Reflection About Globalization

Globalization is when a business is trying to create a market that is heard of across the globe. Globalization allows you to trade with other nations if they meet the requirements of the World Trade Organization. This allows the country to send goods that they are well known for to countries that can not make that same good. Globalization applies to this class because it allows me to learn about what it is and how it affects more nations than just the United States. Globalization impacts us internationally because of the trades the U.S. makes with other countries across the globe. The way people feel about globalization is affected by the domestic influence on how they feel about certain things and their

The issue of globalization for the people of the United States has been a long and terrifying problem for them. Although other countries many have had issues with this problem it appears the U.S. is still being affected by it to this day. Although not everyone in the United States may have been affected by the issue. Majority of the people (mid class and lower class) have somehow been affected by it or knows someone that has been affect because of it. This issue of globalization has been talked about by politicians so it appears it had to been a major impact to the country. Thus, this issue of globalization has been an issue for the United States for a long-time way before the twentieth centuries. Therefore, this paper will discuss what is globalization and how it has impacted Americans views and how some people’s views changed because of it and finally, what is the impact of communications technology. All these key topics will help with getting a better understanding of what these issue is and how it has affected society today.

Individual Identity: Every year my family tries to take a trip back to China in order to see family. On trip back played a big role in shaping my identity. In the summer of 2012 I had the daunting task of travelling alone China. This consisted of mastering the Chinese phrases needed to guide me along the way and some way of figuring out how to transfer flights. Surprisingly the hardest part was not finding my way it was merely being alone I found that I got very lonely in the long 14 hour trip and I needed to find a way to occupy myself in order to avoid loneliness. The things I learned from being lonely help form my identity. I found that the more I tried to push away the loneliness the more it just came

Globalization became fact of life and inevitable, we all heard the world became a small village or the globe is shrinking. Even the most conservative countries such as Saudi Arabia or China you can see signs of globalization such as Macdonald or KFC or Four Seasons In Syria; not only that, but Chinese, Indian and Thai food became very popular out west to the point where you will find plenty of fast food such as EDO, Thai express or Mandarin Restaurant chain. Countries can no longer live in silos; most of the countries are open or started to open its door to the world including Iran with their recent peace talk.

If you were to travel anywhere in the world and ask their people what “McDonalds” is, the likelihood of that person knowing the renowned food chain is skyrocketing by year. This is because of Americanization, which is basically the spreading of American cultures and traditions. Americanization is one of the biggest parts of globalization to date. Globalization is the idea of countries getting more and more involved with each other; becoming more and more interconnected. Essentially, increased globalization has a severe impact on several different aspects of general life, but overall, the effects are far more positive.

In this paper you will understand the shift of the development to the globalization project. In doing so you will learn what “globalization” means as a project and as a process and why it is described as being in crisis. Next you will learn about the financial and farming dimensions of the problems confronting the globalization project. With that you will thirdly learn about how global warming presents multiple challenges to globalization. I will also discuss the emergent “sustainability project”, with particular attention to agricultural, “green technology” and environmental movements. Lastly I will analyze how terrorism and the emergence of Trumpismo complicates all of this.

Globalization is the process in which a world-wide circulation of goods, ideas, and people takes place. Historically, there were two periods of profound expansion, the 15th and 16th century and 20th and 21st century. In both cases, these eras of globalization were preceded by periods of enriched thinking, sharing, and scientific revolutions. The renaissance is a prime example of an era when ideas and knowledge flourished and spread throughout Europe. This newfound age of discovery resulted in global territorial and population alterations. The renaissance spurred the discoveries of land and resources and their subsequent importance in achieving objective of western supremacy. Consequently, a wave of innovation assembled new navigational techniques and stimulated the mass manufacture of ships. The first glimpse of globalization, was the driving forces of “serving God, the King and also to get rich” and the centers were Spain and Portugal followed by the Netherlands and England (Strayer pg.621). During the 15th century, empires expanded, commerce thrived and ideas were nourished. The Industrial Revolution took old and western nations began a new round of empire building in Asia and Africa, that global network tightened further, and its role as generator of social and cultural change only increased. (Of the 19th century spurred the technological advances of communication and transportation which disbanded the barriers of distance and time.) Moving into the 20th century,

Globalization theory is defined as an approach that addresses the development of the global resurgence of religion (Christiano et al., 2016). With the resurgence of religion came Fundamentalism, which originated in American Protestantism. Fundamentalists where known for practicing the essential fundamentals of Christianity, fighting back the modernization of religion.

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.

There are many ways to look at and understand modern globalization. In general terms, globalization means that the world, as a whole, is leading to a more utopian society, meaning that the globe is become very interconnected and similarities are growing between different regions and cultures of the world. Globalization is a phenomenon that has been evolving since before 10,000 B.C. This constant evolution can cause many problems, but it can also solve many issues positively as well. Development of any country, however, seems to be a key issue when discussing globalization. Globalization and development present two different factors in the world today. Many countries are lacking in their own development while the world around them is becoming more developed and globalized. Globalization hinders development because with globalization, less developed countries depend on more developed countries to help them to sustainability and self-reliance.

Particularly concerned with inflation, even though may overfocus on this to the detriment of growth and development (Ethiopia example on page 28-31)

Globalization brings together different cultures. In the article Globalization A Very Short Introduction the author Manfred B.Steger states “conversely, the term globalization should be used to refer to a set of social processes that are thought to transform our present social condition into one of globality”. Steger also states that globalization was supposed to expand nationality, but it was used more as a political power to reduce restrictions on trade and this is where the logic of development behind NAFTA came about. Globalization is a shifting of different contact, this is exemplified in the country of Guatemala.

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.

Chelsey, you have a great point regarding the majority of individuals are so wrapped up in the here and now and have no idea about anything outside of their four walls. In just reading the first chapter of this textbook, even though I don’t understand everything in it I have gained more knowledge and understanding on the various cultures and human geography I would have never been exposed to otherwise. After reading the section in our textbook on globalization for example opened my eyes to I am truly affected by globalization, from the clothes I have on my body to the laptop, books and cell phone I have at my fingertips. Companies are able to make the most profit and keep prices reasonable if they globalize. Even though globalization is shown to be a positive advantage for the core countries that are industrialized commercialism versus the developing countries that rely on labor given to them. In doing so, globalization has caused an uneven development issue to arise in the poorer countries causing them to migrate to find work to make a living. While doing some more research on globalization, I came across a way globalization has benefited a third world country called Pakistan also known as a periphery country. Namal College has teamed up with the University of Bradford and now has access to high quality education through the internet and other electronic gadgets to help the less privilege people to get a better schooling. Many cultures traditions such as food is

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.
