Key Concepts - Terms and Definitions

Globalization: To me, globalization means like worldwide and like it involves the majority of the world. Globalization actually means the world becoming interconnected by trade and culture exchange. An example of something that has affected us globally is COVID-19. It has spread rapidly around the world so it makes it a global issue. 🌍🌎🌏


Modernisation: To me, modernisation means like everything has become more advanced and like what we live in now is different to the society from like 50 years ago. Modernization actually means the transformation of a traditional society into a modern one. An example is that back in the day's phones had wires and you'd only use them for calls but in the modern world we have phones everywhere and they give off different uses.

Perspectives: To me perspectives is like having your own opinion on a given topic and that the opinions may differ from person to person. Perspectives actually means a particular attitude towards or way of regarding something. An example of a perspective is like elections because you may think one party is the obvious choice because you see that they can help change the society but someone else may think that a different party is the better option because they don't think things need to be changed.

Lockdown Holiday

Social Studies New Term Lockdown Paragraph:

Something I found interesting is that the roads are much quieter and probably how I see
people walking around the evening time. Something I found challenging is not being able
to see my family in Glen Innes because I am in Manukau staying with my dad(My parents
are together but mum looks after my nana). I do not like digital learning because I don’t
usually do homework and this feels like I’m doing homework. It is very different from what
I’m used to but also very alike because it just feels like the summer holidays except we can
’t go anywhere as a family and we have done more cooking because fast foods are closed.

Last Friday I saw an ambulance in the driveway of my next-door neighbours, however, I
don’t think it was that serious because no one was carried out on the stretcher. I find that
spending time with family is enjoyable because we get to watch movies together and
playing cards. I like playing Crash and P’s & A’s but we always the card game beanie (These are card games).
