Hometown Globalization

    Globalization is the process of a business or organization starting to operate on an international scale. Me living in a small hometown Hamburg, Pa which is right in between Allentown and Harrisburg but there is not many places to choose from. Hamburg, PA has only two Grocery/ Hardware stores and which those are Lowes and Walmart. Both of these have changed drastically over the years you can find both of these anywhere. I'd rather talk about Walmart in this case since they have mainly all of the Manufacturing Facilities in China this is a strong show for globalization. Now talking about all the fast food restaurants we have McDonalds, Wendy's, Taco Bell, Five Guys and Burger King. These are all great examples of Globalization not only that you can find these anywhere in the US but these are also being used in other countries around the globe. We saw a big change in pay in certain work places since that happening you have seen an uphill climb in people applying for jobs all around with the places I have named in Hamburg, Pa. I recently worked at this junk mail factory called JSM which this business isn't a example of Globalization I have seen many different types of race working for this corporation meaning that people are now trying to find jobs near the US because what is over here. Now looking at the internet and social media you can see everything has become a lot more easier that way. Giving people a better look of what places there are all around the world. With all of these examples you can see that its only growing and will continue with everything going on.

I agree with you on the fast food example. Although I forgot to mention McDonald's from my town, it's true that fast food franchises have expanded around the world by Globalization. Deliveries can be found from land, air, and sea. I also agree with your take on social media. It has helped people looking for jobs.
