History of Globalization

Globalization is not new. For thousands of years people have been trading goods and

travelling across great distances. During the Middle Ages, merchants travelled along the Silk

Road, which connected Europe and China. The modern age of globalization started with the

Industrial Revolution at the end of the 18th century. New machines were able to produce

cheaper goods. Trains and steam-powered boats transported products farther and faster.

Since 1980, globalization has been moving at a faster pace. Today it is easier for companies to

work in other countries. The Internet gives them the chance of reaching more customers

around the world. Teleworkers work for firms that may be far away.

Italian City Bans Foreign Food

Until a short time ago , Italians mostly ate Italian food , but in the past decade more and more

immigrants have been coming into the country and with them their food. Now Italians are

fighting back. The Tuscan town of Lucca does not want any kebab shops and Chineserestaurants in their historic city any more. Lucca, about 60 km from Florence, has declared

that it wants to preserve its food tradition. Therefore, no more foreign food shops are allowed.

A debate is going on between town leaders and the population. Is it possible to forbid other

cultures in our era of globalization? Italy's agriculture minister supports the ban. He says that it

is important to preserve Italian culture and tradition.

Others are ashamed of what has happened. Critics of the new law say that a lot of typically

Italian food does not originate in Italy but comes from other regions: tomatoes from South

America or pasta from China. The issue is also influenced by the politicians of the region. In

northern Italy the right wing Northern League is very strong. It is against foreigners and foreign

culture in Italy. Italians are also afraid that products from other countries are being sold as

Italian. Cheap restaurants buy low quality olive oil from Greece or Turkey . Truffles that are

imported from China are often passed on as Italian truffles from the northern part of the

country.

Factory Farming

Factory farming is a method of mass food production in which animals are kept in very confined

areas in order to get the best possible profit. Factory farming wants to keep production costs low

and sell cheaper food to consumers. Factory farming is a much discussed issue. Animal rights

activists and environmentalists claim that this type of food production is dangerous to our

environment and forces animals to live in an unworthy way. On the other side farmers and larger

food corporations claim that they cannot produce enough food at reasonable prices without factory

farming.

Over the past decades farms have grown in size and intensity. Farming has become an industry,

using modern technology. Today farmers use pesticides, antibiotics and vitamins to produce as

much as they can and to control diseases. Fertilizers make it possible to grow more crops than

nature would allow. These factors lead to lower food prices on supermarket shelves. Those who

are in favor of factory farming say that it creates jobs and lets consumers buy cheaper food. They

also state that it is friendly to our nature because it uses less land to produce the same amount of

food.

Critics against factory farming say that it is brutal and cruel to animals. They live in overcrowded

cages or boxes without enough space to move around. Chicken, sheep, cattle and pigs are often

kept in such a way. They are given special feed so that they can grow quicker. Crops that are

sprayed with pesticides are a health risk to humans and have a number of chemicals in them. They

also argue that such large farms ruin smaller ones because they can produce at more competitive

prices. Although products from factory farms are not labeled consumers can buy food from organic

production. Some products, like eggs, have labels on the boxes that say they are laid by hens that

can move around and are not kept in cages.
