The everyday things that we take for granted often connect us to faraway people and places. Consider, for example, the morning routine of an office worker in California. After waking and showering, she puts on a designer sweater and a pair of khaki pants. She brews and drinks a cup of coffee and eats a banana before heading off to work. Each of these products followed a complex path from a different part of the world to take its place in this woman’s morning routine.

Let's start with the sweater. Its story begins with sheep grazing on the plains of Australia. There, farm workers sheared the sheep's wool. At an Australian factory, workers spun the wool into yarn and dyed it. The yarn traveled to another factory in Portugal, where workers knitted and sewed the sweater according to a pattern produced by an Italian fashion designer. From Portugal, the sweater traveled to a warehouse in New Jersey, then to the mall in California where this woman bought it.

The khaki pants began as cotton in a field in Pakistan. The cotton was harvested and ginned in a nearby town and then transported to Karachi, where workers at a factory spun, wove, and finished the khaki cloth. In an Indonesian factory operating under contract with an American retailer, a woman sewed this cloth into pants, which then traveled first to the retailer’s Los Angeles warehouse and then to another store at the mall, where they caught this woman’s eye.

The coffee beans grew on a plant in the mountains of Kenya. Kenyan farm workers harvested the coffee “cherries” and then dried and hulled them to produce raw coffee beans for shipment to the warehouse of an importer in Virginia. From there they traveled to a plant in California, where workers roasted the beans and packed them for delivery to the café from which this woman bought them.

The banana that this woman purchased in her local supermarket grew on a tree in Ecuador. Ecuadorian workers harvested the banana as part of a bunch and packed it for shipment to a Los Angeles wholesale market. From there it was sent to the supermarket’s warehouse and finally to the supermarket itself.

Before she has even left her house, this woman has used products that tie her to hundreds of workers on six different continents. Although she may not be aware of it, the car that she drives and her activities at work during the day will link her to hundreds of other people working in different parts of the world—people she may never meet but whose lives are tied to her own in the complex web that is our global economy.

Globalization has changed our life without our consent. Globalization to an extent increases a country’s dependence over other but at the very same time it increases its specialization in particular field.

Moreover it is helping out world to stand on a common platform with peace and harmony.
