Local scale = unique features Global scale = broad patterns
Globalization – Action or process that involves the entire world and result in making something worldwide in scope (scale of the world is shrinking) *interdependence *integrated◦ Economic◦ Cultural

McDonald's is seen as a part of most developed economies McDonald's is to close its business in Iceland because the
country's financial crisis has made it too expensive to operate its franchise.
The fast food giant said its three outlets in the country would shut - and that it had no plans to return.
Besides the economy, McDonald's blamed the "unique operational complexity" of doing business in an isolated nation with a population of just 300,000.
Iceland's first McDonald's restaurant opened in 1993. 'No sense‘ For a kilo of onion, imported from Germany, I'm
paying the equivalent of a bottle of good whisky

Why are people, objects and activities distributed the way that they are
When & Why vs. Where & Why

Arrangement of a feature in space Density: Frequency with which something
occurs ↑ pop. Doesn’t mean ↑ density NOT related to poverty

◦ Concentration: Extent of a feature’s spread over space Clustered vs. dispersed
◦ Pattern: Geometric arrangement of objects in space

Increased accessibility Estimated that no more than 10% of the
cultural items of any society are traceable to innovations created by its members & that 90% come through diffusion
We know more, faster Distance Decay – the farther away 2
things are, the less likely they will interact

Spread of a characteristic (originates at the ‘hearth’)
Relocation – physical movement of people *migration Religion (Christianity in NA) No increase in frequency
Expansion – movement of idea/innovation/trait (snowballing), Remains strongest in place of origin Hierarchal - Birkenstocks, Sushi (leapfrog) Contagious - Disease (wavelike, without regard) Stimulus – Hamburgers in India, Reindeer in Siberia,
