At Juan's house last night, we had lasagna for dinner and he played some music by the hottest new band from Germany. Afterward, we went out to meet his friend from Japan at a karaoke bar. The evening was a perfect example of what relatively recent development in our society?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that Juan had access to music from a hot new band in Germany and had a friend visiting from Japan suggests that globalization is the relatively recent development exemplified by the evening's events. Lasagna could be seen as a product of consumerism, but that alone does not make it the best answer choice. Immigration is also relevant to the evening, but does not capture the global and interconnected nature of the events. Rationalization does not seem to be relevant at all.
