Several new fast-food companies have emerged in recent years, appealing to younger customers with their creative menu offerings. Traditional fast-food companies like McDonald's and Burger King have lost market share to these chains, such as Chick-Fil-A, ShakeShack, and Five Guys. We can see the losses of other companies because when you go near any of these places that are competing the line tends to always be longer at Chick-Fil-A. The only thing is that there are so many more locations of say Mcdonald's or Burger
In the twentieth century, the government of the United States began taking more of an interest in the food industry. Soon after the twentieth century began, the government realized the harsh conditions in the factories and how unsanitary they were so they went from favoring big businesses to passing laws against the cruelties they did and regulating the items sold in the United States.

Although some people believe that being different can lead to non-understanding or bad thoughts, you can say the same thing about different languages or cultures, yet they are honored and practiced by lots of people. Heroes like Rosa Parks and M.L.K. Jr. were first thought by people to have bad ideas and thoughts, but even then, they made whites realize the awful racism they had been expressing. Many inventions and habits were adapted by modern people from different cultures around the world. For example, some of the current medications are developed based on the information from the Sumerians clay tablets in 5000 B.C. Differences among people are good, but not respected enough. The diversity of humanity and cultures allows us as people to learn and progress through new and different ideas, as well as expand our thoughts into creative discoveries.
We are not only able to understand the cultural legacies of our ancestors, but others unique past and the magnificent beauty of diversity as well. However, without mutual understanding and respect, it's impossible to recognize the glamor of foreign culture and achieve the goal of globalization
This document pertains to the people’s ideas because it reflects the changes that were happening and the new way of thinking that child labor is bad and that Americans should be free and get education. Document B shows how the conditions in meatpacking plants were extremely unsanitary. It describes how many of the workers in the plants were often ill with tuberculosis and these articles by the muckrakers were very effective in initiating change in the food industry because it related to the health of normal people and this inspired change enacted upon in new legislation.

What’s more, the process of the fusion of different culture has been accelerated, which may cause cultural conflicts among different countries that can also be a great threat to national security. Inequality as a product of globalization exists in all spheres of economic, political and social life(Andresska,
Cultural globalization is often understood as the spatial diffusion of global products. At a deeper level, cultural globalization may be seen as the contested process of internationalization of values, attitudes and beliefs. The spread of cultural practices and symbols makes the world more the same, but at the same time triggers resistance. Hence, cultural globalization while uniting the world is also seen to strengthen local cultures and is a major force behind the creation of identities. Such homogenization or differentiation can be noticed in the change of cultural practices and consumption patterns over time and space.
