Prior to beginning your formal research on Globalisation, identify the items of clothing that your team are wearing that wer emade outside of Australia and the food you have eaten recently that comes from another culture. On a map of the world plot the countries that were identified through this process.

You should use a different color to clearly identify food you have eaten and the clothing you wear.

What does this map now tell us about the global influence on our everyday lives? Is there a region that has a greater influence than another?
