Globalization and Interconnectedness: A Global Grocery Story for Education
At Harvard University, Nayan Chanda, Founder of Yale Global Online said “Globalization means reconnecting the human community.” He further mentioned that globalization has been an age-old process. For centuries, we as a race have been migrating to different lands, exchanging goods, services and ideas to improve our lives. “With globalization our interconnectedness and interdependence have grown.”
As I was going through my weekend shopping bills, I noticed how truly global my grocery receipt was.（非常好的句型，可以用在其他事件类话题中。） If I could only issue passports, the apples would be tagged Indian, Nectarines would be “United Stadians” (learned this term for U.S. at Harvard, HGSE), Guavas were of Thai origin, Cherries were very Canadian, the Ginger stick was Chinese, Figs were Turks, Tomatoes were Spanish, Chilies were South African, Potatoes were Peruvian and Coriander was Vietnamese. While I was selecting the fresh produce, I felt more like an immigration officer doing the required inspection before entry into the country or in my case, the shopping cart.（非常有趣的比喻） As the fruits and vegetables made way into my cart, I felt like I was organizing a mini summit of the United Nations.（一个非常浅显的全球化的例子。周末购物所买的东西来自世界各地，墨尔本文波雅思整理的雅思口语题库中有这样的题目，Can you give an example of globalization？你会怎么回答呢？想一下能否用你自己的语言加上文章中的好词好句流利地表达？）
While multiple thoughts were buzzing in my head, I just chuckled to myself （注意积累地道小词）because all this fresh produce from various nations was available for me (not a royalty, aka simple person) to consume in a sand land. Now those who know Dubai definitely understand what it is capable of accomplishing, and how it is always ahead of the curve（走在前沿的，引领潮流的）. Dubai does the most extraordinary things that the human mind can comprehend. So, it was no revelation but it is also not an ordinary event to have most fruits and vegetables available all year round in such weather conditions. 有很多词感觉自己都认识，但是你仔细想一想，是否你都会用。说到全年，你是否会马上想到all year round 还是会想到其他，能不能熟练运用。
Every time I grocery（作动词用，买东西） shop in Dubai or other parts of the first world, I am just amazed at how far we have come as a human race, and what we have achieved with the help of globalization, research and technology. It seems like everything is available, everywhere, and all the time. (When I say this, I mean in the developed nations of the world). It is like you don’t miss anything anymore, and you have a variety of options.
Recently, a friend of mine in the U.S. asked me if I miss anything in particular about the U.S., and I said none because everything that is available in the U.S. is also readily available where I live. From odd food joints to clothing lines, everything seems to be in real time sync with a little bit of variation to suit the cultural palate of the given nation.
I truly find it fascinating to be in the middle of an unknown land (developed or developing), and yet have a few familiar signs that make me automatically comfortable. E.g. McDonalds, Ikea, H&M, Aldo, Starbucks, Roundtable, Cheesecake Factory, Apple, Google, Burger King, KFC, Gevalia, Twix, Kitkat, Tang, Coke, Pepsi, Loreal, Nivea, Hindustan Unilever etc. It makes me think that I can survive in any land, due to the familiarity of these global icons.
While growing up, I did not have this kind of global exposure. I had never seen a Broccoli stalk or even an Avocado, let alone a McDonalds but these days they are everywhere. I still remember the joy I had when I ate my first Dragon Fruit and Mangosteen in Thailand, the delicious Kiwis in Italy and the very scrumptious 美味的dates in Arab land. Back in my time, milk did not have variations like 1 percent, 2 percent, Half and Half, Fat Free. Milk was milk, and you had to just drink it. So much has changed, and so many things have been standardized. I sometimes wonder, if this whole globalization process will kill curiosity and make people stop exploring other parts of the world because they have everything available in their own country?雅思口语第三部分有一道题，这么多年来，大家吃的东西有什么变化？段落中有可以运用的答案！
For me this global grocery exercise has opened up many questions but also confirmed an important lesson. I have understood that even though most of the ingredients in my Indian food were grown in a foreign land, in the end it still tasted authentically Indian. This just illuminates the power, interdependence, and interconnectedness of the whole planet. I think this central message of ‘interconnectedness’ needs to be conveyed to every person in the world, especially every student in any education system. So that they can aspire to become global citizens with an identity flavor that they can truly call their own.
