Globalization could be emphasized towards as an intergrading process for the many complexities of conforming in the development of any country. Although Foer’s and Appaiah’s arguments justified their views of globalization on a particular topic, globalization is and will always be shaped by nature, consisting of interacting socially, culturally, and as a societies since if identity through life lived activities. As a social progress, globalization is embedded through individual’s interactions with purpose, and the stimulation of cultural values, with or without constraints globally.  In this essay the reader should be able to identify with a particular country along with a particular event that coincides with globalization having the impact it has on national pride, history, culture, and identity in social interactions.
