"The Case for Contamination" Appiah

After reading Appiah's article I could not help but realize the effects of Globalization. Truth be told, I never really sat down and thought about the subject much until the article. It was not until after that I had realized how Globalization has caused International societies across the globe to establish a creative closeness.

Major Corporations were the first to come to my mind. In an attempt to make sure their "product" goes global, Corporations have gone multinational, setting up shop all over the world.

For example, McDonalds. A fast food chain that started in middle America some many years ago can now be seen all over the world. With certain tweaks and changes to the menu such as the Indian Maharaja Mac, which is a lamb or chicken substitute to the Big Mac. (Hindu people don't eat beef) or the option to have Beer with your meal in Germany. ''Micky D's'' is one of the largest fast food chains in the world. Along with products and economics, cultures are freely congregating and mixing ideas at a rate that has rapidly increased over recent years.

With a freedom to adapt and take in ideas from other countries and mix match what we already have, I feel that greater opportunities will present themselves in a world that was once upon a time, very Black and White, limiting individuals to what they could and could not do.
