Globalization I - The Upside: Crash Course World History #41

[@chloepeifly]

That last thing he said struck fear into my heart help

[@lindalawrenceaustin]

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!

[@EliStettner]

WOO!

[@PewPew1234567]

This is probably the first crash course history video that has almost no hate in the comments. Interesting.

[@EnviedShadow]

It's eerie.

[@CyberDork34]

***** Because everybody (here at least) enjoys globalization and western culture. Anything else is considered backwards.

[@MrAnimebuster]

***** because globalization affect every human and CyberDork34 is not everyone who like globalization

[@JonatasAdoM]

+Mr.buster35 He was talking about those here. You might not like it but you can't argue it doesn't exist that's what he meant so per say

[@patrickmcgoohan115]

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.

Of course it is, in Canada they have regulations and give a living wage.

[@cain0089]

Stupid living wages, why don't they just let the people learn to love being poor?

[@CailoFilms]

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.

[@tinawinslow9175]

Who's here in 2020?! :D Still learning and still loving these videos John/Crash Course Team

[@gobeach81]

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!

[@djvillaluna7109]

In such a world, it's easy to feel that we are big and powerful, maybe even invincible. It's easy to feel that... and also dangerous. -John Green.

[@meer9159]

John Green and Tim Howard are the 2 Americans I know who called football football and not 'soccer'

[@HitodamaKyrie]

I'd call it football as well, but then everyone around me would think I was talking about handegg and I'd rather avoid that.

[@thedubstepdonut9284]

HitodamaKyrie wait foot ball is hand egg but I'm ready for a game of FOOTBALL and not what hand egg is

Why are you thanking him for using a word that's not used by the majority American audience to describe what he was describing? Our most popular sport is football, so calling soccer football here is just confusing. Why do you want to use the confusing word over the non-confusing word?

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.

That is a good point. About 3 hours for a shirt... It took about 29 hours just to sew the seams on a good sized viking tunic. And that does not include the months needed to grow the plant fiber, spinning the thread and weaving the thread into cloth. (About an elbow's length of cloth per day on some looms) Granted, those tunics would likely have been more comfortable and were designed to fit the people wearing them.

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.

[@MsHShuaib]

I think multi-lingualism is good. Studies show bilingual and multilingual people have faster reaction times and have more benefits as well. They also tend to be better at swicthing tasks and multi-tasking.

[@blodstainer]

Shuaib Hussain Studies that are drawing different non-relating subjects to non-relating conclusions are usually nefariously misleading

[@MsHShuaib]

Bloodstainer Not unless you can prove it. If they have established causation (I don't know if they have), then you have to prove that they are misleading.

[@blodstainer]

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.

[@SauceApple51]

Economic globalisation works when everyone plays by the rules. The market needs to be free, but also fair. China is 'stealing' US jobs because firms don't have to pay their employees much over there, so they all pack up and produce their product in China and then sell it back to the US. Trump wants to tariff these products as a way of stopping firms from leaving in the first place. This shouldn't have to happen. If China and everybody else played by the rules, then the global economy should sort itself out. China will still take some industries if they are better at it or can produce cheaper, but this also allows for the US and other countries to do the exact same. As long as every country plays fairly.

[@thr433]

well cost of living is also lower over there so what is a living wage in china isnt necessarily what is going to be a living wage in the America

[@SauceApple51]

Cost of living in China is only lower because they are used to buying so little because of how poor they are. Americans may buy $150 worth of food for a week and eat all of it (because they have that privilege) meanwhile Chinese may buy $20 worth of food and eat all of it and still survive. The cost of living should be the same for everyone because everyone should be living by the same standard.

[@ms9592]

+PsyX99 how do poor counties live longer?

[@masterchief3007]

That is categorically false. Trade by nature benefits both parties involved, otherwise it would not happen. Specialization due to trade bolsters global and local economic efficiency, allowing a greater total worldwide product. Consumers lose purchasing power in exporting countries, and producers lose profit in importing countries, but as long as the trade remains roughly symmetrical (one side does not experience heavy taxes that the other does not), both countries experience significant surplus overall.
