chapter 24 pt 1

The very beginning of this chapter was very interesting and definitely caught my attention. It began about barbie and ken and the two dolls made Sara and Dara that described a completely differnet message that barbie and ken did. Sara and Dara were twins that wat were looking for their parents and helping eachother solve problems. It was weird to see the history book start this chapter off this way, it was something i was not expecting. These dolls were used to describe the growing integration of world economies and cultures which is predominitely what this chapter is about; Accelerating Global Interaction. Interactions between nations came to be inevitable around 1950s. Many people and countries viewed the world as a single market which was referred to as neoliberalism.  Reglobalization occurred after ww2. The chart on 728 was pretty cool becuase it showed some of the indicators of reglobalization. Some included telephone lines, mobile phones, internet, etc. The map on the next page looked pretty interesting but I was kinda unsure of what it really was showing. What is per capital income? The main purpose of the map was to show global inequality. I was shocked to read that there was a movement against globalization that started in 1990s. I like learning about more recent history. I was a baby during this time and I had no idea about the reglobalization period.
