So in class couple weeks ago we were talking about what is globalization and what isnt. We were discussing whether or not the FIFA World Cup can be considered globalization or not. Globalization as mentioned before in many posts can be interpreted in a way of different countries and cultures all coming together as one.
The World Cup in my opinion is definitely a form of globalization. In many teams, you have players that are not of that nationality. For example, Mexico may have players that not only originate from Mexico but also from European countries and other South American countries. In this way, many different cultures are inter-mingled and globalization occurs on a very big platform. Everyone all across the world watches the World Cup, soccer being one of the most popular sports in the world.
Also during the games, many different countries, coaches all come together. Before the game starts the national anthem for both the countries is played and both the teams pay respect. I think the ground is a great form of globalization and the mingling of fans, players, coaches all to come together and take part in one event.
