Hometown Globalization

    Globalization has impacted my hometown in a number of ways that are similar to other places in the United States, and around the globe. Globalization is the spread of ideas, technology, business, and more across the globe with the idea to reduce limitations of a nation's boundaries. My hometown is Warminster, Pennsylvania, which is a suburb of Philadelphia, and globalization is present in the businesses that are located there, and also in the people and culture that is growing. Globalization is present in Warminster through the large number of worldwide corporations that are present in the community. For example, more global fast food restaurants have been built like Taco Bell and Popeyes. This is an example of globalization because not only are these companies based in the United States, but they also make their presence in other countries around the globe. These are companies that are American based, but are able to spread their ideas across the globe by placing a number of restaurants outside of the United States. Another example of globalization having its effects in Warminster is the growing cultural diversity in the community. With technology and access to other countries becoming easier, more some immigrants have moved to Warminster and gave themselves the opportunity to spread their cultures throughout the community. This has led to a more diverse community, with more diverse restaurants, businesses, and schools. These are examples of globalization because of the growing number of worldwide corporations in the town, and also the growing number of cultural diversity.
