My Interpretation Essay

By Jake Williams 

Introduction : Globalization affects everybody's lives. Globalization is everywhere From this essay to the phone sitting on your desk, even your two year old child is effected by globalization. some people think globalization is destroying the world as we know it. Other people think Globalization is great . I agree that globalization is a good thing. But the technologies we make should never take enough of our life that they end up controlling us. Globalization seems to be taking what individual identity is left in this world. Children are being exposed too signs of globalization and change earlier and earlier. Even the food we eat everyday is a great example of globalization. Globalization has been known to be destroying the individual identities of everyone but is that really a bad thing? i believe that we are truly are becoming on nation and on identity all together 

 "Globalization affects us individually and collectively. Eventually, we will have less of an individual identity and a more collective identity will be reached. this will unite us all; One culture, one world." Is it really a bad thing to destroy culture? If we all had one culture and one religion that would prevent many wars and a lot of the violence in the modern world. But Our cultures are most of our identity, our religion the way we live what clothes we wear. I personally think that we should keep our own cultures but become closer to each other. Our cultures are becoming one. We are all beginning to gain the same culture, becoming closer and closer.

Do you understand "Rruga Sesam"? How about "Ulica Sezam"? Well I bet you would understand Sesame Street right? Well Rruga Sesam means sesame street in a another language. This is a great way for people to start bridging the language barrier. Sesame street has begun broadcasting in multiple languages all around the world. This shows main audience is children, it teaches them the alphabet, numbers, manners and much more but now it is moving all around the world teaching children everywhere. Sesame Street is based from an english culture and teaches children english cultures to children all over the world.  This is a form of globalization because it is making other cultures more and more like ours. Eventually the whole world will end up being one huge culture, not the many different ones we have today. Even children's television programs have signs of globalization in them. Did you know the food we eat does too?    

   Chiquita Bananas yummy! Did you know that the banana that might be on your kitchen counter right now may have been shipped from panama, Costa Rica or Honduras? And did you know that these bananas that seem fresh and new have been shipped for days? most of the food in your local grocery store has been shipped from places other than North America and have been shipped for days. This is a great display of globalization. Go to your fridge and look at the stickers on the food and then do a little bit of research and you may just find that your milk is from Mexico. think about the food that we make in Canada. Think of that cheese with the Canadian dairy symbol on it and now think of that cheese being shipped all over the world. The food we make and buy helps Globalize our world, everybody buys food which means there is always lots of cash flow through the food industry. food from other countries is taking money from our country. We are shipping food to other countries taking money from that country all of our economies are connected in one way or another and globalization is the main reason for that. This is a perfect example of how globalization is making us all the same. We all are getting the products from all over the world making our apparel the same, the food we eat the same and us the same.

Globalization has been seen as a great thing improving the overall quality of life for everyone. Globalization has also been seen a devil in sheep's clothing "it may look good but it will come back to get us later" as in if we let this happen to us it will destroy life for us. I think that globalization is a good thing for us but that we should always remember who. We are not who somebody on the other side of the world. We should help others but not forget about our neighbours and we should always stay united. Don't you agree?
