Globalization

         Today in human geography, we covered globalization. Globalization, also known as “Americanization”, is the results of the expansion of international cultural, economic, and political activities. It has been around for many years just like civilization. Basically, we're trying to spread our culture everywhere. A lot of American exports are the cause of globalization. For example, McDonald's is a main one. There are now McDonald’s restaurants in places like Tokyo and China. This has a small bad effect on it though. Since these new fast food restaurants are starting over there, more and more people don’t have a sit down meal with their family. It is also causing people to gain weight because of eating the food so often. Africa is the only continent that is taking longer for globalization to really effect it. They don’t have cell phone towers and electricity for many things. If you’re lucky, you might be able to have a cell phone if you have service near your home. Globalization has helped our world become more universal.
