A+Project+in+Globalization

This page will provide some examples of what to do for your project
====Start with a title page that outlines the information collected from the first row of your country research. Be sure to reflect on some of your findings. This will be much like an introduction. State the purpose of the pages you are creating and explain the sections that will help you do this. Consider what I have done below.====

Example: Canada is a country in the northern and western hemispheres of the world. It has a population of 33 million people and spans over 5000 km from the Pacific Ocean in the west to the Atlantic Ocean in the east. It is surrounded by only two other states. It shares a long border with the United States of America in the south, and in the North it spans all the way to the Arctic Circle where it borders with Russia and Greenland(Denmark) which is also nearby. The Google map below shows clearly the territory Canada spans. Its geographical position, its large size and plentiful resources, its relatively small population, and its history all play a part in defining Canada as a nation. As far as globalization is concerned, this wiki will show that Canada rates very high in all aspects when examining economic, political, social, and cultural data, and that globalization has had mostly positive, but some negative effects due from globalization. This page will also consider these effects, and it will also consider how the environment has been affected.

Given that much of Canada is so far north, a large portion of the country experiences cold weather for many months of the year. This means many things: resources are needed for energy, safe, warm and dry housing is important for people to live.

Other things that be interpreted from its location are that given it's large land mass, it probably has many resources that can be used to support its own economy. If it's population is not that large, then it can likely employ many people to work in industries, and since it is next to the US, it has a huge trading partner. The fact the it borders three oceans would also mean it can catch and sell many fish and it has ports to access markets both east and west of it's borders. I guess this would imply North too, as Russia is just over the top.

The effects of globalization on Canada will be examined further on other pages. These will include a section on: Politics, Economics, Social - Cultural Factors, and the Environment.

On each page, I will show evidence that to support the idea that globalization has had positive and negative effects on Canada.
