“Made in China” was an assignment assigned to us by Mr. Rojo was to explore 50 items and see where they are made from, and see where the majority of items were made in and hypothesis based on the correlations. We investigated sports gear/sports item, Home furnishing, detergents/napkins/cleaners/paper products, Electronics, and clothing. We recorded what each item was, and where it was made from.
The majority of the items I had recorded were made in China. Although, most of the detergents/cleaners/napkins/paper products were made in the North American region. Majority of the clothing, electronics, home furnishing and sports gear were manufactured and imported from China to the United States. China had the majority of the items, but for clothing items it was spread out around the world. Most of the chemically made products such as detergents/cleaners were manufactured in the United States or shipped in from Mexico or Canada. Most of the chemically made products were probably made to prevent any disaster if the transportation went awry.
The majority of electronics, home furnishing, and sports items were made in China. However, not all of them were made in China. Electronics had been made in Taiwan, China, Mexico and the United States. Home Furnishing was imported from and made by China and Mexico. Sports items were made by China, Thailand, and America. Clothing was spread around the world ranging from China, Bangladesh, Jordan, El Salvador and Honduras, and the United States. Chemically made products such as detergents/cleaners and napkins/paper products were made in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
This is the effect of Spatial interaction, and globalization. With the advancement of transferability, we’re able to move items around freely and easier than before. As we advance more and more, we’ll be able to transfer items extremely fast. This is all due to globalization.
