Notes:
- "Think global, act local"- there are problems effecting environment at large that can be fixed or helped by actions being taken in communities
- Geographers in today's society have revised this phrase and changed it to say "Think and act both global and local"
- "All scales from local to global are important in geography—the appropriate scale depends on the specific subject. Geography matters in the contemporary world because it can explain human actions at all scales, from local to global. At the national and international scales, geography is concerned with such questions as where the population is growing rapidly, where the followers of different religions live, and where corporations place factories. Geography also studies why these arrangements can cause problems."
- This means that the type of scale used in describing a location is really important because it helps puts the answers to questions in perspective in a number sense
- Globalization Scale- a force or process the involves the entire world and results in making something worldwide in scope
- Globalization- the scale of the world is shrinking—not literally in size, of course, but in the ability of a person, object, or idea to interact with a person, object, or idea in another place.
