Globalization Benchmark (Link & Reflection)
My keynote presentation can be downloaded here: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B-Wg_qvvaetUNmM0YjgzOTUtYzFhMS00ZWUxLWI5NzAtOGM4MzEzM2M4OTY3&hl=en_US
The most challenging part of the benchmark was relating some the Philadelphia-related photos to globalization. Some of the photos and scenarios in Philadelphia related to certain topics easily, but when you had to relate the photo and the topic to the entire world, that is where is got a little challenging. Sure enough, I successfully and accurately related the photos and topics to the world, but it took a lot of thought and research beforehand.
Luckily, I had several of photos I had all ready captured that were taken in Philadelphia, that related to the globalization topics. I only had to go out and actually capture a few other photos, but for the most part, I all ready captured photos before the project was assigned. I don't know if that was cheating or not, but the pictures that I have all ready taken, were very good photos, and clearly related to globalization. If I were to go out and search for new photos, I don't think the new photos would have matched up to the quality of my previously taken photos.
My favorite image is probably the photo of my cousin getting his first tattoo. The photo is very comical and entertaining, but it also relates to culture, and how body art has been a social norm in the United States, even though tattoos originated in other countries first.
The photos I captured are not that unique to Philadelphia. I am pretty sure I could capture these images in another city in the United States. Nonetheless, the photos still depict globalization.
