    Bananas symbolize global interconnectedness and globalization, spreading across

    The rise of multinational corporations, like United Fruit Company, significantly
    influenced Central American nations' economies, governments, and labor forces, leaving lasting
    political impacts.
    Bananas symbolize the paradoxes of globalization, presenting economic opportunities
    and new flavors but also posing challenges like monoculture farming, environmental
    degradation, and labor exploitation.
