Therefore making income.. The infrastructure built to hold these event such as Sabina Park and Queen's Park Oval. Yes money is invested to build these places, but the returned in greater. A place for practice and when the competitions are held. Revenue is made by the ticket sales. Foreign exchange enters the country.

Sports connect also to both politics and culture.

Globalization:
The movement of companies to the islands such has fast food industries:

KFC

Pizza Hut

Starbucks

Pita Pit

Moving away from donkey carts, trains.. the worlds have a selection of car brands to choose from.

Communication from land lines to cellphones that do have cords attached to them. Phone prices from low as hundreds go up.
Electrical system to houses, where no lamp lights are no longer used.
Running clean water to homes, no need for taking buckets to standpipes to collect water.
Internet access available- communicate with individuals from aboard, business, transactions within in seconds.

The music, arts, the festivals brings the caribbean region closer together. Due to the shared history of most islands.

Music brings artist from different islands to collaborate together. Entering competitions that are located on different islands.

The use of YouTube brings the music to the world. This leads to placing the music on the map and future corroboration with international artist.

Icons like Sundar Popo placed chutney music on the map having concerts in Canada, A man born in Trinidad but loved so much by Guyana.

Actors with Caribbean backgrounds placed us on the map such as Winston Duke stared in "Black Panther"

The cross over off caribbean music to the international world. Music by Bunji Garlin and Bob Marley played in films.
Grey's Anatomy Season 10 Episode 10 played Bunji Garlin song "Differntology"
Hellcats Season 1 episode 15 playes Bob Marley song "Redemption Song"

New artist : Koffee, from Jamaica making music that is recognised on the international level .

Citizen question If the music of dancehall negatively impact the youths. The lyrics of the songs can be seen to promote gun violence and drug/ substance abuse etc, instead of individuals listening to the music for relaxation and plain environment. The ones whose identity was not fully developed by family and school environment would use these lyrics to escape to the dark side where they are easily influenced to committee legal activities.

The caribbean region share common festivals due to the person background and history.

This unify the caribbean as people and community.

The influence of our culture has spill over to the world. Nothing hill in England, Carnival in USA. But their culture has also influence us.. Christmas yes about Jesus Christ, but have been made to be about Santa Claus and also economic/ marketing increase around that time for companies.

Easter is not fully on the return of Christ but also Easter bunnies that lay chocolate eggs.

Then Halloween is celebrated in the caribbean a tradition of USA.

They lifestyle, clothing, idea of beauty has pass down to the Caribbean.  Winter clothing being a trend in the Caribbean.

The islands working together, would lower taxes importing and exporting goods around the caribbean.
Companies like: Sacha cosmetics, CARIB, Angostura and Blue Waters. Are internationally recognized and place us on the map.

Globalization has brought companies and these companies employ the citizens of the country. Reduction of unemployment rate.

The arrival of these companies, need better access to roads and better transportation. In the agricultural sector new machinery has been bought to help farmers. Also companies buy produce from these farmers. Nestles have a group of farmers that they purchase the milk from.

The greater increase to tourism in the country that brings foreign exchange in would help the government build better roads and highways. Also hotel accommodations for the tourist.

Qu1- Ans.a) Caribbean integration would aid in the development of the region but the introduction of globalization would help the process. It can so perpetuate the exploitation in the past, if they constantly use on resource and not think about the future and alternative resources that can used. Oil and gas yes it is profitable but eventually it would run out, instead of waiting and accepting money from it, they should think of ways that can make income simultaneously along with the gas.

Ans b)  Yes integration into the global community can help us understand, appreciate and respect different cultures and civilisations outside of the Caribbean region, this is because we allow the opportunity for us to listen to they history and understand what they have been through and how it has shaped them as people today. Therefore appreciating who they are and their culture.

Qu2. Ans. To reach to a point of globalization we must first understand our identity and who we are as people and this would make us look to our history. If we do not know who we are, we would become the people of countries who globalized us instead of adding to who we are and expanding ourselves. Yes we would appreciate the indigenous people for we would see how hard they lives were and the steps they took to give us a future.

Qu.3 Ans: It would be beneficially to sell produce on both a regional and international level. In the regional level laws and tax agrees are made and establish among the nations so it would be a fix price. But the international markets would bring in foreign exchange and build relationships outside of the Caribbean.

Qu.4 Ans :Our unique identity can only be erase if we do not understand who we are, yes we would be easily influence by their lifestyle because we would be programmed to believe that who they are, are better and we should strive to be like them. So yes in someways it would be lose, this where teaching of who we are in the education system is important. So from a young age a caribbean identity is formed and youth would know they are important and do not need to change to be important.

Qu.5 ans: Issues cannot be eradicate by globalization, we would first learn we are and what we have to offer before becoming globalized, we alone can "fix" of issues. It would have both a negative and positive effects. Negatively is would bring self doubt and wanting more and this would add more problems to the island.. Positively citizens would learn to speak up for themselves.
