Berger talks about cultural homogenization in Chaper 10. Resturants like McDonalds and other popluar places are dominating areas all over the world. I mean our society is considered McDonaldization. I worried, since all of these places are taking over our society, where will there be room to create certain towns with distinct local places. No one will remember these little shops, but where they can find a McDonald’s instead. Lately, these dominating resturants are getting old, and I would love to see some new places around. Berger addressed another very serious issue, is the problem of adult and childhood obesity. The mass poplulation of places like McDonalds are the reason why people suffer from diseases. The main problem is that fast food resturants are fast and cheap, so we don’t think about the side-effects of eating these types of food. Our health is suffering from these places, but no one seems to notice because it fits into our schedule. Food of this sort causes diabetes and heart disease along with many other sufferings. However, McDonalds took a huge downfall after the movie Super Size Me was released. It had such a negative impact that the images this movie portrayed stuck into peoples minds. After watching that video, I still ate mcDonalds. I believe its what you eat in moderation. I love McDonald’s and I am working out all the time, so I basically eat what I want. I can honestly say I eat McDonald’s twice a week with the soccer girls after studying or after a long night of practice. Were all tired, dont have any food in the room, and are forced to fast food. Recently, I have now accustomed myself to eating something healthy instead of fast food. I can already see the results from not eating fast food, and the late night snack now is an apple. People should force themselves to the ideas of cultural homogenization and it could help out nation immensly.
McDonald’s : we love to see you smile :) :
