The Major Causes Of Globalization

In the Article “How globalization Went Bad” by Steven Weber et al. the author describes several reasons why having the United States as the single super power in this modern global market is not exactly a good thing. Weber says that the “evils of globalization are even more dangerous than ever before…The

Buzzwords such as globalization and terrorism have dominated political rhetoric for the past quarter-century. Assessing the benefits that come with globalization — namely, the disbursement of free trade, democratic values, cultural and informational intermingling, etc. — one would expect an increased quality of life across the board. Yet it appears that inequality and bloodshed has only aggrandized as a result of this worldwide integration of goods and ideas. Rather than fostering a universal understanding of humanity amongst nations and their imagined communities, globalization seems to have exacerbated primitive fears about the unknown — “the others”. Minorities have become further systematically marginalized by those in power (the elite), and political and cultural violence, both literal and symbolic, is at its prime.

The ongoing globalization in my opinion, the United States Department of State is aimed at bringing in cultural uniformity throughout the world without leaving any range for diversity. It wants to inflict American language, civilization, and way of life in every direction. Our government activity illustrates the ascent of political globalization dedicated to solving global social problems, which would be difficult to do while we utilize our own culture as a banner of judgment. We can see modernization in the United States from the result of technology and development, which is the primary cause of social change.

The author compares the globalization that was present at the start of World War I and that which is present now, facilitated by increases in technology, and argues that both have led to strong nationalism and fear of integration, like that of Germany before World War I. The integration of the world caused by globalization leads to immigration, which leads to nationalism and localism (strong connection to one’s own country or location). It also allows people to band together with those “like them,” and therefore find a “scapegoat” outsider for problems facing the nations, as was done with Jews before both World War I and World War II, and as now applies largely to people of Arabic descent or Muslim faith. This leads to radical ideology, which is present in political groups such as the British National Party an Tea Party, and, more radically,

These new features can be attributed to Globalization which has brought with it, the collapse of traditional cleavages such as class and ideology, as a result war has been induced by culture and identity clashes. According to Baylis et al. “globalization has weakened the national forms of identity that

Globalization can be described in a lot of different ways because it covers a large amount of topics including political, social and economic/commercial areas. According to Killic (2015), Globalization can be really challenging for different factions to come to one common agreement of what the term means because it has a ‘multi-dimensional’ structure. This means that up to this day, it is impossible to write a clear definition for what Globalization means as, although they share a similar understanding of the concept, different people in different parts of the world will have separate and sometimes conflicting views on what it means. Hopkins (2002) also describes Globalization as the “process of transformation of local phenomena into global ones”, this means that people from all around the world are brought together and function as one.

is essentially nothing that can be done to stop it. According to this view, technological changes have propelled international economic activity, and governments have been largely irrelevant. Thus, policy liberalization should be

The reductions of international trade and investment barriers made globalization of markets and globalization of production a theoretical possibility; technological change made it a visible reality (Hill, Cronk, Wickramasekera, 2014). Over the years, there has been major technological development. There are three major technological advancements, include microprocessors and telecommunications, the internet and the World Wide Web and transportation technology (Hill, Cronk, Wickramasekera, 2014). The microprocessor and telecommunication revolution is the one that cause the most significant effect which they allow users to communicate to each other through simple processes; these include satellite and wireless communication. Developments in communications and microprocessors have reduced the cost of global communication and hence the cost of coordinating and managing a multinational corporations. The second advancement is the internet and the World Wide Web. In 1990, there were fewer than one million users of the internet, but in 1995, there were 50 million users and more than 2.4 billion users in 2011 (Hill, Cronk, Wickramasekera, 2014). The internet and the World Wide Web could be considered as an equalizer which it reduces the differences of location, scale and time zones. Therefore, it makes the demanders and suppliers to identify each other easily and provides the opportunities of

Premises 1: The world is changing. Populations today are in a constant state of flux. However, despite this there are several trends that have been proved to be significant to our time. These demographic trends all have critical impacts on the development of globalization in the world. Whether, that be by accelerating it or by decelerating it. Small demographic trends when persisted over generations can lead to significant demographic alterations. The reversal of demographic trends can often take years to occur and thus are a critical part of a nation's profile.

There has been many problems within the U.S, from terrorism to violence, even drugs from other countries. Consequently, America will not take action. According to the government, they are trying their hardest to prevent these unfortunate events, but in reality all they do is buy more weapons to continue with their unnecessary actions. What should America do? In order to mitigate international terrorism, America should not meddle in the affairs of other countries, instead they should concentrate on educating the youth to prevent the from drugs and violence.

Traditional businesses have changed since the world became globalized, modern businesses therefore need to adapt themselves to survive in new environment such as increase in international trade. Generally, globalization allows businesses to expand across the world and this means that businesses are more likely to invest in foreign countries or to employ some workers from overseas by liberalizing employee mobility. It is evident that globalization not only provide employment with wage system to improve labour standard but also increase investment and funding into global economy to improve host countries, namely, the liberalization from globalization creates employment across the world and amends the quality of jobs by prescribed minimum labour wages to protect a 'race to bottom' which can be defined as a circumstance which enables companies to gain a profit from low-wage workers with poor working conditions, whereas, the international source from foreign investors will stimulate economy in host countries to raise wealth and to urge local businesses to become international companies. The essay will primarily discuss the employment aspect of globalization and also explore the perspective of labour wage in the global societies and then look at the topic of investment and funding.

Today, if you walk into any of your favorite supper shopping center, whether it is Wal-Mart or Target and you scan through any section’s aisle, you are sure to find something that was made in a country other than the United States. Globalization has made the world a smaller place, and today a product that was made in Brazil yesterday, can be on a Wal-Mart shelf in the United States today. The biggest problem with globalization is not stocking the shelves, but getting the items to the customers who needs it in a timely manner. The task of accounting for, transporting, tracking, storing, and unloading all have to be done effectively and efficiently and at the same time still get the goods to the customers on time. It is obvious that

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.
