You have traveled to China to take in the culture and sites of this ancient civilization. You are especially looking forward to seeing the Great Wall of China.

You are mostly looking forward to the visit because The Wall is one of the most beautiful and unspoiled areas in the country, and it has been a crucial part of the society for hundreds of years. On your way to the Great Wall, you pass by a busy area filled with stalls selling tourist souvenirs. A familiar symbol suddenly catches your eye, and you turn to see the golden arches of a McDonald’s restaurant amid

all the unfamiliar sights.

Close your eyes and listen…

Respond to the Following:

From your point of view, would the McDonald’s restaurant be a comforting or irritating presence in this particular setting? Why or why not?

From the perspective of an anthropologist (someone who studies the social and cultural development of humans), would the presence of McDonald’s have a

positive or negative effect on the community?

Take a guess on how you think the people in the community feel about the presence of McDonald’s?
