Swine flu and Globalisation...

It occurred to me when watching the news that the spread of communicale disceases across the globe could be as a result of Globalisation. This is some of the reasoning behind this.





The outbreak started in Mexico and if people did not travel to Mexico on holiday then they would not be in contact with the discease. On return from holiday (the tourists original country) and if they have the disease they can then spread it to other people they come in contact with. Without the process of Globalisation then people would not be visiting different countries.



A map can be found from the BBC:
