Banana Wars
The banana wars have begin raging since 1993. The term "banana wars" refers to a series of trade disputes between the European Union, the United States and several Latin American countries concerning access to Europe's banana market. The banana farmers cut down trees in order to make space for banana trees. When the farmers destroy the environment in order to plant more banana trees, other animals lose their habitats and source of food. Some of the workers are students that have been pulled out of school to work in order to make more bananas. More safety ways should be enforced so the people working on the farm are safer when they work. Women and children aren't paid and the workers that do get paid only $6.40 a day which pretty much in any country isn't enough to live off. This all might relate to the forces of globalization, transportation and trade because if paying people cheap to work the transportation must be cheap to bring the bananas to other countries and trade must be easy. My opinion on this issue is that I think it's not right that we're making kids work they're not being able to go to school, bad conditions, not getting paid etc. Also I don't agree with the part that they're hurting the environment and animals homes to put banana farms there.
Lubicon Cree
The damage to their nation has begin environmental, economic, social, emotional, cultural and spiritual. Everything they do as lubicon people is related to their land. When the land suffers the people suffer. Their hunting, trapping and fishing economies depend upon the health of the land; food and medicine come from the land; their spirituality reflects our connection to the land. We have always been self-determining with a large degree of familial autonomy. Their families, historically, were represented in the governance and decision-making in our Nation. Elders, women, and youth held and hold important roles in their Nation. All of their citizens participated in the egalitarian economy, providing economic stability and shared wealth. Their laws were and are lived laws: Their citizens knew and understood the laws and legal orders as they were taught to every citizen, from birth until death. Through this process they came to know the responsibility for their land and their Sovereign relationship with and obligation to their territory. All of their actions then and now are grounded in the shared understanding that as original peoples living in their original territory they're imbued with sovereign responsibilities to their territory. I think the forces communication and media of globalization were shown in this situation because well with media all parts of Canada found out about how the government wanted to take all the land away from the people because they found oil on it and it's all about the money. Communication because it caused a lot of problems between the people as they tried to resolve the issues because their land was getting taken away from them. My opinon on this issue is that I don't think it's right that the government takes over peoples land just because there's oil there. I feel like all people on earth should all be treated evenly no matter who you in less you're a criminal or something.

Affirming identity, language and culture
To some people, language is identity. Language is so important to cultural identity that peoples, governments, and organizations around the world use many different strategies to affirm their language in a globalizing world. Some advocates of globalization believe that increased communication and interdependence will bring greater understanding among the peoples of the world. The number of languages spoken in the world declines every year. On average, one language disappears every two weeks. Language experts believe that between 6000 and 7000 languages are spoken on Earth. Languages can disappear when only a few people speak them. In 2006, the world’s largest language group, in terms of first-language speakers, was Mandarin Chinese. Globalization forces mentioned media and communication because well first media because we all get affected by media we could change our values and ways because of it to fit in. Communication because we're talking about different languages being spoken all around the world and they're different ways to do so like technology or talking face to face.
