International Shipping

Something that sound as simple as shipping internationally, has changed radically since the early explorations and has gone through major changes the last decade and will continue to do so in the future.

Below is a small advertisement about how quickly International Shipping is processed in package delivery company UPS

    Jeffrey,
    You have been successful in designing your blog. Congratulations!
    Here is feedback to you on the theme “Globalization”

    Concerning task 1 which is ..:”Reflect on this quote: Globalization can ... be define as the intensification of worldwide social relations which link distant localities in such a way that local happenings are shaped by events occurring many miles away and vice versa.' (Anthony Giddens, former director of London School of Economics).

    You have started describing and reflecting on what globalization and professional change is, you need to go deeprer ...

    Concerning task 2 which is ..:”Write core concepts from this challenge with definitions” “ In this section you collect 3-7 core concepts from each challenge to form your personal glossary on globalization.

    FURTHERMORE, the section called ”Glossary” is designed for other words than the core concepts, that are new to you, and you yourself consider important to learn.


    As far as I can see you have not jet written core concepts and started your “Glossary”. Therefore I have a proposal to you: See Aimee Mcafee´s blog under "Globalization" and under "Glossary" for inspiration.

    Yours
