The Globalization is simalar to G-A-S - Growing up, Air, Stool
1. A Child Growing Up
– Globalization cannot be, and never be stopped
from its development and advancement. Every year, every time, it is evolving and
rapidly changing. As the days pass by, wide arrays of
new improvement on the aspects of living will add up
to the splice of life. Consequently, “great age comes
with great responsibility” as globalization grows, people must inculcate accountability to all
undertakings.
2. Air (Blowing From Different Directions) – is a commonly found substance in the earth’s
atmosphere—it is everywhere… from east to west, from south to north. No one can doubt its existence
and significance; even people could not perceive it, we can feel its impact on humanity and society. Just
like the air, globalization is needed in order for humans to live and survive from time to time.
3. The Stool- Human feces comprised of different materials that we have eaten. They symbolize unity
in diversity. To put this in to perspective, as we eat Go, Grow, and Glow foods, they basically end up into
one finished product--- the stool. The food groups represents sectors of society or people, the plenty
and more diverse food we take, the more colorful and big is our output. In globalization, good social
interaction from different entity is important to attain and realize the expected goal. However, if there is
a bad element we consume ( bad social interactions) it will result a disguisting loose bowel movement
