China: You are the force of globalization that everyone else would be critiquing?

America:... I was gonna say because they’re complex. And I’m just too empathetic. To others. It’s strenuous. 

America:... And with the amount of trade you have that’s such a hypocritical-

Ethnography, described as customs and cultures of certain groups of people, goes hand in hand with the notion of globalization and migration of ethnicity. In today’s day in age, we are faces with the wonderful reality that different ethnicities are becoming a populated in different regions of the world. A lot of the progress made in globalization can be accredited to the numerous non-governmental organizations we have in the Americas. The main reason for the progress made by these NGOs is due to them being the intermediates of the world. Another way this can be described is by saying, “As intermediaries, they are the contemporary inheritors holding up the contemporary world system fragmented by neoliberalism: they are “gluing globalization” (par. 5).

NGOs help to provide resources and funding to researches while simultaneously advocating for different areas of improvement. For example, NGOs can help monitor governments and aids in healthcare research in the United States. However, in Haiti, the improvements are made to a different area than in the United States. NGOs in Haiti focus on more centralized subjects that include road networks, trash, and overall urban civilization. Thus, NGOs are responsible for making Haiti a place with habitual standards. This aids globalization because the funds and volunteers fill the gaps in society and benefit the population through those not affiliated with the state or government.

In this unit, we learned about Mcdonaldization. One of the steps that stood out to me was control and how important it is for Mcdonaldization to work. Mcdonaldization was all about the perfect world and having everything exactly the same, like a well oiled machine. The concept is the our world expects things to be like a mcdonalds, the fast food chain. Mcdonalds are always quick, you know what you are getting, and they are very much the same in the product they send out. It’s a working order machine. People don’t like it when things are different or unexpected, they want to be able to walk into a place and get what they expected to get. This image captures the amount of control needed for that to work. I think of it more as people being robots, controlled on a string. For everything to be perfect, human mistake is not accepted. There’s just one perfect person controlling everything. This reminded me of all the times somebody got mad at a retail worker. They would yell at the retail worker for something that is completely out of control, expecting perfection. In reality, the thing that the people are so angry about are not in the retail workers control. All they do is check them out. Not everywhere is like a mcdonalds and society isn’t meant to be perfect. Many places are turning into these factory like places. Everything is being pumped out the same and mistakes still occur. It is impossible for everybody to be on a string to ensure perfection. It’s an unrealistic expectation.

What is the item?

The item is a one inch, three ring binder developed for the use of holding documents. A binder can vary in sizes and can even have what they call, D shaped rings like the rings in the picture above or standard round rings. Three ring binders are made out of metal rings that are properly secured, plastic, and one sheet of binder cardboard. They also are made with pockets on the inside to secure more documents and are one hundred percent recyclable.

Where was it made?

Three ring binders are typically made in different regions of China. The manufacturers then export the material to the United States which in some cases is very costly for an American company. After that process the item is brought to the Walmart store incorporation; located in Bentonville Arkansas where the binders are then distributed to different Walmart franchises. I purchased this item at a local Walmart.

Impact the item has on me?

I purchased this item from a local Walmart because i needed it for a class. It impacts my life by making it extremely convenient when it comes to keeping my book organized.  It is also convenient when it comes to storing my documents so i can just flipped through them easily in the class. As long as i can remember the three ring binder has always been convenient for me when it comes to that purpose.

Impact on the people who manufactured it?
