Causes And Consequences Of Globalization

Globalization, a contested concept among leading theorists in its definition, chronology, and measurement of effects, is almost certainly of a multidimensional nature if such theorists’ perspectives are all taken equally into consideration. The broad phenomenon of globalization can therefore be scrutinised more closely by separation and analysis of individual dimensions, such as its political, economic, cultural and ecological dimensions. This approach, while allowing for a more focused examination of the causes and effects of globalization within a single dimension, serves to highlight the interconnectedness of each dimension. The following essay will expose the complex interconnection between the political, economic and cultural

Contemporary globalization is an exceptionally multifaceted phenomenon and can be defined as "an intensification of cross-national cultural, economic, political, social and technological interactions that lead to the establishment of transnational structures and the global integration of cultural, economic, environmental, political and social processes on global, supranational, national, regional and local levels" (Huynen, Martens & Hilderink, 2005). The very nature of the American society has experienced insightful and compound changes due to globalization that has brought with it both new opportunities and risks. Similarly, the impacts of globalization

At this point of time, globalization has grown to be a phenomenon that is significantly important economically, politically, and culturally. The amalgamation and incorporation of the world economy around the globe has reshaped business. Not only this, it has created "new social classes, different jobs, unimaginable wealth, and, occasionally, wretched poverty" (Kiggundu 2002, p. 4) by restructuring the lives of the individuals. For some, globalization is associated to modernism and contemporary practices. Others understand it as American domination (particularly those living in Asia). On the other hand, some people believe it to be the emasculation of America (Kiggundu 2002, p. 4).

Globalization, defined as “a process that aims to expand business operations on a worldwide level, and was precipitated by the facilitation of global communications due to technological advancements, and socioeconomic, political and environmental developments” has been around for ages. However, it is a force that is becoming increasing more relevant in today’s world. In layman’s terms, globalism is the merging or “melting” of individual perspectives and markets into a more global market. As of recently, society has been obsessed with studying globalization. However, the conversation is rarely economical. Globalization is typically looked at as a social or cultural force that is shaping and connecting the world. This is scene in clothing styles, human travel, and popular culture that has become increasingly similar across nations. That sentiment isn’t wrong-globalization does have a cultural side, but many people are missing the economic impacts that this new world is facing. In fact, the economic implications of globalization and how governments legislate to control them leads to significant opportunity, but also huge threat globally.

The world is not a large and strange place anymore. The world is a place that is interconnected and intertwined. The world has become from a place that each country and their peoples are separate and isolated to a place that each country and their peoples are part of a global network. Thanks to globalization this is occurring. Globalization is the ‘international integration” or ‘de-bordering’ – “a number of highly disparate observations whose regular common denominator is the determination of a profound transformation of the traditional nation-state” (Von Bogdandy 2). Globalization is connecting different people from different cultures and backgrounds together. More and more corporations are entering new foreign markets to sell their

Since the era of globalization, people all over the world became closer than ever before. Goods and services that appear in a country are immediately promoted by the others, as well as international transfer and communication. Thomas L. Friedman, the author of “globalization: the super-story” that was published in 2002 as a book prologue, examines the factors of globalization from diverse aspects and how it could help people better understand the 9/11 events. Friedman not only claims that the globalization brings the world closer together, but also that people are no longer bound by where they come from.

We all live in a globalized world; due to technologies being rapidly made it has driven globalization. Now we are well informed about other countries across the entire world and able to communicate internationally. Globalization has created a framework for cooperation among homelands. Generally, it has affected our nations and, indirectly we, the citizens in various ways; economically, politically, and socially, however it is a fast integration and association of various nations, which shapes the world affairs on a global level. The concept of globalization is evident in the many difficult challenges that come with it, involving our cultural differences, and the regulating challenge of globalizations. The phenomenon of globalization has affected many cultures around the world, resulting in the Americanization of other nations.

After reading the history of this person, I experienced different feelings in the first pride that in this world there are still such people, secondly the sadness that I as a person still failed to do something extraordinary for this world. From what I have read, I have noticed, to a large extent, the positive aspects of globalization. Even Samir himself speaks about this that they greatly influenced him “Globalization has had a very strong effect on me. It has allowed me to live with my friends and extended families that live in very different cultures and settings.”

Globalization is one of the most debated and emphatic issues of the time. It rapidly increases the flow of goods, capitals, ideas, and people across the national borders. Under the influence of globalization, the international relation is becoming more integrated and interdependent. Some people think globalization creates the global market that improves the growth of economic and strengthens cultural exchanges. However, others consider it as a problem or a threat that causes economic, cultural, political, and environmental damages. Instead of maintaining the international relation, every country and individual care about their benefits and positions. When people live in a society, they care whether they get what they deserve or not. Social and economic justice is essential for personal and national development. In some ways, globalization gives support to develop the ideas of social and

In today’s landscape, globalization is surely a highly-loaded term and one that cannot be denied. However, it cannot be accurately evaluated without taking into consideration the point of view of those who have be most heavily impacted, or “globalized” by its spread. Things do not appear as black and white as certain agents of globalization, such as governments or corporations may want to believe and even portray it as such. In both literature and reality, it can be seen that there are more than one side to every issue, and the concept cannot be considered ethically without spending time in consideration of those most significantly affected. Our initial vision of globalization is one that has been sugar coated

Globalization is a unique process which has resulted in the linking of different national economies and local cultures into one global system and significant intensification of worldwide social relations. Development in transportation and infrastructure, as well as technological advancement promoted global interconnectedness and interdependence, having removed the barriers separating the world. Globalization is a fairly recent phenomenon, and as Fichtelberg pointed out, it affects virtually everyone almost everywhere. (Fichtelberg, 2008, p. 3) People all over the world are absorbing aspects of other cultures and lifestyles, through sharing of ideas, food, and entertainment. Globalization intertwined local and global, local neighborhoods are being influenced by world money and commodity markets, operating at an indefinite distance away from that neighborhood itself. (Franko, 2013, p. 3)

The term “globalization” is a hot topic of discussion for many people in the United States. The topics mainly relate to the positive and negative impacts it makes on the world. These arguments however are mostly subjective, as there is no right answer since there are good and bad qualities that stem from globalization. Regardless, a factual argument can be made that the U.S. and its people are positively impacted by globalization. Areas such as international trade, the U.S. foreign relations, and foreign culture have been impacted positively.

Today, we live in a world where Japanese anime and can be watched in New York, celebrities can achieve global pop status on the opposite sides of the globe, and the newest release of a music video can be seen instantly with the help of video sharing websites. With the help of today’s technology, globalization allows us to communicate almost anywhere in the world. Globalization is an ongoing process where different societies, cultures, and regional communities integrate through a worldwide network. Globalization allowed for a speeding up of the flows of goods, people, images, and ideas across the world. The media has impacted the way that the Western culture has predominantly shaped the world. Globalization has affected a wide range of people; whatever their age, class, ethnicity, gender, or where they live is not an issue. Globalization entails the circulation of the West’s way of being: ranging from architecture, the way we dress, music, eating habits, and languages. Due to globalization, cultural boundaries are now being broken down are now being embraced around the globe, which eliminates the cultural difference and results in a more homogenous world.

Across the world, globalization is one of the most significant aspects that has occurred over the last fifty years. It allows a country to integrate economically with other countries through a global network comprised of people, trade, and transportation. With the global landscape only becoming more intertwined, globalization and its inherent pros and cons seem to be here to stay. In many areas, global powers tend to lack in rectifying the negative aspects and only focus on the positive side. America, for example, is a leader in the globalization efforts, even though it has greatly effected job opportunities at home, widening income gaps, and an increased standard of living due to fluctuating world markets.

The reshaping of countries in the latter half of the twentieth century due to nationalist endeavours has resulted in a commonality across a wider spectrum. The wider spectrum is a globalised community that is able to interact and therefore increase the ‘market’ (if you like) of foreign fighters. Urri defines globalisation as the ‘increased density of international and global interactions, compared with such interactions at the local or national level’. The CIAs forecast in 2000 predicted some of the major affects of globalisation that is present today predicting ‘Globalisation's evolution will be rocky, marked by chronic financial volatility a widening economic divide where regions, countries, and groups feeling left behind face deepening economic stagnation, political instability, and cultural alienation. This will foster political, ethnic, ideological, and religious extremism, along with the violence that often accompanies it.’ As Cronin argues the trend of globalisation is seen as westernisation, secularism, democratisation, consumerism, and the growth of market capitalism, threatens what is perceived as the fundamental elements of certain societies, not to mention the uneven distributions of wealth as a result. The gap between social groups is prime territory for foreign fighters to step into to promote the common feelings and experience of the ill effects of globalisation. The frustrations of globalisation are gathered through global interactions and are able to gain momentum in what Malet describes as transnational communities. As Malet points out citing Tarrow, transnational social movements have grown in the latter half of the twenty-first century from one hundred in the 1950s to one thousand in 2003. This confirms that people now see themselves more as a part of a transnational community rather than a local one. Transnational communities are formed by frustrated individuals and groups who see themselves marginalised due to the macro changes initiated by increased global interactions. Access to global markets and communications have further perpetuated the sustainability of transitional organisations, strengthening these communities. Global interaction have enabled individuals and organisations to
