The problem I have with globalization is this, <br />I like different cultures,people,shops,ideas and ideals.It's getting to the point in England where everytime I go shopping I find the same large stores,selling the same mundane,overpriced merchandise.It puts the smaller,private (interesting ) shops out of business.It's all very well saying'support your local shop'but there are only so many things you can buy.Over here the High Street shops are bought by the main companies.The smaller shops co-exist with these.Then the main companies set up out of town superstores (selling the same stuff,but with easy parking).The main companies can sustain the loss of the High Street decline in trade but the smaller businesses cannot. <br />In Tenterden where I live,the High Street (once a wonderful display of local produce and design ) has turned into a tourist antique shop nightmare. <br />And another thing.If everything is the same in the World, would it be a good idea to move all the the tourist attractions to one place,have a quick look,and then nip down to MacDonalds for lunch. <br />Sorry I forgot,Disney has already done it [censored] <br />Plus I think that is better to have many comfortably wealthy people than a few superich. <br />Troy <br />Troy
