It could be the start of new products like Macdonald’s that is started in one place and the it is being spread all over the world…




3. How is “Bhangra pop” in India an example of globalization?

This sounds like it a mix from Jamaican Reggae and it’s mixed with Indian Instruments, and I think it a great example because it shows us how music of Jamaica influenced in India…





4. What is positive or good about globalization?

The good thing of Globalization is that stores that are really famous in one country later on this could be spreading around the world, also the same as culture, like: when Jamaican Reggae is mixed with Indian Instruments…

“Linguists estimate that every two weeks a language dies, taking with it unique ways of thinking, communicating, and living—and generations of irreplaceable knowledge.”





8. How did the images make you feel?

This pictures quite affects because thinking of us that we have modern houses clean food, but these people are suffering because for they don’t have clean water and that can produce Cholera and they don’t have any houses so they have to sleep in the cold floor…



9. What did the photographs teach you about indigenous people and/or globalization?

That the Indigenous people aren’t really wealthy as we are they also don’t really have good service or cloths to buy… and they live in places like in the forest or in the mountains and they don’t have electricity or cables so they have light…





10. In your opinion is globalization a good thing or a bad thing? Or some combination of the two? Explain.

I think is a combination of both because it has positive side and negative sides… because this factories that are around the world are polluting the world and I think they will take over the world…And these companies are abusing the peoples rights and they are not paying them fair enough…
