Topic Reading-Vol.1966-8/29/2017

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
German supermarket clears foreign goods from shelves to make point about racism
It seems like just a reminder to the public about how diverse today’s world is. Imagine how much of the merchandises sold at a supermarket come from other countries. Also, look around your house. How much of the clothes, foods, toiletries, electronic devices and furniture are made in your own country? You’ll be surprised to find how internationalized your life is.
One of the supermarket chains in Germany removed all the merchandises that came from other countries and show the nearly-empty shelves to their customers and the public. The purpose? To show how diverse the world is at a time when anti-immigrants movements are arising. If diversity of product origins provides us with a variety of daily necessities, what about diversity of community and society?
Enjoy reading and seeing the “what if” photos, and think if you want to watch a TV channel that shows only about your own community but nothing else.
