        To successfully complete this assignment you are required to:

                   (2) View the YOU TUBE programs posted on B “Dirty Little Secrets” and “

Which region or countries were most significant in your globalization experience during the week? What patterns did you see in the sources of supplies (for example, technology from Japan or fruits from Central America)?  What did you learn about  about the difficulties with performing a globalization inventory? On balance, who do you think benefits most from globalization, taking into account the You Tube video reports? How difficult would it be for you to “deglobalize”, if you wanted to
