Ass#1
In this module, you will see real world examples that will help you understand theoretical concepts that you have learned from Sage’ assignment (e.g., globalization , glocalization) and other conceptual chapters, by seeing examples of those concepts in sport context. For instance, you will see the resistance of foreign players at the relegation of local players (i.e., glocalization).
