Gloabalization

When an inferior country tries to pierce the global market they have a lot more hardships to face. “They fear a trial-and-error encounter with globalization because they fear that everything will end up as an error and with their country overwhelmed, so they just bring down the veil over a whole country” (Freedman, 1999, p. 296).

Through out history cultures have introduced new ideas and foods to each other. They would take these new concepts and blend them into their own culture but still keep their original customs. This is no longer happening due to globalization.

This is how citizens loose their appeal for their native food. They’ve been eating their original for years so they figure the change is great. But they don’t stop to realize the impact this while have on the younger generations style of eating. They will be less likely to eat their native foods and will more often eat unhealthy at places like KFC. Another problem is that many people aren’t used to the greasy diet that fast food restaurants produce. This can be very unhealthy for these people. Their stomachs might not be used to the additives that are often in fast food. They don’t seem to understand that by allowing globalization to continue, it will ravish their heritage possibly cause them to lose their identity and culture. Globalization hasn’t just been diminishing people’s customs and culture; it has also been exploiting poor workers who don’t have the education to get a good job.

When a country decides to globalize, they first have to find a product that they can make a profit off and successfully export it to other countries. This can be extremely difficult for many countries
