Globalization and Trade

Global Supply Chain: covers all the steps involved in manufacturing and delivering a product or service when those steps take place in more than one country.

Container Ships: ship that carries all of its load in truck-size intermodal containers. There are 7 examples of these which are small feeder, feeder, feedermax, Panamax, Post-Panamax, New Panamax and ultra-large. I learned that these ships are really important as they are responsible of 90% of the worlds trade
Choke Points: straits or canals that see high volumes of traffic because of their optimal location. There are any examples of this but some of the most important ones include the strait of Hormuz, the Malaccan strait, the Suez canal, and the Panama canal.I learned that choke points are very important to the worlds trade as they are shortcuts or the only way to trade to other places in the world

capital/investment:
Capital: item generated by nature or people to aid in the production of other things required by humans to generate profit.

Losers from globalization there are many losers and these include workers, communities, citizens, and even governments. Examples of these are tax-payers amd workers who lose their jobs sometimes. I learned that there are a lot of losers from this
Exports: Sending goods or services to other countries. An example of this is the US exporting transportation equipment to Canada. I learned that refined petroleum is what the US exports the most of.

Ivory Coast and Chocolate: Farmers in the Ivory Coast in Africa grow Cocoa for the world.Their chocolate is really important and an example is that they provide 45% of the worlds chocolate. Even through all this I learned that the farmers get paid poorly with as little as $1 a day.
Fair Trade: Helps farmers get a reasonable payment for the goods they grew and sold. An example is farmers in Ivory coast that don't get paid fairly so this makes it so that they get get the payment that they deserve.

Urbanization
Absolute Advantage: the ability of an individual or group to carry out a particular economic activity more efficiently than another individual or group.
What I leaned: In the Cote D'ivoire, the country has a perfect climate conditions for Cocoa, meaning production of Cocoa is way better than any other country in the world. This makes the country produce 45% of Cocoa in the world
