AMAZON AND THE GLOBAL CULTURE !


Amazon was founded in 1994 and launched in 1995 by Jeff Bezos. It was at the beginning a book sales site. Today the offer has completely changed, greatly expanded and diversified its offer. Indeed, the company sells all kinds of products (electronics, home appliances, beauty, clothing, shoes, accessories, jewelry, videos, books and many more products including food consumables) and it dominates online marketplaces.



 The American company offers its own products and services online but also gives companies worldwide the opportunity to market their products through their platform. Amazon is one of the most important brands in the world after Apple and Google. 


In 2017 Amazon employed 541,000 people worldwide. The company opened an original American site and specific sites for 15 other countries in the world. Amazon has a number of customers that are developing. The company has more than 120 distribution centers, sells more than 30 product categories and has customers in more than 180 countries. 






I decided to choose Amazon to talk about the world culture because it is above all medium that I use daily and that I appreciate because it is simple and fast and that one regroups practically all that one is looking for a suitable price. Amazon is a platform that brings together people from around the world with different needs but that can almost all be filled with simplicity and speed. I think Amazon has become for many a significant solution. 

Amazon has a huge impact on global culture in terms of individual consumption. This company makes it possible to satisfy many consumers with different needs, they have access to wide range of products and can receive them quickly for a rather reasonable cost so accessible to many.

    First, I really like this article since I learned the Amazon story, I didn’t know it was a platform that was only for the sale of books. We use a lot of sites and we don’t know the origin of them, thanks to this article we know the history of Amazon is very interesting.

    Then, It is curious to discover that I use the same amazon way but surely for different needs.
    I think it’s interesting to talk about this article in class. To find out how each person uses Amazon, for different needs according to culture or age. And learn from everyone maybe somme people will have tips to share.

    Finally, I believe that this article reveals the multicultural aspect of web site. Amazon is the perfect example of the growth of websites in the world. The whole world uses Amazon. It’s a platform that brings together a lot of different needs and people. It is also a sharing platform, we share our experience for the products we have bought
    Thank you for this article.
