This is a very interesting article. I know it's about McDonalds and lots of people don't care for McDonalds. However, it is a good explanation of how TNCs go about adapting their products to fit in to a new market with a very different culture. This is a really good example to use to explain the differences between globalisation and glocalisation.

This report was simultaneously released in Myanmar, Singapore & Australia. A quick look the website showed a lot of information and resources that will be very useful for teaching IB/IGCSE Geography, IB Environmental Systems & Societies & IGCSE Environmental Management. I am looking forward to having a more in depth look at the website over the holidays.

Big ideas are destroying international development.

This is really interesting article. It would seem that international aid is similar to education in that it is trying to find the 'one big idea' that will solve everything. It's just not going to happen like that. People don't need to think outside the box so much as work with what is in the box already. The big dreams are important as an ultimate goal, but we need to understand that to reach that ultimate goal is going to take time. And that's ok as long as there work being done to get there.
