Wear Am I Wearing By Kelsey Timmerman

Globalization refers to the development of an integrated world economy, exchange of cultural views, thoughts, and products (Wikipedia, 2013). Pologeorgis (2012) states that, essentially globalization began with the exploration and settlement of new lands. Communication and transportation advances have aided in this process.

Globalization is the process of integration arising from the interchange among people, ideas, and culture. Globalization shows that international trade between other countries has impacted the way the U.S is now. Most of the products we use today is made in other countries such as China, Indonesia, and South Korea. As beneficial it may sound to have products made cheap in other countries and sold in the United States at a much higher price. This is also known to have a problem to the factory workers.

Kelsey Timmerman isn’t just another activist who is trying to convince you to stop buying clothes from big companies who use sweat shops and chid laborers. He is giving you a perspective into the lives of those who work in these factories and how they function in their everyday lives. It was interesting to hear the different encounters that he had with these people. Timmerman presents us with the ongoing concern of are sweatshops and globalization good for the people who live in these countries or do they do more harm then good?

Kelsey Timmerman, from rural Ohio, is the author of the book Where Am I Wearing. The spark that influenced his interest in traveling to other countries was because of the pile of clothes on his floor. After Timmerman saw this, he looked at the tags on his clothes.

With the help of her new established friends, Teeny and Grouper, she believes that a change in her wardrobe will eliminate her image that was so haunting and discomforting in the past.

However, this does not happen so quickly. As tensions rise, Lindsey faces the complex nature of bullying, and experiences the ups and downs of life as a high school teen.

After reviewing my performance and the knowledge I gained during the making of my FOA, it has been made clear to me how important good representation of gender identification is in children's media and in all types of media in general. My group and I read and analyzed the children’s book “Jacob’s New Dress” by Sarah and Ian Hoffman. We thought that this would be a good story to share because it was written in a very simplistic way, enough to get a message through to young children about normalizing gender differences.

In Where Am I wearing, Kelsey travels to China to found out where his flip flops were made. He learned that flip flops are the footwear of choice in developing countries because they’re cheap and they’re repairable. Kelsey talked to a couple of the workers to try to get information, though he had to be careful on how he questioned their jobs so that he didn’t come off as being superior to them. Kelsey also made a statement that women lie about their shoe size. I thought that was funny because I never lied about my shoe size. I find that in part IV Kelsey learns a lot of facts about China that stands out. He learned some of the advantages that China had over other developing countries, such as having better roads, ports, resources, and a near

In where Am I Wearing, Kelsey summed up things that were happening in his life such as getting married, going on his honeymoon, going to Honduras, having a daughter and more. I definitely think that you see him grow up and transition from the beginning to end. Some things are questionable, like during the ceremony he was worried about the weather and his wife’s makeup and dress getting ruined. I thought that was cute and sweet, aside from the fact that he was thinking about his trips and other people during the ceremony. The honeymoon was definitely a surprise. I would’ve never thought that he would take his new bride to a garment factory. But I guess it’s okay being that years later they are still able to laugh and joke about it. I don’t want to go to a factory for my honeymoon, that’s for sure.
