weeks and I love it!!! Good thing crash course has more videos!! Thanks Thought Bubble for being so entertaining as well as you John Green!
Very good Crash Course episode. This one and part 2 should be required viewing for everyone voting in the 2016 Presidential Election. Maybe learning something about Globalization will help American voters choose wisely in November...Maybe.
Just found this channel yesterday. I’m just trying to broaden my horizons by learning about the past.
Amazing video - so well made and informative. Helping me with geography study. So pleased to have found your channel - you've got another subscriber. Thanks
Damn, he said football! I'm proud
This video is brilliant and so relevant to geography! Thank you!
Dude you are officially a legend for the whole LFC part, YNWA!! made revision slightly more bareable.

The very entry to this video made me shout yaaas Your researchers are incredible and do a brilliant job. You present incredibly up to date academic information in a very very accessible format. It's brilliant. (The world banks definition is very very warped though and I'd love to see some more criticism of these institutions)
Watched this in school. You're awesome.
This would really help me study for my tests~ My real life teacher teaches so fast, I can barely take down any notes. Oh yeah, mini Philippine flag in Canada... :D Yay.
love the Futurama ship in the little bubble when you're talking about traveling and shipping :)
i think he touched on quite a few key problems with globalisation. helpful for a level geography too.
If I get a 5 on the AP test I will buy all of John Green's books 5 times each.
This is really pretty awesome! We have been studying globalization in my history class, and it has seemed like a very bad thing (we have looked at the views of developing countries), but there is also tons of upside to it also!
this was really helpful for me, now that were having are research, thank you so much!!, its a good help
helping sooo much with my world regional geography assignment! thanks!
even tho this video is v old by now is still like to address the opinion that John's cadence and time during the open letter makes it feel almost like he's roasting cookie monster. And it is awesome
Thank u for saying football instead of soccer
I teach Grade 7 Social Studies and I played this for my class and they loved it! All I had to do was turn the closed captioning on and play the video at 75% speed and it was great! Thanks so much
such a great video, thanks John!!

As a Scandinavian I can say that yes America we see everything you do and you affect us deeply on a personal level. Yet we are powerless to affect you in any way. It's really frustrating.
Thanks, for the great analysis!
I love the ending. Wise words.
As someone who doesn't speak English as a first language and live in Europe, I can only say that the fewer languages we as a species speak is only good. Communication is vital and we're advanced enough for the time being to preserve languages as cultural historical pieces to be researched and analyze. Whether the world will be speaking English or Chinese in another 150-years or so is only a good thing.

Shuaib Hussain Except there is no proof any studies have been made in the first place. He did not credit any sources, or references pointing towards either the investigation or the study itself. Just stating Studies shows will not make it true, and in most cases multilingual people don't define themselves via their experience in several languages, every European except for the native English speaker should in theory be multilingual and I doubt that would make the brits have among the worse multi-tasking capabilities... I'd say that award goes to the Germans who lost two world war on two fronts in succession. Now that's bad multi-tasking :P Jokes aside, I would like to examine the study and the reason I doubt it is because reaction time is a skill just like any other (with some biological advantage-points,) and like any other skill it can be trained. If you want to learn how to swim you swim, you don't eat fish, just because good swimmer generally eat fish doesn't link the two together, and just like people with god reaction time got good reaction time from practice, they did not learn it by speaking a second language.
