The Negative Effects Of Globalization

Globalization of the modern world has really impacted the way we do things today. With advances in communication, transportation, and technologies we can do things like we never did before, like send a message in seconds across the globe etc. With a growing economic, advanced technological world it's hard to ignore the global society that

Spreading culture is another positive effect of globalization. Our world consists of several cultures coming together. People of one culture can see their flaws and pick up the culture which is correct and in tune with the times. Society today is more welcoming of people of other civilizations and backgrounds. Cooking styles, languages and customs have spread all due to globalization. This all

Globalization even lead to the birth of Moussa Samir because his mother was a Columbian and father Lebanese born in USA. Globalization offered Moussa

My experience with globalization has been mostly limited to interactions via the internet. However, I believe these interactions have opened my mind to be more understanding of the various struggles people face outside of my small community. In similarity with Samir, I notice a common unity among people throughout the world. I believe that past all the cultural differences most people want the same things in life, which we can be summarize as a connection with others.

Samir Moussa is born in Washington DC. He was the child of the Lebanese father and Colombian mother. In fact, he grew up in Lebanon and Colombia as well along with Washington DC. Furthermore, he used to visit Colombia and Lebanon time to time so that he is influenced by the local culture of Washington DC, Lebanon, and Colombia side by side. In addition, he also has the opportunities to explore different languages, such as English, Spanish, and French. He also knows the value of diversity. By the way, he got the chance to explore different cultures within his family. However, I think, the main opportunity provided by the globalization for him is that he is born and living in the United States with parents from two different nation and cultures

Just after reading the vibrant story of Samir Moussa about how globalization has affected his life, I feel myself deeply touched about the tremendous impact both positive and negative it can bring. My first impression upon reading about Samir’s story is viewing the world as a single place where one could travel and live wherever he wishes. For instance, Samir’s father is from Lebanon and his mother from Colombia, both are living in the United States. This shows how globalization has permitted one to interact with different cultures, values, and customs. “It had become evident that we had already become international beings that really only had the world to call home”, he says

Samir Moussa had the unique experience of not only going to an international school with children from all parts of the world, he also had the experience of living in many different parts of the world and learning about their unique cultures. He was able to experience the effects of globalization on a countries culture first hand with the academic trips he took to Costa Rica, (University of The People,2016), pp28-31). He explained how the traditional ways of the Costa Rican culture were reacting to globalization as it was fast approaching. He also noted how valuable traditional medicines developed in Costa Rica were substantially better than their western treatments. In addition, Samir felt he was personally responsible to try and bridge cultural

Globalization is simply the process by which people, economies, and governments around the world become increasingly interconnected through the incorporation of economies and societies (Steger, 2010). Examples of major players of the global world include international organizations such as the United Nations and the World Trade Organization (WTO) as well as nongovernmental organizations such as Greenpeace. The international organizations regulate trade between nations by drafting trade agreements and acting as negotiators. Globalization has both advantages and disadvantages. However, the benefits of globalization far outweigh its costs. For instance, Globalization promotes efficiency and productivity, Global institutions manage the settlement of government-to-government disputes and economic gains from globalization have increased access to health care as well as clean water.

The world has become hugely interconnected over the last couple of year. With globalization being the preferred mode of operation for many businesses, the world has become borderless. Developments made in the field of information communication technology have also played a key role in helping bridge the gap that exists between people from different regions of the world. Thus, the world has become more interconnected with a lot of intercultural sharing. These developments have made it easier for businesses to penetrate and dominate foreign markets. In their videos on Ted talk, both Peter Alfandary and James Sun argue that there is a need for people to try to learn about other cultures as this enhances relation and understanding among people. The paper presents an analysis of existing research and current trends that reiterate or disapprove the views held by these narrators. It seeks to show that though globalization has taken root in today’s world, there is a need to take an interest in learning other cultures as this will ensure a better understand especially when doing business.

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.

In today’s global society, it has become difficult to find someone that has not been impacted in any way by Globalization. Some societies will be more or less affected but we cannot deny the idea that Globalization impacts everyone, which resulted in a large number of economists and philosophers writing their own opinion and theories on the subject. Based on this idea, I came up with the following question: What drives a company to globalise and what are the implications? I will tackle the question in this essay by first defining what globalization is, explain why companies become global and what are the implications of globalization on different social classes. My arguments will be backed up with evidence from the following authors: Adam Smith, Branko Milanovic and Harry Braverman. It is difficult to come up with an exact definition of Globalization; however, we could define it as the idea of trying to make the world communities become one by integrating world economies. This ongoing process that contributes in making the world look “smaller” by merging economies, societies and cultures to improve global communication and trade has not only economical impacts but also social and cultural.

Globalization is undoubtedly affecting me, both positively and negatively. The issues of globalization were something I was blind to. Not in a sense that I was being simple minded and not seeing the issue, but in a sense that I did not see that globalization was actually affecting my education and my life in a hazardous way. I realized that there are more constituents involved with globalization. It is not just the innovation of technologies, the amelioration of education and human rights, or the changing efforts of our society’s social acceptability’s, it is more than that. It is observing how all these factors coincide together and how they affect our youth, work force, and our government. It is how globalization affects our existence.

The main topic of his concern is the globalization process in today’s world. Globalization – is a process of international interaction and exchange of culture, values, business etiquette and other aspects which define the certain nation among the people, companies and governments of different nations. The process itself is driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology (Globalization101.org, 2015) According to Ghemawat (2012), people overestimate the real figures of different factors which altogether define the globalization process.

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.

Globalization is the process of increased interconnectedness among the countries most in the most known popular areas of economics, politics, social, and culture. All of these areas are key aspects of each country and what makes them individualized. Globalization allows for countries to be able to be individuals without the conflict of their differences because of the power used to work as a whole globe. Globalization is a positive thing for the entire world, it allows for lots of development in our world by the connection there is between all of the countries interdependence on each other. The different points of globalization claim that it will lead to convergence of income, access to knowledge and technology, consumption power, living standards, and political ideas.
