In todays class Mr. Shick was not there. Our assignment was put on his blog. We were supposed to read the whole blog for the day and take notes and put down two definitions of globalization. At a local scale, such as an urban neighborhood, geographers tend to see unique features. At the global scale, encompassing the entire world, geographers tend to see broad patterns. If everyone in their local environment contributes to making their environment better then eventually the whole world will be flourishing. Geography matters in the contemporary world because it can explain human actions at all scales, from local to global. Globalization means that the scale of the world is shrinking, not physically but in ability. 
Globalization- 1.) the process by which businesses or other organizations develop international influence or start operating on an international scale.

2.) the act of globalizing, or extending to other or all parts of the world
