In the story I saw globalization just in the fact that Mozambique was getting bread from Russia.  Globalization also effected Mozambique massively.  The fires and dryness in Russia made it harder to get wheat to make bread.  There for because of the laws of supply and demand the price went up about 20 cents in US money.  There was an uproar from Mozambique citizens and people were wounded and killed.  The government finally outlawed the price raise.  It is globalization because something in Russia effected a country in another part of the world, Mozambique.
