Episode 210 – 1900-Present: Globalization

This final episode discusses how the world experiences radical technological changes, especially in the way we communicate and consume information, every few years with effects that are constantly being understood bit by bit. We, as a global community, rely on both raw materials and finished products from individuals all over our planet. These technological developments and economic exchanges, paired with greater personal freedoms, have reshaped how we live inside and outside of our homes through a more globalized culture. World population continues to grow, reaching 8.1 billion by 2024. Increased consumption of resources, particularly fossil fuels, by our ever expanding population and global economy, has altered the global climate. This has resulted in more and more natural disasters, leading to new waves of migration, political turbulence, and cooperative efforts attempted at limiting human impact on the environment.
