Globalization


What is globalization? How does it impact our everyday lives?
Well, to start off, globalization describes the process by which regional economies, societies, and cultures have become integrated through a global network of political ideas through communication, transportation, and trade. Thank you Wiki! In other words, without globalization, we would not have Big Macs. Now I know you guys love McDonalds. I love the dollar menu! Okay, sorry back on topic.
Globalization affects our everyday lives in many ways. From the clothes we wear down to the food we eat, everything has something to do with globalization. Our clothes are not all made the USA. In fact, mostly everything is made from China. Go China! Also, the clothes we eat are influenced from around the country. Other nations mix their recipe with others or just share their own. Without globalization, you guys wouldn’t be eating that amazing Chinese carry out on the weekends.
The USA is based off globalization itself. Different cultures mingle together creating a new one. We even have the first black president. Do not work folks; soon you will be calling me Mr. President. The USA is where globalization shows the most because people from all over the world gather together. Religions also play a major role in globalization. In the USA, we have the freedom to choose our own religion unlike other countries where one is forced to follow a certain view in life.
Overall, I believe globalization is a good thing for everyone; living in America at least. Because I know that Americans take advantage of the poor Asians over at the eastside. Oh wells, sucks to be them.
