Maps and Globes • As a group, generate as many written examples as you can of the similarities and differences between maps and globes.
What can we see from looking at these examples? • There are more examples of differences than of similarities. • You have to turn a globe to see what’s on the other side. • Maps allow us to create boundaries; but with a globe we see the whole world.
What can we learn about globalization from this exercise? • There are two ways of looking at things; detail (how they are the same and different) and meaning (what these examples show us). • When we look on the other side of the world, we see new perspectives. • Focus on differences alone makes the differences primary in importance when they may not be. Recognize that both similarities and differences are found worldwide. • As business people, we are part of an interconnected world so we have to learn to live with and appreciate those interconnections. • We will be most effective and have most information when we use all tools before us, e.g., maps and globes, perspectives other than our own.
