More about globalization

Silk Road

Silk Road is an old representation of the globalization. It connects markets of ancient China and Mediterranean. In the past, people in different countries exchanged their knowledge, goods and culture by this route, such as silk, spices and porcelain. It is still used until today for poor people to trade with each other and get money.

The Christian

Globalization makes religion spreads far beyond the original areas. When Jesus lived in the world, he didn't travel to many places. However, his ideas were spread all around the world. It's because that he told his stories to his followers, and then some of his followers traveled to somewhere and spread Jesus' ideas to local people, and the local people also would tell to others about that. Europeans brought Christian religion to the regions they visited by colonies, like Latin America.

African tribes

Now globalization also influence the African tribes. For example, people in some of African tribes that have many traditions also use their own cell phone, which means that they need to have wifi, service, cell tower and someone else who can talk with. I think cell phones and other products can help them know more about this world that they can not learn in the remote tribes, and this also is the benefit of globalization.
