Global Stratification - Coca-Cola

Coca-Cola Global stratification occurs when there is an unequal distribution of resources between individuals and nations. We could use Nike or even General Motors as an example of global stratification, but Coca-Cola is just as good of an example. This company is simple and there really is not a supply and demand problem when it comes to beverages. Coca-Cola is a multinational company who outsources to third world countries. This is because nearly ten thousand coke products are sold and consumed every second. When the international marketing team sales, the more revenue the company will make. Globalization is what helps this company make nearly forty million dollars coming from other nations. This is not what is made here in the United States. (Business Case Study: Globalization of Coca-Cola, 2017). There are roughly 1.9 billion Coca-Cola products sold around the world every day. Local culture is based on the wealth of the country. When the country is less fortunate to not have been industrialized, the standard of living tends to be low as well. As opposed to when the country has been widely industrialized. The more corporations that are brought in, brings more jobs and business for the country. This allows the local culture to have a higher standard of living. The positive effects that global stratification has on our local culture is that when we practice outsourcing to these third world countries, who tend to be in more need than the United States, it allows them to have jobs. The negative side would be that it does not help that country in terms of wealth. They do not make as much money or profit. Their standard of living stays on the low industrialized side. The united states are typically more effected by global stratification because it is known to be one of the more advanced and wealthier nations. Global stratification is imperative when it comes to currency. Some negative impacts of global stratification would be that companies are outsourcing jobs that could have been given to our citizens. This then leads us to a higher unemployment rate. As these big companies increase their profit, bringing in an abundance of money, this does not actually impact the individuals. They are still considered to be losing. The positive side to global stratification in the United States are that we are able to create more businesses. By industrializing the United States, we can obtain and produce more products. By exporting them to other countries, we earn more foreign exchange. Which in turn can help develop and increase the living standards here in the United States. I believe that the global stratification winner would be how it affects the United states as a whole unit. Although our local culture has its advantages, the united states takes the win. This is since we are a whole unit. Without outsourcing the third world countries, similar to how CocaCola does, our county would not be in the position that we are in. we are one of the most advanced nations that there are. Yes, we would have more jobs, but the market would not be there. By expanding to other nations, it helps the united states out just as much as the others.
