MCDONALDS AND HONG KONG

Recently, I had read an article that as required for one of my GNED courses; Globalization. It was about The essay, Mcdonald’s in Hong Kong by James L. Watson talks about how Hong Kong adapted to the Western culture and cuisine, and even after so long, Hong Kong still maintains their culture and beliefs. As a student with limited knowledge to Globalization, I was unaware that something like fast food and cuisine could affect culture in such a substantial way. I never stopped to think about the cultures and race that something: like McDonalds could do, and the affect it had on their life and the general society. I feel that the introduction of McDonald's has been a benefaction towards globalization. With the advancement of technology and communication, fast food into foreign cultures have allowed the opportunity for them to keep up with this fast pace. I am convinced that the evolution of China has advanced into something more. Nevertheless, it is important for cultures to keep their values and beliefs, and not let the vast advancement of civilization change what they strongly believe.
