Introduction: How has Globalization affected our modern world? For negative or positive, people have been disagreeing with one another for a long time about this subject. Globalization has made us have more of a collective identity. For the better or the worse that is for you to decide.
1st paragraph: Globalization
How has globalization affected our world past, present and future?
Globalization started along time ago , there is no exact date but large travel started on the silk road when goods were transferred between India and England. This kind of travel and trade has effected the way we live today and might i add for the better. Now today i can sit on a couch that was made in China but assembled in Thailand while I am on a computer that was designed in Germany while I eat a banana from Guatemala. This is present day Globalization and it is making people all over the world more and more the same. How am I supposed to keep my culture and history when more and more globalization takes over. How long before we are all the same people, with the same culture, religion, and one human.
2nd paragraph: Sesame Street
TV programs have spread all over the world such as Sesame Street, Simpsons, and Family Guy. These TV shows are all created in the United States and these shows and ideas are being showed all over the world. North American ideology are being transported all over the world. Young children are slowly being brainwashed to think a certain way. Media convergence can affect large amounts of people, companies can send out mass advertisements in the form of magazines, TV commercials, poster, movies, and he internet. Websites such as Facebook and Twitter are also based out of the United States, large companies such as these can persuade people to think what they want.
3rd paragraph: Chiquita Bananas
When you go to a groceries store there will usually be three main brands of bananas. Most people wouldn't support large banana companies if they new the truth about them. Chiquita Bananas hire young children and they are usually payed a very small wage or no wage whatsoever. They also spray chemicals to protect the plants from insects even when there is workers in the field. If you go to a grocery store in Korea you will find one of the major three banana companies. These three companies control all off the market all over the world. this is bringing our world all closer together and a very similar identity.
