Global Culture

________________________________________________________________________________

In the last hundred years the world has become more global. Along with that both advantages and disadvantages come, but hopefully most advantages.

I think the biggest advantage when it comes to the global world probably would be trading. It gives a lot of opportunities to be able to trade with other countries. Over half the goods, merchandise and so on in Denmark is from other countries, witch I think is quite a bit. If we think about it, it actually would be quite a problem to run a country, make the everyday life as easy as now, if we couldn’t get anything from other places in the world. Most of our clothes are produced in China, fruit and vegetables are mostly from south European countries like Italy, Spain and France. Some might say that the world has become a smaller place, meaning that it gets easier to travel around, and get from one side of the world to another in less than 24 hours. That is a big advantage for multinational companies who have clients, meetings and branches all over the world. Also this could be a disadvantage if it gets to the point were all the people in the world become too much alike. If all human beings start wearing the same trainers, eat the same food, drink the same drinks and watch the same television… This is a big topic in the political world; they have to think about how this change affects the culture of individual countries, villages and towns, and how it makes a different in the everyday life for every citizen in the cities.
