Today in class, we learned about Globalization. Globalization is the connection of different parts of the world. Which results in the expansion of international, cultural, economic, and political activities. We then saw a picture of a a Chinese building, which had a KFC and McDonalds in it. In China the life expectancy is going down because of fast food restaurants and cigarettes. There are a lot more cigarettes being sold in China than America. Before fast food restaurants and cigarettes, China had a higher life expectancy.  We talked a little about BCE which is Before Common Era. We also talked about the silk road. The silk road is a road in China that people took to trade silk with other countries.
