I chose this specific culture because the fall semester of my freshmen year of college, I met someone who became very close to me and she happened to be a Seventh Day Adventist from Haiti. She was one of my first friends and once we started talking about things I realized we were brought up differently, and had a wide range of different experiences that brightened our views of the world when we shared with each other. I have never been out of the country and her being from Haiti and also having a higher traveling experience than me made me want to explore my options of traveling outside my comfort zone more.

It also focused on the working conditions, violence, poverty, poor health care system, and the lack of education. The documentary is narrated through the personal stories of women like Marie-Jeanne, Solange, Frisline, etc. At the beginning of the documentary, Marie-Jeanne talked about the working conditions that workers faced while working in the factories in Haiti. The conditions that these workers are in are miserable. For example, the workers are discriminated in the sense that they do not drink the same water as their bosses who employs them.

Globalization is when international organization influence on other countries. It seems that Haiti is a country with a strong dignity that oppose globalization as a force that have an effect on most aspects of economic experience. However, globalization has had both positive and negative effects. Globalization has impacted poverty in Haiti by free trading and many workers works unpaid for many international factories.

There are many ways to look at and understand modern globalization. In general terms, globalization means that the world, as a whole, is leading to a more utopian society, meaning that the globe is become very interconnected and similarities are growing between different regions and cultures of the world. Globalization is a phenomenon that has been evolving since before 10,000 B.C. This constant evolution can cause many problems, but it can also solve many issues positively as well.
