How Globalization Changed America

More than six billion individuals live on planet Earth. As the populace develops, we are taking increasingly land to live and utilizing a greater amount of the world's characteristic assets. Numerous human exercises likewise create POLLUTION, which is harming the Earth's surroundings.

Globalization has, for better or worse, altered the economic arena for every country in the world. For many less developed countries, globalization has leveled the playing field so that their economies can compete with the larger, more developed ones such as the United States and other large western economies. For instance, technical engineers in India and China are now just as qualified as engineers in America, but at half the cost. The once large and prosperous service sector in the United States as well as telemarketing services have largely been sourced to India as a large exodus of American multinational corporations find cheaper workers who deliver comparable quality. This then seems to be the essence of globalization - businesses

Thirdly, globalization has also effects on human socially, in their cultural and way of thinking. As countries always need to corporate with each other when they do some investment or business together, as neighbors engage in communication to determine their shared goals, and how they wish to live. Therefore globalization allows humanity to work together as a team towards noble goals rather than as individuals grasping to meet their own needs. Countries can bond to each others more closely. This way, interacting between different races and religion facilitates and we can understand

The globalization is important is because it helps a community in gaining international recognition. Globalization gets people all over the world all sorts of materials like food and cloth because companies and people and governments interact with different nations. Globalization could be positive and negative to many people around the world. Some positive things globalization does is boost the ongoing competition between countries all over the world. Globalization helps out the United States with material and cloth by example when people in the United States look at their shirts they will most likely see "Made In China".

It has become increasing undeniable that the process of globalization is present, and a strong force in the international market. “Globalization”, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, is defined as, “ the development of an increasingly global economy especially by free trade, free flow of capital, and the tapping of cheaper foreign labor markets”. Before the start of the 1990’s, the United States had little competition in the international marketplace, and was as strong as ever. Globalization has opened the international market to cheap land and labor outside the United States. Corporations and businesses have outsourced many jobs from the United States labor markets, at the expense of United States labor. One of the biggest questions facing America today is if it is ready for Globalization. I believe that we are not ready for a variety of reasons, but there are a few that stand out in my mind. The top factors concerning the U.S. are ineffective nature of Congress, U.S. national debt, and overseas outsourcing.

The world we live in today is going through enormous changes in economics, technology, culture, politics, etc. The effects of the changes are not so clear, since it is hard to predict how each sector would affect the other and how society will be affected. However, analyzing past and present occurrences provides some information for experts to interpret society’s reaction in the future to different transformations. Globalization can be seen as a process in which societies around the world come together and expand through the combination of different forces. This paper will explore the effects of globalization on US companies, US society and economy, and the implications for other countries in the post-industrial world.

The Economy is also affected by Globalization both negitively and positivley with globalization in the economy companies can produce goods in the country that will produce it for the lowest fee, the downside is it can create a loss of jobs and ship them elsewhere. Another big one that Globalization affects is Politics, some use globalization to mean “the creation of a world government which regulates the relationships among governments and guarantees the rights arising from social and economic globalization”. The united states has been the lead political power in politcal globalization. Globalization can affect the world in many Different ways both negitively and positively. Terroism also affects the world today in a major way, there are many types of terroism such as state terroism, political terroism, non-polital terrroism, civil disorder,Religious terrorism ect. The most well known terrosit attack is “9/11” in which 4 terroist in 2001 ran two commercial airplanes into the Twin Towers killing hundreds even thousands of people instantly and years down the road. “9/11” is a great example of terorism that affects the world economically, politically and

The same goes for trading our current trade laws restrict us from reaching our full potential. U.S. trade as a percentage of GDP is lower than that of every other developed country in the world. As the forces of globalization have reshaped the global economy, there has been increasing resistance to trade liberalization

On the 17th of December 2010 a young street vendor from Tunisia, frustrated, set himself on fire, and died a few weeks later as an infliction of this self-immolation. Mohamed Bouazizi became a symbol of freedom, and his later death was dubbed as part of a group of "heroic martyrs of a new Middle Eastern revolution."1 These young men and women, whose pictures and names became national icons, were from all over the Arab world. They were all after the same thing; an end to the suppressive evil that they have witnessed throughout most of their lives and to many their entire lives.

Globalization has welcomed the production and dispensation of goods and services across international borders. The globalization process allows nations to have access to certain products that they would not otherwise have. However, there are consequences to this new development, one of which includes competition between local and foreign goods and producers. When foreign food is available to the market, it is often sold at a cheaper price and this normally replaces local farmers and the food they produce. Globalization has more so increased trade in cultural products and services internationally. These products and services include music, films and publications and with this revelation of cultural products from other nations, comes the undermining

Globalization has changed the way we do business. Balaam and Dillman point out how interconnected we are with other countries through technology. The end of the Cold War and the fall of the Berlin Wall marks the start of the globalization. Also, when Reagan and Thatcher in the 1980s promoted free trade and economic liberalization. Many people saw the benefits of globalization, connecting with people in a new way than ever before, connecting with people from different cultures. Further, globalization provides us with new investment opportunities, enables us to easily transfer capital from one country to another, and increase productivity (production efficiency).

The rise of globalization following WWII generated three important factors that define today’s world. McNeill and McNeill agree with Pollard, Rosenberg, and Tignor that multiple economic changes, such as the creation of financial institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) contributed to the globalization of the world economy. Carter and Warren further this argument by claiming that globalization has caused shifts in the modern economy, namely the rise of Asian economic powers. However, all three historians agree that the rise of globalization goes hand in hand with the rise of inequality in today’s world. Gaps in power, wealth, and access to information have only widened due to the trend of globalization. The final key factor defining our world today are the ongoing processes affecting development countries. McNeill and McNeill argue similarly to Carter and Warren that the end of imperialism generated new nations who quickly realized the free market was a pathway to stability. However, Pollard et al. and McNeill and McNeill place importance on financial institutions like the IMF forcing developing nations to reform their economies to be subservient to the world’s economy. Together, these historians argue that the trend of globalization following WWII caused factors like the modern global economy, the rise in inequality, and the development of new, decolonized nations to be key determiners in the world today.

As international business cannot make profit in a new market if remained unchanged in this wave of fast-changing globalization, localization helps them adapt to their new international markets and effectively gain the most out of this process. If localizing in the era of globalization is so helpful, why can’t countries as a whole also learn from it to better adapt to the macro-environment of economic globalization? Glocalization, as stated by sociologist Roland Robertson, “the simultaneity – the co-presence – of both universalizing and particularizing tendencies,” can be applied beyond business to reduce existing income inequalities in the world caused by disparity among countries’ development. To promote glocalization, local government should understand its country’s internal factors so that it can enact changes to its infrastructure to adapt to economic globalization and solve accompanying challenges such as increased income inequality within the country.

People around the world are more connected to each other than ever before. Information and money flow quicker than ever. Products produced in one part of a country are available to the rest of the world. It is much easier for people to travel, communicate and do business internationally. This whole phenomenon has been called globalization. Spurred on in the past by merchants, explorers, colonialists and internationalists, globalization has in more recent times been increasing rapidly due to improvements in communications, information and transport technology. It has also been encouraged by trade liberalization and financial market deregulation.

Globalization influences many aspects of human life, it is a process of change, the process of collaboration and integration among the people and businesses of different nations, it is a process propelled by trade, investment and technology. The process of globalization has great purpose for bring people together and sharing ideas however, it has effects on the environment, culture, the economy, politics and the human population (Globalization 101). Globalization has effected the environment due to human productivity; cars, technology, mining, farming and the advancements of different products. Globalization has effected culture due to the diffusion of ideas, beliefs and values around the world extending the social relationships with people around the world. Globalization has also effected the economy in the assimilation and cooperation of local, regional and national economies around the world. Globalization has also effected the world of politics and the collaboration of different governments in political affairs and policies. Globalization has also impacted the human population due to the migration of people around the world, changes in birth rates and also in the rate at which the elderly are passing due to improvements in medicine. Although globalization provides societies with ways of interacting and sharing ideas; it is causing harm to our planet in the way of global warming. Globalization effects many aspects of life such as in culture, the economy, politics and the
