Globalization hasn't only changed the way we do business: it's had an impact on what we consider to be beautiful, too. Just as many lament the McDonalds and Starbucks on every corner, where once there might have been a local restaurant, so too has what people wear become homogenized in our Global Village. Love Levi's? Buy them practically anywhere. Want a pair of New Balance shoes in Eastern Europe? There's a specialty shop for that.
全球化并非只改變了我們的商業(yè)行為：它還影響了我們的審美觀點。就像很多人慨嘆世界每個角落都充斥著麥當勞和星巴克，而那些地方本來可能曾經(jīng)有一個本地小餐館。人們的穿衣方式也一樣，在我們的地球村里越來越趨同。你喜歡李維斯（Levi's）？隨便去哪里買就行了。想在東歐買一雙新百倫（New Balance）的鞋？那里就有你想找的專賣店。

Before mass communication, and television in particular, there used to be quite a difference in what we thought was attractive, as this list of postcards from 1900-1910, collected by user PostMan on flickr, shows. Which photo is the most surprising?
