Impact Of Globalization On People, Cultures, Economies And Politics Worldwide

For decades till today, the word of “Globalization” has been a controversial topic between the nations. Some people are against and the others are for it. In simple words, the meaning of globalization is the merging of all the world to become a small village, and that is surely will lead to more interaction between the people from different parts of the world.

When i was 7 years old, my family and I moved to United States where my parents believed my sister and I would have better “education opportunities.” Being raised in a whole different culture than where i was born made the person who I am today. My parents traditional Korean culture and the American culture has taught me how to integrate different perspectives, how to value every individual's culture, and how to listen, communicate and understand an individual more thoroughly and carefully. Even though i did not agree to all the cultural aspects that my parents expected me to follow, they imparted me with values, such as sympathy and respect to others, stressing the importance of giving back to the community. Through these assets, beliefs,

Third culture kids, defined as children who are members of expatriate families who reside outside of their passport country for varied periods of time, belong to a group of unique people as a result of the immigrants. [1] Most third culture kids spend several years adapting to a new environment. And while they getting back to origin, they will suffer cultural shock as they get used to the previous environment. By their particular way of growth, third culture kids have broader global horizons. They are easy to get along with all people, while they have certain sensitiveness to other cultures. [2] For one thing, third culture kids have internal cultural conflict. [3] They can’t ensure where they come from, or where they belong to. They can use

When we talk about third culture kids, they are mainly children whose parents have been out of their own culture for certain reasons, such as military and traveling for a business job. Third culture kids are always changing, and that means that we are noticing them more often. There are so many more people working internationally every single year. It never stops growing. Also, when these TCKs grow older, they start to speak up about themselves as a third culture adult. Finally, third culture kids are very normal in these days and important…There have been many benefits of being a third culture kid, but sadly, there have been negative experiences occurring in their lives that it eliminates many of their own

Globalisation is a phenomenon that has been increasingly used in the lexicon since the latter half of the 1980’s, achieving widespread and common currency amongst politicians, political analysts, academics, economists, the media, business, trade and finance. The term has become synonymous with the “global village” concept, where nations and states are drawn closer together; where economic, political and cultural spheres extend across the world’s major regions and continents. A world where development in one part of the globe will impact life in another part of the globe.

This report basically discuss about the influence on Globalisation towards government, business and civil society. Findings and discussion will focus on China and Vietnam. Hence, to further look into the transformation of both countries and how reformation and globalisation has contributed to the current environment of these countries, as well as the advantages, opportunities and threats for them. Finally the report will talk about how neoliberalism has caused imbalance between countries and has formed inequality and unhealthy competitions. “Beijing Consensus” model is used as recommendations.

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

Third culture kids (TCK) were originally referred to as ‘global nomads’ or transculturals’, however, these terms have changed over time (Fail, Thompson, & Walker, 2004). Pollock (2010) defines third culture kids as “individuals who, having spent a significant part of the developmental years in a culture other than the parents’ culture, develops a sense of relationship to all of the cultures while not having full ownership in any. Elements from each culture are incorporated into the life experience, but the sense of belonging is in relationship to others of similar experience” (Pollock & Van Reken, 2010). Pollock explains that TCK in most cases spend part of their childhood in cultures other than their own. There are four subgroups of TCK: children of government diplomats, children of military personnel, children of international business people, and children of missionaries (Pollock & Van Reken, 2010).

China takes a huge role in the global economy. If you will pay attention on any goods around, it can be noticed that the majority of products produced in China. The economic system in this country is enormous. In the 21st century, no country has attracted as much attention to itself as China. In an amazingly short period of time, China increased economical level of the country and developed itself rapidly, however for most modern advanced countries this process took centuries. Every year China increased its impact on the world economy and politics and still doing so. If earlier this influence was only related to the growing share of China in world trade, GDP and manufacturing, in the second decade of the 21st century Beijing started to effectively use the process of globalization for its economic recovery. China began to pursue a policy of restructuring the global rules in accordance with Chinese interests. Due to this, China has influenced some significant impacts on other countries and world economy.

If I focus on only one negative consequence of globalization then I will choose dish cable where you can share entertain channels all over the world. Every country has their own culture and tradition. In some countries some activities are acceptable but for others are prohibited. For example having boy and girl friend is normal in western society but it is prohibited in Arab nations or Middle East or Muslim Nations. Other example I can think of is that pre-marital relationship which is normal in some countries but it is prohibited in Arab nations or Muslim Nations. Why it is problematic? Because it may create infected diseases around the world. For instances if people are open to have relationship with multiple partner it will create sexual infected diseases. There are so many sexual disease because of open relationship. Some are fatal infected disease such as HIV and AIDs. AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is an incurable disease that destroys the patient’s immune system. AIDS

Globalization can be described as the interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations (http://www.globalization101.org/what-is-globalization/). For the past century, there have been countless debates over whether the effects of globalization are positive or negative. The topic of globalization is seen as one of the most debatable topics in our current society and is often discussed during political debates before elections. This paper will focus on the negative effects of globalization and the chaotic impact it can have on countries across the globe. Globalization is one of the main causes of the spread of infectious diseases that can often lead to fatal outcomes and a sense of fear felt throughout an entire nation. Infectious diseases are the leading cause of death among children and adolescents, and are one of the leading causes of death among adults (Infectious disease: a persistent threat). Examples of these infectious diseases that became widespread due to globalization include: the Bubonic Plague, Measles, Smallpox, Malaria, Tuberculosis, and most recently, the Ebola virus of 2014. All of these diseases were direct results of globalization, caused millions of deaths, and established a state of panic within the countries affected.

As individuals global forces drive our lives but to what extent do these forces influence and shape the world? Globalisation is described by the financial times to be the ‘process by which national and regional economies, societies, and cultures have become integrated through the global network of trade, communication, immigration and transportation.’ Integration across the planet brings every individual together with a shared sense of purpose where as interdependency goes beyond this. It implies that we rely on and need each other. Across the world there is an interdependency through all countries that needs to be there for the world to function effectively. The pace and intensity of globalisation has transformed over recent years. My generation may not see the change as it has been part of our lives since birth but older generations may have saw the rise of globalisation throughout their time. Even though this transformation has happened it is still important to remember that some segments of the world are more globally connected than others.

Globalization, has taken place for centuries, is the shrinking of geographic that accelerate the flows of money, goods, people and culture around the planet. Migration came when people move between countries either temporarily or permanently, to seek education and employment or to escape adverse political, environments. Culture and globalization have infinite impact on each other. Humans have never been closer together than we are today. Globalization, started from the intercontinental migration taken place in early modern age, impacted by economic and politic; it is also the driving force for international trade and rapid improvement of communication.

It is without a doubt that the world today has become a “Global village”. Nobody wants to do or wear or even eat something that’s old news, all are out to get the “new” thing in the market. People in every corner of the world have access to similar services and products. Let it be fashion, entertainment of even food. Everybody is adopting similar habits. That’s the power of globalization. Globalization is the process by which the world is interconnected through technology and powerful infrastructure for the purpose of communicating and managing resources. Globalization seems to talk about several vibrant phenomena which ensure two major components. Firstly, they function across national boundaries and secondly, they result in higher incorporation or interdependence of human societies. It is therefore one aspect of development that affects the world in general, from every point of human view. However, this did not happen overnight. Many companies were a part of this process. Unilever being the biggest out of them all. It is one of the strongest and healthiest companies in the world with multiple successful brands. This further allows the company to expand into foreign markets in order to gain access to customers around the world. The strength of the company lies in its key four global brands Dove, Sunsilk, Rexona and Lux.

Globalization has been happening for several centuries. From a sociologi-cal perspective, “Globalization…is an ongoing process that involves inter-connected changes in the economic, cultural, social, and political spheres of society. As a process, it involves the ever-increasing integration of these aspects between nations, regions, communities, and even seeming-ly isolated places” (Cole, 2017). Globalization is plays an progressively vital part in the way that nations are developing. It can be observed globalization has positive benefits which include financial procedures, technological enhancements, political impacts, health services and social variables. However, it is not always the case that all influences of this phenomenon are advantageous. globalization has introduced contempo-rary challenges consisting of insecurity in business and money associated markets over and inside countries. Global village first proposed by Mar-shall McLuhan and it is “A name for the world, used to emphasize the de-gree to which everything is connected and each part depends on the oth-ers”(Longman). This essay will argue advantages and disadvantages of this phenomenon in social and economic view.
