Typical

 After considering my life events and daily choices I would have to say that globalization has impacted my life in a very positive manner.  I eat foods grown in a variety of different countries,  I listen to bands from Europe, enjoy friends speaking in different languages, and have dated boys who were not at all American.  Also, I myself have gotten to travel over parts of Europe and had the opportunity to enjoy the many different cultures and learned how others lived.  Globalization isn't something that I have thought about on a daily basis but it is something I really have gotten to enjoy and have appreciated.
          I think it opens individual's minds to possibilities, to new ways of learning and living, and helps many understand others in ways they may never have.  It adds spice to life to say the least.  It cultures individuals.  It creates jobs for many and contributes to countries that need help. Globalization has helped many of those who are less fortunate to receive education, medical supplies, food, and water.  It has created the aide of protection in countries during times of warfare. Countries have built upon one another, created allies and enemies. Could you imagine what our world would be like if we never shared the power of technology with one another?! We, as humans, are naturally curious and seek power. I don't think globalization would have never not happen. We thrive on creating, and innovating.  Globalization has made the U.S. what it is.
          Globalization, like most other things has it's positive and negatives.   There are always compromises to be made and often times you have to figure out if all the goods way out the bad.  I don't think there are always better ways to do something things I do believe we can try our best to be the most humane about every situation.
