My pre-writing is about why globalization globalization threatens the cultural rights and identities of less-powerful countries.
Globalization harms cultural traditions in some countries. For instance, when I go on vacation I expect to eat their country's food and not Americanized food. When people were telling me that they went to China and was excited to eat real Chinese food,but all they saw were fast food places such as McDonalds. People, such as myself, would like to experience their countries' culture background. The faster growing countries such as America and some parts of Europe globalize around the world making some Countries loose their identities. This hurts countries' economy as well. The less-powerful countries, mainly third-world countries, struggle with businesses and when globalization comes to their country it puts a negative affect on them. This will lead to more poverty and making the middle-class have an impact on the scale resulting to just have the higher and lower class. Globalization can have a positive effect and as well as a negative effect but personally it is not worth taking the risk for the people who do get a good thing out of it. Helping a bussiness globalize will leave a group of people with economical problems. The American media exposes their entertainment to countries such as Europe leaving culture industries out of business. Not only the business will fall but the culture will be lost as well. Globalization destroys certain cultures leaving them with American imperialism. For instance, the Canal Cafe in China is a historical place but the umbrellas in the cafe has an advertisement for the Budweiser. This destorys the historical feeling in the cafe. Historical places should be left alone so people can remember their culture. Globalization wont allow the future generations to know their heritage and have a feel for it.
