Impact Of Globalization

Finally, globalization has given way to human development through culture integration, information sharing, and competition between countries. As people disperse from their native countries they take with them their culture and ideologies. At the same time technology is rapidly advancing, allowing information to be instantaneously shared across the globe. These events culminate in the diversification of society. As opposed to living with one view of the world people can now choose from any number of beliefs or views and find others that share them.

Lastly, religions play an important role too by gathering people scattered across the globe under an identical cosmology, thus creating imagined communities (Anderson, 1983). Globalization, by connecting people through the media, also creates such a community: inhabitants of the world share the idea of a global community and an international identity. This is why we could define globalization as the compression of time and space (Harvey, 1983). Communications as well as people can travel at an ever increasing speed, thereby giving the impression that every corner of the world is at hand. The main thesis about globalization argues that it leads to a phenomenon of homogenization. My hypothesis however is that some cultures are so different and so deeply rooted in their environment that they can't simply be erased. They will be modified, influenced but not standardized under one unique model. This will lead to hybrid products, thereby proving the hypothesis of glocalization, introduced by

Fortunately, many places in the world are covered with people who posses tons of possessions. From cellphones, to computers, different types of attire clothes, vehicles, furniture, electrical machinery, plastics, footwear and much more, China is one of the most largest goods exporting countries in the world. Have you ever look at the bottom of any particular item you own and saw the three words of “Made In China” on the majority of those items? China is a very large manufacturing piece of land that exports the many items that we see and posses in our country of the United States. Due to trades, imports, exports and agreements, Globalization, which is the process where businesses, industries and organizations develop the international

Transnational criminals have been one of the biggest beneficiaries of globalization (Stewart, 2012, para2). Globalization means that whole countries are becoming one single world as boosting interdependence in international society. In other words, it is the phenomenon that economy of nation states has become weak, and all over the world integrate into an one community centering on economic markets. However, different from an intrinsic mean, images of globalization have been changed to pessimistic perspective because a lot of criminals have been offered illicit benefits from there. More serious problems are they exploiting globalization on decidedly worst crimes, and governments cannot delay the speed of global crimes, let alone that solving this issue because of these reasons. So, many kinds of crimes such as, human trafficking, drug smuggling, and cybercrime that worked with organized crime have been accelerating with the dramatic growth of globalization.

A transnational corporation is a large company that has a head office in one country and subsidiary offices in other country. The impacts of TNCs are important because they are responsible for employing 40 million people worldwide, have controlled over 75 percent of world trade and effects the world in many ways. TNCs have a great impact on many countries but more specifically, developing countries. A developing country is a poor country of the world where many people have a low standard of living – seeking to become more advanced economically and socially. Some examples of developing countries are: Jamaica, Nigeria, India, China, Bangladesh, China and Afghanistan. There are some good effects of TNCs although there are many terrible impacts too. The two impacts that will be discussed in this report are sweatshops and environmental issues, leading to a low life expectancy.

Globalization is defined by Helena Norberg-Hodge, Steven Gorelick, and John Page as, “the deregulation of trade and finance in order to enable businesses and banks to operate globally. And the emergence of a single world market dominated by transnational companies” (The Economics of Happiness). Despite this un-alarming definition, Katherine Cullen believes the truth behind globalization is much more harmful. According to Cullen, globalization is detrimental to our economy, our climate, and our happiness and well-being. She argues that globalization has destructive practices, and due to, “the promotion of market economies and a consumer lifestyle [globalization disconnects] people from the natural world and fundamental connections absolutely necessary for people to be happy” (Cullen). She also notes that corporations, who are promoting globalization to for financial gain, try and push “cruel advertising” (Cullen) in other regions to endorse the American consumerist culture (Cullen). By doing this, corporations are, “deciding what our culture[s] [are] to increase profit” (Cullen). Cullen claims that corporations use other cultures for financial gain by drain those regions of their resources while transporting mass amounts of goods into the United States. This is why Cullen argues that globalization results in the acceleration of climate change. The act of transporting goods to and from the U.S. emits large amounts of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere (Cullen), resulting in

Smallpox, slavery and extinction is what globalization brought to the native americans. Yes it had its good fruits, but the bad ones far outweigh the goods ones. Globalization is the movement of goods, capital, services, people, technology and information. It is the action or procedure of international integration of countries arising from the convergence of world views, products, ideas, and other aspects of culture. Advances in the means of transport (such as the steam locomotive, steamship, jet engine, and container ships) and in telecommunications infrastructure (including the rise of the telegraph and its modern offspring, the Internet and mobile phones) have been major factors in globalization, generating further interdependence of economic and cultural activities. Globalization is largely overlooked by people and governments alike which has lead to a neglect of the negative effects it has on native and local traditions, customs and cultures. Globalization decimates local culture because more often than not, the bad outweighs the good. Globalization is happening rapidly but the global government lacks the means to regulate and direct it toward useful and beneficial results.

Industries reach all around the world for their business, going by the name of globalization. Not only does it affect their companies, but outside there are communities that are deeply affected by globalization. Globalization has made a big impact around the world that most countries depend success on business around the world. Although there are the benefits from globalization communities in third world countries are still trying to catch up on development. Globalization is furthering the gap between a growing community by pushing the loose pay rates, the safety of workers, the child labor laws, and the environment. With these consequences as a developed community should help third world countries struggling to incorporate globalization in their community.

Globalization is a process that connected the world and has exposed people to one another. According to Campbell, globalization is defined as a “complex web of social processes that intensify and expand worldwide economic, cultural, political, and technological exchanges and connections” (Campbell & et al, 2010, pg. 4). It has become easier to connect with people all over the world and mix cultures. Globalization creates new social networks, multiplies existing connections, expands and stretches social relations and connections, intensifies and accelerates social exchange, and appears as objective and subjective plane (Steger, p.9-15). It has become a new way of life for modern people and it would be impossible for nations to become isolated again.

Globalisation is disputably the most vital factor currently shaping the world economy. Although it is not a new phenomenon (waves of globalisation can be traced back to the 1800s) the changes it is bringing about now occur far more rapidly, spread more widely and have a much greater business, economic and social impact than ever before.

Globalization is a very controversial issue that has attracted massive attention in the past few decades. Globalization has impacted people across the world in personal, social, political and economic fields. The effects of globalization are numerous. People across one country today eat from the same restaurants, wear the same clothes, speak the same language and drive the same car as people from the opposite side of the globe. Instant communication with people is easier today than ever. The consequences of this rapid globalization are subject to interpretation. People, in general, tend to be biased about the net results of globalization. World leaders, however, have taken tangible steps towards encouraging a peaceful globalization.

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.

Globalization involves the movement of people, goods, ideas and information across national boundaries. It has been defined as the intensification of worldwide social relations which link distant localities in such a way that local happenings are shaped by events occurring many miles away and vice versa. Today it is the globalization of production that is most influential in influencing and moulding family relationships and the aim is to understand its effects on families with especial reference to the developing world.

Globalization gives people the opportunity to explore other cultures and understand others’ values through media, art, music, songs, and traveling. It increases acceptance of religions, cultures, and beliefs. In addition, with major technological advancements, communication has become faster and more efficient. The movement toward wireless communication has led to a greater access and
