The Consequences Of Globalization

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

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.

The term globalization can be defined as a process by which societies, regional economies and cultures have been integrated via a global network of transportation, communication and trade. It has both positive and negative impacts in all the areas that it touches on be it economical, social, technology, cultural, political, environment, health or any other. Globalization started to have an impact on businesses world wide in the eighteenth century since that time marks the merging of modernity and globalization. However, in the modern sence, globalization kicked off after the end of Second World War since its during that time that leaders felt the urge to break down the borders

Does your friend that lives across the globe have the same branded shirt as you? Does she drink Starbucks every morning like you? Does she watch the same videos on YouTube like you? How does your friend have the same things as you but she is halfway across Earth? This is happening because the world has aided in the homogenization of people and culture. Through internet and other advancing technology and social media interaction among people has become easier. This process is known as cultural globalization because the whole world is leading to a single culture. Globalization should be stopped since it is making cultures lose their identity and significance in this world, and allows technology – todays manufacture and global media to gain control over small business and many different aspects of people’s life.

Globalization can best be defined as the shrinking of our world. As technology advances the gaps between Countries is closed, and our society as a whole becomes more integrated. Globalization is something that has been occurring for thousands of years, with one early example of Globalization being the use of the Silk Road, which connected China and Europe during the Middle Ages. Globalization can offer businesses many was to increase business, while at the same time threatening them (Globalization101.org, 2014).

Throughout the years, the issue of globalization has been condemned by many despite the countless benefits it provides around the world. Globalization has been proven more beneficial than detrimental due to its advantages to the environment, developments in a poor country, and the change and fluidity of cultures.

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.

Certainly, everyone should hear about globalization often from somewhere, but do you know what accurately mean? Globalization is a very serious international issue. Globalization is the “process of interdependence among the international countries and human, not only including the interaction of products, good and services, and outsourcing across the nation, but also including national political, immigration or citizen culture and environment, as well as economic” (Caraaugh, 2012). As we known, globalization influences our life every day. In this paper, I am going to discuss critically globalization economic important effect to people ‘s lives.

Globalization has become one of the most significant phenomena in current society. Globalization was defined by different sentences and theories in books, magazines and journals. However, it is difficult to define its intrinsic meaning in the real world. Different countries were affected dramatically by the process of globalization in diverse aspects such as economic aspect and cultural aspect. In addition, developed countries and developing countries may have diverse attitudes towards globalization based on their profits and costs. This essay will point out main reasons and consequences of globalization, and will state different opinions about globalization. At the end, statements and personal views of the sustainability of globalization will be demonstrated as well.

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.

Globalization encompasses the entire world, from developing countries to countries creating cutting edge technology. Globalization affects anyone who, uses the internet, reads a newspaper, or even shops at a large store owned by a transnational corporation. This source states that globalization has negative effects on the people that experience it. The source specifically references toward social globalization, which is the spread of culture and ideas through many communication channels such as television or films. The source argues that minority cultures fall victim to the strong presence of american culture in modern globalization. Culture is perceived to be important as it lays the groundwork for one's views, ideals, and perspective on the issues that we experience. Minority cultures lose strength as transnational companies open fast food restaurants that serve american style food, which are more popular for young people to eat at. Another way a culture could be pushed aside by american culture due to globalization is through the internet. It allows music, ideas, and other media to be spread easily. Many people would agree with the source. Such as isolated cultures that once exposed to modern globalization, experience loss of people who identify with them and continue that way of life. Others would argue that globalization is a good thing. As it has allowed for the easier spread of information, which could lead to positive effects as scientific and medical discoveries could be shared with the world quickly. Another argument in favour of globalization would be the fact that it promotes the development of technology which can lead to more efficient machines and more lives saved as methods of retrieving clean water improve. The source suggests that a way to protect cultures from globalization needs to be pursued. We should partially agree with the source, as globalization does impact culture and forces american ways onto people that don't live in america. But it is important to keep communication channels open, as they can be beneficial through the spread of information on medical and scientific research, which can save lives.

For many individual’s globalization is seen as being a process “of increasing of economic connections across various boarders around the world. It is a process that entails production and services of materials in which are usually outsourced across international borders.” (Das, 2017). Although globalization has the power to increase trade across the world, this has also resulted in multinational corporations using developing nations in order to obtain an efficient amount of production due to taking advantage of wages and working conditions (Boff, 1997). Thus, many corporations want to expand their companies overseas due to cheaper labour, and cheaper manufacturing processes. This, however, has affected the way in which individuals work,

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.

Jan Aart Scholte states that ‘Some people have associated globalization with progress, prosperity and peace. For others, however, the word has conjured up deprivation, disaster and doom.’ Globalization is truly a complex phenomenon. It indicates that the world today is getting smaller because people from all around the world are interconnect than before. Globalization is driven by a combination of economic, technological, sociocultural, and political factors. In this paper I will discuss the impact of globalization on society: at social, cultural, economic and political level. (Kivisto) (Viswanathan) (Pacific) (R.)

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.
