The Negative Effects Of Globalization

Is Globalization ultimately positive or negative, or somewhere in between? I believe it depends on who you ask the question, and how it affects their life. For myself, I can’t get passed the negative way it has impacted my life and others around me in the same situation. Those of us who have lost our jobs and livelihood and are now labeled as “the long term unemployed” have seen our jobs eliminated and outsourced overseas; find it hard to feel positive about globalization. Watching families lose their homes and children going hungry is a disgrace considering we are the greatest country in the world. Maybe we are our own worst enemies to a degree. The collapse of our economy is

Although I am now living in another country, the only thing that could affect me is the moment with fast food and coffee, about which we could read, but nevertheless the knowledge of the language at a different level and communication with people helped me to uncover a number of factors, How much the world is different. In the sense that globalization can influence us in terms of thinking, because we thought at home differently than when we are in another country, and we have to think and act differently.

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.

Cultural globalization has its own pros and cons. Cultures and societies can be brought together through globalization. Because of the Revolution in Information Technology it has become easier to communicate and connect with people of different cultures across the global. Through this cultural diffusion societies are feeling similar and will become united. People from all of these different nations will feel together rather than an outcast and eventually eradicate racism and discrimination (Sofree). Globalization can lead to freedom from custom and have “exposure to alternative ways of life and thought will help increase global awareness and appreciate to humankind in

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 has been taking place for centuries .The appearance of globalization can been seen from colonization to industrial revolution. The impact of globalization towards economy, technology and business can been explored in many ways. Particularly, globalization has an enormous impact on global textiles and apparel industry. Since definition of globalization varies to different people in different field, this paper attempt to define the word ‘’globalization’’.

Gunter and van der Hoeven (2004) holds that, globalization can be defined as: ‘’The unification of economies and societies driven by new technologies and new economic relationships, and the national and international policies such as international organizations, business, labour and civil society’’ (p.1). The process of

Ever since 1945, globalization has greatly influenced the development of Asia. This impact has been both positive and negative on the country. These include the fact that there is a growing Western culture growing in some regions of Asia and there is a threat to internal cohesion and economic health. However, globalization isn’t spread to just the East, it is also spread to the West and that still benefits Asian cultures both positively and negatively.

Developing countries are adversely affected by globalization, especially in economy area. Globalization is a process which the world interconnection keeps increasing so it is possible to trade or exchange cultures conveniently. In the past, it was anticipated to develop a whole of countries’ economy or technology and solve some environmental issues such as air pollution or global warming. Unfortunately, until these days, the result of globalization does not reach 50% of economists’ expectation. The major reason of the evaluation is in spite of the fact that it provides advantages, globalization increase the gap between rich and poor. One of the biggest victims is developing countries. They suffer a great loss from the drawbacks of globalization. These are excessive outflows of brain and money, excessive competition in the world market, and Increase of economic polarization.

Globalization occurs in three forms: political globalization, cultural globalization, and economic globalization. All forms work together to expand relationships and create a single place. On its own Economic globalization is a way for economic relations to extend and integrate across the world. Economic globalization and its policies as well as, the ideology of neoliberalism have a way of creating an inequality between countries and creates an endless debt cycle. International economic organizations have caused long-term effects due to the harsh conditions these organizations impose. A prime example of this effect can be seen in countries such as Jamaica. It is important to understand neoliberal policies and economic organizations in order to understand how debt still plays a role in today’s globalized economy.

Either we agree or not about its benefits, globalization is a force that, according to my view, is impossible to stop. The positive aspects of globalization such as ubiquity, instant communications, access to any good among others are so compelling, and, given that negative aspects are difficult to assess in the short run, it is easy to conclude that the world would not give up those benefits even if faced with evidence such as the one showed on this week paper.

Globalization is the process of development on an international scale as well as the interaction among people, exchange of ideas, companies, cultures, government and many more around the world.

Smallpox, slavery and extinction is what globalization brought to the native americans. Yes it had its good fruits, but the bad ones far outweigh the goods ones. Globalization is the movement of goods, capital, services, people, technology and information. It is the action or procedure of international integration of countries arising from the convergence of world views, products, ideas, and other aspects of culture. Advances in the means of transport (such as the steam locomotive, steamship, jet engine, and container ships) and in telecommunications infrastructure (including the rise of the telegraph and its modern offspring, the Internet and mobile phones) have been major factors in globalization, generating further interdependence of economic and cultural activities. Globalization is largely overlooked by people and governments alike which has lead to a neglect of the negative effects it has on native and local traditions, customs and cultures. Globalization decimates local culture because more often than not, the bad outweighs the good. Globalization is happening rapidly but the global government lacks the means to regulate and direct it toward useful and beneficial results.

Studying globalization is an eye opener to see many different aspects of globalization in both positive and negative ways. As we have been defining globalization as it is a “process of interaction and integration among people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology, which shows more good benefits of globalization” (globalization101) but it's also deeply controversial in its different effects to economy, health, culture, education, energy, environment, human rights, international law, investment, media, trade and so many more. These aspects have shown us how it’s important to create a more integrated global world is a better way to transform people’s life to a better or it can be unconstructive to many.

Globalization is the interaction between peoples, nation and governments of different countries. It is largely driven by trade agreements and investments helped by information technology. This process affects the environment, cultures, political systems and economic development.
