I love this picture because I believe it captures the very essence of globalization. The horse drawn carriage suggests to me the past, while the multi-billion dollar corporations behind it suggest change. In India, people have traveled by horse drawn carriage for many years. Still today, this is a major form of transportation in this country. In 1996, McDonald's opened it's first restaurant in India and many other corporations have followed such as Pizza Hut and KFC (listed above). This picture brings the past and the present into view, ultimately proving Globalization is very much active today.
