The difference with a muffin and a cupcake is that a cupcake requires you to
gradually dump each ingredient in one bowl. But a muffin would want you to mix
the wet and dry ingredients separately to gently combine them. The metaphor of
their differences is applicable to globalization, specifically the concept
which explains that globalization can appear homogeneous or
heterogeneous mixture. A cupcake has to be mixed altogether to create a batter
which requires a standard or sameness. So, an ingredient is mixed to have it
interact with all the other mixed ingredients much like how one culture influences
all the other cultures. While a muffin asks you to have the wet ingredients
mixed in one bowl while the dry ingredients on another, so two different
elements both of which will be mixed delicately to achieve a balance.
Homogeneity and a cupcake require uniformity while heterogeneity and a
muffin simply wants to create an experience of unity and equality. The
problem with all cupcakes is that all must taste sweet much like how a
homogeneous mixture approach everything as the same. With a good muffin,
you can create different flavors: fruity, sour, or it can even taste like pork. And
good fusion of globalization has to be one that allows all cultures to have the
opportunity to influence thus creating unique variations of interactions. Which
pastry mixture would you like best?
