The author Michael Schuman said it well: “Globalization is alive and well”. This assumption would be correct, as many countries accept Western cultural influence as their own. Like the authors, Foer and Appaih, strive to identify globalization with unique references, in the absence of global annotation; globalism and its unstoppable force. Appiah's meaning for globalization is more specific than Schuman's and on a personal, family and religious level with acceptance and how others perceive them. Appiah's approach to globalism is based on perception, aside from what his family's beliefs are and what is different from other cultures, without any appeal to influence. Foer, on the other hand, perceives the culture of globalization as observed through sports, particularly football, family influence and other means aimed at preserving the change of globalization as Americans and non-Americans in the United States, with no mention of original or future influence from outside countries. As each author sees the world of globalization in their own way, they in fact complement each other on the reasoning they defend in favor of globalization, notably by Foer. Each author relates a personal and cultural opinion, because they have clearly defined their theories on globalization and its approach. By seeing the world as these authors do, we lose a lot in terms of originality and freedom, even more so with the desire to change without external influence. Since the majority of jobs are leaving America and our economy is in shambles, this does not mean that Western influence of globalization is stalled or declining; it simply comes back to him that he is stronger than ever, by means of expansion outside of America into more sparsely populated underdeveloped areas...... middle of paper...... au point where a merger again would almost lead to genocide, because each faith, sect, religion would be fighting for its way of life, its independence from conformity to others, the end game being inevitable; conform to globalism, or become an underdeveloped country.
