Paraguay
Globalization in Paraguay 2.0
Paraguay in its self is a very independent country. They are “…a land locked island.” In my opinion they don’t want to be influenced by the rest of the world. Sure they have Facebook and any other social media out there, but they are very traditional. They have kept a language that is not used in very many countries, they do know Spanish but they will not let their original language die.
They do however trade with many different countries. So how much globalization do they participate in?
Sure they receive help and give help if they can but they don’t want to take on any of the traditions of the rest of the world. This is all in my opinion by the way.
Paraguay: The Downside of Soybean Consumption | Global 3000

Paraguay's Atlantic Rainforest is home to the Aché. The indigenous people live from and with the forest as traditional hunters and gatherers. But pressure is growing on them: large-scale soya producers are offering them money for their land.
Only 13 percent of their original habitat in the Atlantic Rainforest remains. An Aché community of 40 families lives in the southern part of the forest. They still own 500 hectares of land. They're surrounded by soybean plantations, but they, too, have to farm land to survive. A team from the World Wide Fund for Nature is helping the Aché preserve their habitat and way of life. They are encouraging the revival of yerba maté cultivation. The plant regenerates the forest floor, resulting in greater biodiversity.

Alberto Yanosky is the head of the NGO Guyra Paraguay. Since 1997, the environmental organization has led the struggle to protect the country's natural habitats and their inhabitants.
Yanosky is trying to prevent the deforestation of the rain forest in Paraguay. The environmentalist estimates that some 1,000 hectares of forest are cut down each day to make way for cattle ranches and soybean fields. Yanosky tries to step in when land deals are being made in order to save at least some of the trees.
