The Impact Of Globalization In China

In the book, “Where am I wearing” written by Kelsey Timmerman goes on a adventure to find out where and who made the clothes that he wears everyday. Kelsey Timmerman believes that the people impacted by globalization encounter more problems and struggles than someone in a non globalized country. Did you know that the average amount someone is china makes per hour is one dollar and thirty six cents compared to the U.S where on average they make twenty three dollars and thirty two cents per hour. Even though the men and women in china are working roughly 3.6 hours more than people in the U.S.

Where am I Wearing: A Global Tour to the Countries, Factories, and People that Make Our Clothes- Revised and Updated, written by Kelsey Timmerman, published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. in Hoboken, New Jersey during the year 2012, and consisting of 283 pages, addresses the issue of globalization. Globalization, or previously domestically made products now being produced in factories in foreign countries, is a rising issue in the modern age; many people believe that it leads to American unemployment, shoddy products, and the inhumane treatment of workers, while others argue that globalization boosts the economies of poverty-stricken countries and the production of technologically advanced goods.

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 world economy has improved rapidly as a result of globalization in past decades. However, many environmental problems began to emerge during the economic boom. Especially, in the middle of the 20th century after World War II, many countries restarted economic development and urban construction. At this time, severe air pollution influenced a number of regions. For instance, London was affected by a critical air pollution event, called the Great Smog of London, in December 1952. During a week, 4000 people had died as a direct result of smog and over 100000 were got ill by the human respiratory tract. Subsequently, from 1978 to now, China has seen a great amount of economic increase, with its gross domestic product (GDP) expanding hundreds time since the reform and opening up. Although China has obtained a huge progress with the globalization, it has resulted in a series of environmental problems at the same time. The aim of the essay is to discover how the globalization affected the environment on air pollution, soil pollution and biological invasion in China. And I intend to analyze the instances of the connection between air

Globalization is the process of the world becoming more connected. This process comes with major pros and some major cons. One country that suffers greatly from a negative consequence of globalization is China. China is currently suffering from air pollution. Air pollution has negative affects on both health and the environment. Although China is impacted negatively, the world impact overall, is positive.

• The enormous surplus of labor in China imperils workers worldwide as international competition puts incessant downward pressure on wages and working conditions, leading the apparel and textile industries to favor the cheapest and most Draconian producers.

Throughout the past decade, China has been an engaging end for worldwide enterprises because of its low pay rates, however China is still unable to carry out the guidelines for international labor laws. Regardless of the insufficiencies of Chinese law, the legislature now permits strikes. (AFL-CIO 2016) The minimum wage approved by law rates might consider the particular exchanges of a each state, and diverse the lowest pay permitted by law rates might be settled for regions with different financial progress levels and for various exchanges. (Lehman, Lee & Xu November 24, 1993) Therefore, Chinese wages are rising. This is something worth being thankful in both Chinese working families and for laborers in different nations that compete with China in the clothing industry. (AFL-CIO 2016) This shows that even though China is not yet following labor laws for the wages dispersed to their workers, they are continuously improving. Clothing manufacturing consists of more than just

Globalization means economic,social,culture and communications integration become integrated with each countries. All of the president very concerned about the benefit which globalization bring to them especially economic globalization.However,it will cause a loss that can not be overlooked if we are indiscriminate.

Globalization is a process that refers to the increased integration between different countries and economies as well as the increased impact of international influences on all aspects of life and economic activity. Over the last 50 years, globalization has had a tremendous impact on the Chinese economy. The impacts brought forth by globalization can be both positive and negative and effect both economic performance, economic growth and the development of China’s economy. Globalization is the main factor responsible for China’s significant growth that has taken place over the last two decades. However, globalization itself is not entirely responsible. The Chinese economy has also implemented strategies which have been very effective in promoting economic growth and development. These strategies include the implantation of“Open door policy”, “Reformation” of China’s agricultural system and joining the World Trade Organisation.

Globalization has greatly affected how connected countries around the world are with new technology that has enhanced transportation and communication. Like many things, globalization has both positive and negative effects. In recent study, globalization has influenced the growth of the Chinese economy by an astronomical rate, although, this rapid growth has led to high and increasing levels of pollution in China's largest cities due to growing industrialization. Due to globalization, pollution in China is a growing cause of concern and could rise to dangerous levels if no type of action is taken.

Some cities in China like Shanghai, Guangzhou and Tianjin were semi-colonized, but most of China wasn't directly controlled by foreign powers unlike India who was under the control of the British empire. China was one country unified culturally, politically and economically thus making it difficult for foreign powers to take control over it. With globalization starting to take place in the Middle East and Asia, certain insular countries like China and Japan started to open up their borders to foreign nations. With globalization, the West started to influence the east in various was one of them was in religion. The West brought Christianity with them and started to actively convert

Globalization is far reaching in this day and age. Globalization is the worldwide flow of goods, services, money, people, information, and culture. It leads to a greater interdependence and mutual awareness among the people of the world (Tischler, 2011, 2007, p. 430). One non-Western culture that has been impacted by globalization is China. An example of the impact of globalization on China is their economy. Since joining the World Trade Organization, China has transformed from a culture that relied on economic self-sufficiency and shunned the thought of globalization to an economy that is progressively more open to trade and foreign investment.

“Inside the factory, amid clattering machinery and clouds of sawdust, men without earplugs or protective goggles feed wood into screaming electric saws, making cabinets for stereo speakers” (Goodman and Pan 1). In the article Chinese Workers Pay for Wal-Mart’s Low Prices by Peter Goodman and Philip Pan the mistreatment of the migrant workers in China is evident. These kinds of behaviors are taking place all over in China. The abuse of the Chinese work force has reached terrible proportions and created unlawful conditions because of the demanding economy of China, and other countries’ needs of the goods; however, the companies that are centered in China are working to make sure their workers are treated fairly.

In the film “China Blue”, a seventeen year old girl, Jasmine Li, works in a Chinese jeans factory. From this documentary we learn about the pay Jasmine was receiving for her hard work, half a Yuan an hour which is equal to about six US cents. We also learn about the condition of the factory and dorms, the rules that the workers have to abide to, and how important these factories are. From just these sweat shops we learn about the economic, social, and political problems that has arisen in China. It also shows us inequality and inequity of the society in China.

In today’s world, with a few notable exceptions, nearly everyone in every region of the world has access to the same products, information and services. A long-distance relationship is no longer so distant, since each party involved in the relationship can communicate through Skype, Facebook or through any of the vast amount of social media available. A person in Easter Island, one of the most remote inhabited islands in the world, can go to the other side of the world and travel to Canada. An economic crisis in Argentina could affect the economic landscape in Brazil. A person in Chile or Peru can buy an Abercrombie and Fitch t-shirt because this transnational corporation decided to expand its market to developing countries, or as you might prefer, to emerging economies in South America. Although many of these examples might be trivial, these are the consequences of globalization.
