Globalization in Philadelphia-Emily Maggiano

​This is my benchmark

When working on this benchmark the thing that I found to be most challenging was finding and taking pictures that pertained to the topics that I wanted to focus on. Going around the city trying to find things that are all over the world and not just in Philly was probably the hardest thing for me to do.
When I ventured out to take pictures, I started at the places closest to school...like the flags on the parkway, Mütter Museum, Museum of Natural Sciences etc. After I got those I did some research and then headed to China Town, since I was able to get a lot of my pictures from there alone. Since I broke all my cameras I had to take most of the pictures with my phone and that made the process a lot more challenging then I thought it was going to be.
Out of all 10 pictures that I took, I think my favorite would have to be the flags on the parkway I think that the parkway flags came out really nice and it shows a lot about Philadelphia, not only did I get most of the flags in the picture but I also got William Penn. It was also the first picture and the first topic that I wrote my information on. So for those reasons, that is my favorite picture.
After being in this globalization class, I'm able to look at my different surroundings and see the evidence of globalization all around me. I'm sure there is a lot more places and things that have or show evidence of globalization, I just have to take my time and really look. But for just being one city, I think Philadelphia shows a lot of good effects and evidence of globalization.
