Are McDonalds Taking over the World?

This afternoon we discussed globalization (the connection of different parts of the world. Globalization results in the expansion of international cultural, economic, and political activities.) We were able to use the example of McDonalds to get the idea across. McDonalds are basically on every corner! American fast food is spreading like wild fire through the world. There are McDonalds in India, Japan, China, England, Italy, and many other countries! Before we know it, McDonalds will cover the world! I hope it never gets to that point. You use to hear about how healthy the diet of the Chinese was and how their lifespan was so long, but ever since fast food industries invaded China, the life span is slowly decreasing. The world is changing, it always is, due to globalization. The big question is what will be the next big “Americanization?”
