Maya Seymour had a typical day that illustrated how interconnected the global economy is. She woke up wearing clothes made from cotton grown in India and drank coffee beans from Brazil. Throughout her day, she interacted with products and services from around the world, from the laptop she used that contained parts from various countries to the food she ate that relied on agricultural imports. By following the connections in Maya's daily activities, the document showed how even everyday individual lives are touched by international trade and globalization.
