Globalization And Vans
By Matt Schumacher
Globalization
Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology.
4 types of Globalization and Issues that Occur and Solutions that can be made
2. Environmental Globalization-There is a huge issue with this. With all the companies and factories in China, it creates extreme amounts of pollution. China has some of the worst pollution in the entire world in it's cities because of all the smog and waste created by the factories. One way to solve it is by recycling and creating more green and effective ways of producing goods and reducing pollution.
3. Cultural Globalization- Throughout the world, we all have different culturesd and customs. Such as America is very different from Japan, and Mexico is very different from Germany. But in a way, we are all very similar. As China is similar to Japan, and America is similar to Canada. But, it can be a problem. As the world becomes more intertwined and more globalized, it can start to destroy some countries customs and cultures. Although there is one way to solve this. When we become more and more global we can respect one another's culutre and be more open and accepting of them. For instance, an American company that has a factory in China must abide by China's customs.
4. Technological Globalization-Technology has made the world more globalized than anything. From inventions such as the computer, cell phone, internet, and evereything in between the world can share it's ideas, videos, posts, tweets, topics, and just about anything from anywhere in the world. But not all countries have a lot of acces to these things, many developing countries have little to none of these technologies, so many of the countrues are left behind in the developed worlds goal to become mor global. Although we can solve this problem. We can develop industry in those nations, and bring natuarl resources to them so these countries and they can become more global with the rest of the world.

While vans are made in China, the materials that the majority of Vans shoes are made out of, which is cotton canvas, the cotton is harvested in Texas and shipped to China. When the shoes are made, they are shipped to Santa Fe, New Mexico, to be distributed across the country.
