Answer:

Coffee being the one of the most global commodities, connected through practices of trade. It is overwhelmingly popular for consumption in more westernized areas like the United States, Eastern Europe and Africa. The act of drinking coffee become symptomatic of globalization due to an increased movement of cultural goods which is a process of cultural dominance of western culture and colonialism can never be reversed nor payed back, therefore coffee trade will never be truly fair nor ethical.
