This educational blog investigates the core aspects of a highly contradictory process of globalization and its multi-faceted impact on both global economy and an individual. The blog is aimed at the seniour students specialising in Economics who are already well aware of the basic notions and phenomena peculiar to the dynamics of the new world economy.

ReplyDeleteGood issue raised! As the cultural borders appear to be erased easily by globalization, food as an integral element of cultural background seems to be loosing its sugnificance and national identity! Good examples given in the video! Though, I should speak about positive impact of the process as it saved my life once preventing me from starvation. It happened in a wonderful city of Dusseldorf when my husband and I hungry and with little/ almost no knowledge of German managed to buy food by pronuncing the familiar to almost every person of the world names 'cheeseburger', 'Coca Cola', 'nuggets'. Yes, it was McDonald's It occured to me probably for the first time in my life that globalizaion is not as horrible as it is said. As you can get food in almost in any big city of the world despite not speaking some foreign languages due to that unified fast food model. As always, there is the other side of the coin)))
