World Similarities (Good or Bad)

World is becoming more similar day by day, and it made a great impact in our way of thinking, lifestyle and way of gaining knowledge.

Nowadays! People usually aware with everything about other countries and their culture, lifestyle and technology. We are familiar with same technology like gadgets (e.g. Apple, Samsung) used commonly in all countries, other tech based companies like Sony and Philips are also very common in all countries. Same as brands; all people wears common stuff like Gucci, Dolce Gabana etc etc, their glasses purse, clothing and watches are very common between nations now and they use each other’s products (e.g. German cars used in America and Japanese Chinese products widely used in whole world).

It’s a very good approach to make people familiar with similar products because they can take benefits with each other and very fever able for business too. Mostly! Lots of people in world aware with different type of cuisines because of food chains< Food Chains played huge part in introducing taste in different country (just like people in Saudi Arabia have access to American, chines and Italian chains, so they knows very well that what American and Italian eats usually. Tv channels and internet also massively changed everything in our life just like eating, wearing as well as speaking, people interact each other and learn different cultures and their languages.

On the other hand, it causes and negative effect in our society which people don’t notice usually, they leaves their own culture and they adopts other things which are not adjustable in their society. Just like; they are obsessed with brands and they spends lots of money on purchasing foreign products as status symbol, it is not beneficial for them as well as for their local products, so people neglects local brands and their own culture.

In conclusion, it’s very good for people if they buy same products because it would be helpful in growth of technology and interaction between cultures. Yes these things have drawbacks too but mostly we can take benefit by making technology and innovation accessible for whole world.
