Description:
Before I went to school today I put on my Blundstone brand boots. Me wearing these boots wouldn't be possible without cultural and economic factors of globalization. Blundstone started out as a brand only sold in Australia and the brand is very specific to Australia, but due to demand in North America, they opened factories in Mexico to be able to reach the North American market but still keep manufacturing costs cheap. This is an example of a cultural factor of globalization because the Blundstone brand is no longer specific to Australia, it is also an economic factor because it is sold all around the world on a global scale.
