All together the Columbian Exchange impacted the entire world, and is still doing so today. Human diets are more diverse, as different cultures begin to assimilate into new cultures. Across the globe, humans have more diseases in common, more cuisine in common, and more fashion in common. Modern transportation (such as airplanes) quickly spread diseases from one continent to another, just as Colonists ships had done in the 16th Century. Capitalism is now the dominant economic force in the world today; creating economic disparities seen during the Columbian exchange resulting in protests worldwide, such as occupy Wall Street. Just as Europe had Europeanized the Americas, the United States of America is doing so now to the East. Country’s cultures are reshaped by American industries (i.e. McDonalds) leading to new diets (causing obesity) and new social ideologies such as the rights of women. Now, when an Americans leaves his or her house to visit a country they are still surrounded by the ‘comforts’ of home. Although slavery is banned around the world, racial discrimination and racial prejudices are still woven in the fabric of our culture
