One of the best advantages of globalization in the world is definitely to have the opportunity to acquire knowledge about other
cultures

However

 still believe that the best

 because working for a multinational

To begin
 with, the number of international
companies
 in Brazil,
for instance
, is fewer than the number of national
companies
.
However
, it is possible to see the influence of American culture everywhere, as when Brazilians intend to understand other
cultures
 they often travel to a foreign country.
Moreover
, in recent years the growth of streaming channels
such
 as Netflix, Amazon and Disney Prime has allowed
people
 from all over the world to watch a multitude of movie series made in different countries and it is absolutely possible to fully experience other
cultures
.
In addition
, just working for a multinational
company
 does not mean that employees will be able to understand other
cultures
 because in most cases, these international
companies
 have branches in different countries but the team is made up of local
people
, and only managers and CFO's have the chance to have contact with international
people

 the best

 is one of the ways of understanding other
