Apart from globalization, it was given several impacts to Belgium country. The impact on Belgium country was covered the various aspects such as economy, social, education, labor, and politics.
1.3.1 Economy Apart from globalization, it would give a big impact to the economic sector in the Belgium country, whether will give benefit to the nation or harm as well. One benefit of the globalization is can access a new market among the business worker are there. Based on Borio and Filardo (2006), Belgium’s economy is more dependent on international trade. Due to globalization, Belgium had implemented the free trade barriers in order to attract the investor from outsiders. The trade barriers was fall and make an interaction of market became closer. Based on Rie and Marx (2003), United States is a one of the main trading partner with the Belgium country. As we know United states is a major production of technology and machine, apart from that we can develop a new technology due to foreign investor enter the new technology then create a new product. Besides that, globalization also gives an effect on increasing the rate of the standard living of people in nations. Many investors came to Belgium and make an investment. Apart from that, the government had invested some amount to providing and establish an infrastructure in order to attract the foreign investor involve in the Belgium economy. Then, the people of that nation also will get benefit from that, indirectly they can
I believe globalization has brought forward positive aspects as well as negative aspects equally. However, the positive effects for one country can also result in a negative for another. Here are a few examples of how I see this happen, through globalization many economic opportunities are provided, this increases the standard of living for many; however these benefits are not worldwide and we continue to see that the wealthy are getting wealthier at the expense of others. Globalization benefits consumers by providing the best price possible through outsourcing goods around the world; this, however, takes business away from local companies and leaves many people without a job. Globalization provides knowledge of what is happening around the world through the advancements in technology and through the media making aid available in times of need and acknowledgment of the issues happening worldwide. The advancement in globalization has provided worldwide travel
Globalization reduces poverty and brings up the life expectancy. According to the World Bank, in 1994 India's poverty headcount ratio was 45.3% and in 2012 it has gotten two times better. Another improvement is Ethiopia. the World Bank headcount poverty was 45.5% in 1995 a study in 2011 shows it has gone down 29.6%. Globalization has helped other countries build up their economy because once they have a factory that originated from a US company they can give jobs to people in the different country.
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
Globalization can be defined as the movement towards economic, financial, trade and communications integration, allowing for a state of global interconnectedness. Globalization affects all countries in different ways. Globalization has had a positive impact on Canada. The Canadian economy has grown, international conflicts are becoming less prevalent, Canadian tourism has increased, Canadians have seen an unprecedented rate of cultural integration, even the life expectancy of Canadian citizens is due in part to the effects of Globalization. Canada has benefited greatly due to Globalization and this phenomenon will continue to impact Canada for the rest of time, until the world reaches the state of Globality.
There are many benefits from globalization. One benefit is more efficient markets, efficient markets means supply and demand. Efficient markets cause the economy to multiply, in a world like ours if the economy is increasing, every thing that is connected to it benefits. Another advantage of globalization is new solutions, globalization permits significant procedure to occur more efficiently and important ideas to become reality. It also allow use, the human race to push forward. On the other hand, the disadvantages of globalization are that someone always has to lose, and that the home team loses. Someone invariably has to lose since globalization is fundamentally a
The negative effects of globalization come like a fringe with its advantages. As countries companies and consumers are benefitted through globalization process, it is also bringing some disadvantages for them.
The other component that globalization greatly effects is culture. There is an exchange and spread of ideas such as religion, music, food, and traditions within different cultures. Globalization has increased the spread of popular culture easily and efficiently from the developed countries of the North throughout the world. Many media markets in undeveloped countries are saturated with productions from the Northern developed countries. Many have tried to silence the cultural expression, but due to the large globalization of our world the values and cultural taste are underway in the globalization process.
Globalization is something that has been occurring since early in the history of entrepreneurs, and something that will not be going away anytime soon. Businesses can enjoy many benefits from globalization that include an increased audience to market their products to, and quicker sharing of innovative ideas. The advantages of globalization are just as much a disadvantage. The increase in competition between domestic and foreign business has lead to a decrease in employment and an increase in outsourcing. Businesses need
There has been a great deal of discussion in recent years about globalization, its impact has been both praised and criticized. Globalization is defined as the process enabling financial and investment markets to operate internationally, largely as a result of deregulation and improved communications. I believe the technological advances have had a positive impact on globalization. The use of cellular/mobile phones and the internet have allowed easier access to conduct business anywhere in the world.
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.
Trade, foreign direct investment, and financial capital are three positive effects of the global economy. An example of economic globalization is, when major trades of goods are being transported from country to country. Some practices made by large transnational corporations have a negative effect. With the lowering of market costs, global scope, brand image consistency, quick and efficient use of ideas, and uniformity in marketing practices, globalization can be have a beneficial effect. In brief, the global spread of some values, beliefs and practices have negative and positive effects on the people and their cultures.
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.
Continuing on with the positive economic effects of globalization, the economy puts forward a net benefit to the individual economies around the world. It does so by making the markets more efficient, increasing the competition, as well as spreading wealth around the world on a more equal playing field so that all countries have some kind of reward. This makes all countries want to strive to do well and for their superiors to do well also. International trade benefits us by having foods all year round, cheaper products, and allows countries to focus on their strengths and trade for the things they can’t make cost effectively on their own.
Economic globalization has become the most important feature and a general trend of present world economic development. Globalization is a phenomenon and also a process of development of mankind and human society (Hamilton, 2008). It is the essential feature of the modern age. Globalization is the cross-border flows of capital and goods, including capital, labour, technology and natural resources (Bożyk, Misala & Puławski, 2002). Economic globalization is a historical process, and the germination of it could date back to the 16th century. After the industrial revolution, capitalist commodity economy, modern industry and transportation have been developing rapidly. The world market was fast expanded and the foreign trade was
Up to now the literature review has given an insight into the concept of globalization, and the understanding of several academics in the light of how this phenomenon developed over the years. It is then essential to cover what the economic benefits of globalization are, and how these may impact a sector or company. Most of the literature study’s that have been written on the economic benefits of globalization have been after 2006. The reason is because the studies used the globalization index which was created by Dreher (2006) then further developed by Dreher (2008) again. Many of the empirical studies used this index as indicator as a base to form their findings.
