    Globalization step 1b
    Throughout this assignment, I expected the most frequent origin place for
    different products to be China. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the most
    frequent origin was in fact the U.S.. This lends itself to my conclusion that my household
    is more conscious about the origin of what we consume than most, resulting in us
    consuming primarily items from our own country. This does change the fact that we do
    possess many items from other parts of the world. Globalization has a seriously
    profound affect on my family and almost all others. If not for the sizeable range of
    foreign countries we consume from, our lives would be extremely different. For one, if
    there were less international trade in products then our personal lifestyle would be
    changed because of income difference. No to mention the less broad variety of cultures
    our decoration would reflect. All in all, the way my family, and others in this country live,

    is defined by the globalization we endorse massively to the point where our daily lives
    center around it.
