At first, we need to highlight the Cuban State on several points. Cuba, that has been disconnected from the U.S.A. more than 30 years has an exemplary public education and also an excellent public health. The western world offers this just in a few of its countries, where also private institutions in these and in all of the capitalist world are over the public services. I personally don't want Cuba to be influenced with this model losing these great benefits for its people.
Also it's important to say that with this isolation from the rest of the world, Cuba has kepts its own culture, and it hasn't lost it with the influence of the globalization like South American countries or just like the United States, that now a days is just a compilation of different cultures, or just companies, of the world.
On the other hand the arrival of the western world will bring to Cuba, along with some advantages, lots of problems from our society that still are not in the island, just like obesity. We can explain that with just 1 fact: 33% of the American population is overweight, and in Cuba it's just the 21%, not because they can't eat a lot, just because of companies like McDonald's, Starbucks, Burger King, Wendy's, Subway, Taco Bell, etc. It's just a different lifestyle, in other words, unhealthier.
In conclusion, I just want to say that Cuba has kept a great culture, a great public service, a healthy like style... A different way to live life. Western world will just influence it on a bad way. A solution? Not allowing this new relation, or just, putting limits, because world's first power can also be world's principal destroyer.
Thanks for reading!
