Scale


  • At a local scale, such as an urban neighborhood, geographers tend to see unique features. At the global scale, encompassing the entire world, geographers tend to see broad patterns. 
  • Think global, act local meant that the environment was being harmed by processes such as global warming that were global in scale, but it could be improved by actions, such as consuming less gasoline, that were local in scale
  • Think and act GLOBAL AND LOCAL is a better way to think
  • the scale depends on the situation
  • Globalization scale is very important 
  • globalization is a force or process that involves the entire world and results in making something worldwide in scope... means that the scale of he world is shrinking in the case of abilities of people and things
