List all in all of the components of two of your meals. meal 1 breakfast For breakfast I had a Tuna tilt sandwich, with lettuce, two slices of tomato, saute onions, and Hellmanns mayonnaise. I also had approximately 10 ounces of Minute Maid equatorial fruit Juice. Meal 2 Lunch My Lunch consisted of a barbecued Tyson volaille breast fillets, with steamed incorporate vegetables, and 8 ounces of bottle purified Dasani water. 1A. Where did apiece component of your meal originate?List the untaught that each government agency of your meal came from. Meal 1 Breakfast The origin of the Tuna fish sandwich is as follows The bread for the sandwich was two slices of Holsum whole pale yellow bread which is made in Puerto Rico, one 5 ounce chicken of the sea tuna send away which is made in San Diego California, The lettuce and tomato was topically grown on the US Virgin Island s St. Croix by local farmers, the Hellmanns Mayonnaise was made in New York and the Minute Maid tropical fruit Juice is produced by the Coca Cola Bottling Co. f Atlanta, GA. Meal 2 Lunch The Tyson Chicken Breast Fillets argon from Springdale, Arkansas and the mix vegetables argon locally grown on the US Virgin Islands St. Croix by local farmers. The Dasani water is produced by the Coca Cola Bottling Co. of Atlanta, GA. 1B. List where you purchased the crossways from. organism the St. Croix US Virgin Islands is solely 84 square miles and has a people of about 60,000 people we only concord two main merchandise place stores which are the same just two different locations, Plaza wasted East and Plaza Extra West.I do all my shopping for grocery store in Plaza Extra East for the last 20 rundown years. So Meal 1 Breakfast, and Meal 2 Lunch were all purchased from Plaza Extra East on St. Croix USVI. 1C. Consider the chain of events that took the product to get from the farm/ geta tory to your table Being that St. Croix is located in the Caribbean, most of our foods supply come from the State of Florida and is ship by containers on ships. The fresh produce and bread are shipped from the island of Puerto Rico where they are made.The only thing that is grown on the Virgin Islands is fresh vegetables and few fruits. 2. What are some of the benefits of a orbiculate marketplace and why? List at least 2 benefits, weighing any short-term and long-term impacts. many of the benefits of global marketing would be that consumers would have a larger divagate of products to choose from. Another would be the opportunities to small companies which can expand to look a global market instead of a small soil. This would leap consumers the opportunity to buy get around products at lower cost.Another benefit would be that opening offices in other countries would try jobs for locals in that country and for the country that is opening the office this basals that they wi lling be getting cheaper labor than that which they would pay in their home country for the same job. 3. What are some of the impacts of this global market and why? Considering both short-term and long-term impacts, provide at least 2 negative impacts. Some of the negative impacts that the global market can experience can be energized by forgetful management of these international markets and others can occur naturally ilk for pillow slip bad weather.Weather and natural disasters can match the global market in many ways, for example a country like China which exports Rice, can experience bad weather for a year which would affect the turnout of rice, this would not only affect China economically but cause the global price of rice to rise and the availability of the produce to diminish. So can we as a Country trust the global market as our primary source of food? I would suggest development the nations agriculture programs and the proceeds of foods in our nation the join Stat es of American, and all other countries should do the same.This would be like an emergency replacement in other words. Another negative impact would be modulate the rates of taxation from one country to another. For instance if the rates of taxes are higher in Mexico for an American company then the United States expertness then move that office to Brazil for example. This would affect the investments market for others which would affect the global market tremendously. 4. Consider the phrase Think Globally, Act Locally. What does it mean to you?This phrase in my opinion means that you are thinking beyond the horizon and understand the issues and needs of the entire world, but need to master copy and fix the issues of your own country before you can get heterogeneous with the rest of the world. I think that if we improve and expand our food production capabilities then we can move on to the global market and turn tail together for the same cause which is to bring food to those places that lack it and so much desires it. 5. Has your research on the global market changed the way you will choose goods in the future?Why or why not? After my research on the global market I would aver that I will not be changing the way I choose my goods in the future. I would still choose the things that I like and would not change these things just because a nation or country might be benefiting from my purchase more than another. The one thing that I now understand after my research is the reason why certain(prenominal) name brands of products are more expensive than others. The prices of products in the global market fluctuate based on the economical state of the producing country and the markets demands.I knowledgeable that the more money a country has the more food and better quality they get, this is why poor countries lack food, and even more have a smaller variety in the food choices.
