		<description>i think the starbucks in Beijing in the Forbidden City really really degrades the whole atmosphere. Its good that they shut it down, but what Mr. Welker said is true, globalization is everywhere. It seems that there is no where you can turn without seeing a Starbucks. Hey, there&#039;s even one near school, but who&#039;s complaining? In the modern city, many people would rather have their starbucks then give up their comfortable neccessities to go out with in the wild. </description>

		<description>Globalization, whilst it can be a good thing, it&#039;s also a scary thing.  When I think of globalization , I think of a dark cloud of pollution, because that&#039;s what usually comes with it.  Even the places such as Guiling with all its beautiful mountains is becoming polluted because tourists, means more shops and transportation, means more carbon monoxide (from buses that transport the tourists, from factories that manufacture the gift shop junk, from the trucks that ship everthing back and forth).  This all happens because globalization brings money, and who doesn&#039;t want more money?    Then only after lung cancer and asthma rates increase and people can no longer see the stars and the moon is small er than a penny, do people look back and dream about the finer points of rural life. </description>

		<description>From the article that I just read, it seems that soon no place will be save from the chains of globalization. Even small rural towns are beginning to succumb to the globalization, as can be seen in Sandpoint. It really is a shame that having some areas free from such a &quot;world policy&quot; can only be a dream, a unfulfillable desire. </description>

		<description>I think I see a pattern in how ppl prioritize things in life: first they establish their careers, fulfil their ambitions of success, then reflect on the quality of life. It corresponds to the hierarchy of needs in a way. </description>
