McWorld
Lacey Meek
Mass democide in the name of marketing and consumerism? Why yes there is an app for that! McWorld is the globalization of politics, and the market is what drives it. Human rights, political justice, democracy, and cultural identity are little when compared to advancing technology and getting that newest iphone to the buyers in time. Mcworld a world of porous national and racial borders, where we are one publically peaceful community, yet we overlook inhumane treatment as long as it doesn’t impede progress. How is this equality? Personally, if I am going to be killed, I would prefer to die fighting for something important to me, not as a number in a group of menial workers on an assembly line. Progress may be important, but I value myself above technology. My poster shows the world, which is breaking off near the top. This is our culture, which once lost, can never be retrieved. There is a cross, a musical note, and a yin yang symbol. These are known symbols of religions and cultures, and they will dissolve if McWorld comes into being. Of these two futures, Jihad is the lesser evil, for helping us retain our cultural identities, and for allowing the hope that democracy may return in the future.
