Rise Of Globalism In The United States

Some argue that globalization will, on the long term, bring all cultures as a unique Western, if not Americanized, culture, while others argue that some cultures will persist in order to keep their own essence and therefore avoid the homogenization of all cultures. Alongside pure tradition, global conflicts, contradictory political regimes and the diversity of economic systems, some cultures are bound to face issues when trying to fully fit in a global western culture, and that is why cultures are adaptable to one another, but with some limits that we will express in this essay.

US globalization changed not only the United States, but the world, since anybody can sell to anyone, anywhere in the world. It has opened opportunity to many people across the globe that would have never been able to have a successful business without it. Another way it has changed is in the way people communicate with each other. People can immediately talk to somebody in another country, or post to a social website, reaching many people at once and instantaneously, globalization has definitely made the world a lot smaller.

It is not just the arbitrary concepts of capitalism which have a tendency to expand, under the Marxist understanding of the state, capitalist states will make foreign policy decisions for the benefit of global capitalism. The increased intervention by western states in the Marxist view is about the sole purpose of the expansion of capitalism in the search of profit for the companies, using the state as a mobiliser for action towards such an end. Mark Rupert brought forward a case study of such “imperialism” in action, in the case of the US. Global capitalist activities require huge amounts of energy, and the cheapest or most efficient form is petroleum. Despite not being a democracy and not practising equality, or respecting human rights, all core values to the US, Saudi Arabia remains one of the US’s closest allies. If the actions of the US abroad primarily concerned democracy promotion, human rights and core liberal values, this alliance does not make sense, but when you use a Marxist lens, and consider that alliances are about capitalism, you quickly understand why Saudi Arabia, a large producer of oil is a huge geopolitical ally of the US. This also applies to explaining enemies, for example Cuba and Qaddafi’s Libya. Cuba on the one hand is one of the few countries which still ideologically rejects capitalism as a form of organising society, which has resulted in a ban on all trade with Cuba. Alternatively, Qaddafi, who was the leader of an oil rich Libya for many years

The most important theme running through American History is globalization. Globalization is the interconnectedness of people, countries, and companies throughout the world. The three main types of globalization are political globalization, social globalization, and economic globalization. Globalization has made America what it is today. It has made us one of the biggest international powers, and made America a cultural melting pot.

Globalism has been steadily increasing throughout the world in recent decades, but with Trump’s presidential victory, a wave of nationalism is now sweeping across America in rebuke. Globalists push for a one world government under the guise of world peace and prosperity, and they do this by promoting open borders and interconnectedness through free trade deals. However, their policies can undermine the political power of nations. It is important for Americans to unite and adopt a nationalistic view because globalism proves detrimental to the safety and prosperity of the citizens of the US. The American government must put the interest of America first by controlling its borders, protecting the people’s financial security from foreign entities,

Globalism is the operation or planning of economic and foreign policy on a global basis. It offers free trades and open borders between international countries, while maintaining a mutual co-dependency. This policy has been utilized by the United States for many centuries because it has been providing american citizens with affordable and useful things. However, globalism has caused the United States to gain more and more undocumented foreigners. This angers many Americans because they believe that they have taken all the jobs from them. Meanwhile, nationalism is defines as a patriotic feeling, principles, or efforts that goes towards the country of origin. Therefore, people who are nationalist tend to keep resources within their own borders and keep foreign paraphernalias out; including people. This way of thinking has been quite popular due to the current President of the United States of America’s, Donald Trump, actions towards other countries. Although, many americans do not agree with his proposals of constructing a barrier between the United States and Mexico, his communications with certain countries that could cause chaos to America. Globalism and nationalism

Nowadays, the international trade are more frequently than ever before, foreign companies’ products trade into the local market, gradually changing the life style and dietary habits of local citizens, this has definitely accelerated the speed of globalization, a term that can be defined as a system with very integrative and complicated connections among countries(Pakenham et al, 2013). Another factor that contributes to globalization is immigration, as immigrants enter a new country bringing their own culture and mores make the entire society more diversified.

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

This paper will examine the role of the United States in textile and apparel production in the age of globalization and will provide an overview of trade agreements enacted in the textile and apparel industry. A discussion of the different trade agreements and how the U.S. textile and apparel industry has been affected by those agreements will be given along with ideas about what the United States can do to continue to operate in the domestic market of textiles and apparel.

The United States, was once a rather competitive country that other countries in the world tried to imitate. No more does this stand true. As of March 10,2016 Pope stated that, “the trade deficit in goods was approximately $930 billion, or 1.3 percent of gross domestic product” (Pope, 2016). This trade deficit that we are experiencing is of course business as usual. Specifically, this deficit has occurred since 1975 (Pope, 2016). However, the United States can highlight certain industries that we are positively growing well in. These specific goods are within the technology intensive industries (high-tech metals, chemicals, and airplane), further areas are related to agricultural products (Pope, 2016). The highlighted sector that we seem to lack the ability to gain in is the labor intensive and cost sensitive products (Pope, 2016). Perhaps though, we need to further analyze what does and does not contribute to the GDP. Exporting a countries domestic products and services produce a certain amount of income, thus the income increases the GDP. Alternatively, if a country imports good and services we see GDP lowering. At this current time the United States is participating in importing more items than what they are truly importing, hence the trade deficit occurs.

‘Globalization: What’s new? What’s not? (And so what)’, portrays the speed in which globalism has increased through many different factors; economically, military, environmentally and socially. This is an idealist analytic approach, not set in stone. This leads on to

Modern world is full of new technologies and innovative ideas that can be useful and harmful to many people. They can be easily spread and shared due to our interconnected world; globalisation allows everyone to connect and find information in a matter of minutes. Societies are no longer secluded and can affect each other with ease. This can end in cultural appropriation or appreciation of the different cultures that surround us. Cultural identity is the feeling of belonging to a certain social group, it is related to nationality, ethnicity, social class, generation, locality and others (Moho, 2005). Globalisation is a controversial topic because it is far from being black and white, it affects people differently and can be viewed from

One of the foundations of their arguments is based on the belief that globalization threatens traditions and cultures worldwide. The opponents of globalization consider that traditions can be lost when they all come together in the melting pot that globalization creates. Some believe that “globalization is in effect the process by which people give up individualism for homogenization, or belonging” (idebate.org), meaning that it is impossible to keep the aspects that make each one of us unique when we live in a world consumed by globalization. In addition others think that, “As popular culture spreads, creativity and individual values disappear”(idebate.org). Although this is a primary concern regarding this topic, they are not an accurate prediction of what globalization really produces.

Globalization simply defined is the intensification of global interactions. The case studies we have studied depict two of the main types of globalization. Economic Globalization, which is the production, exchange, distribution, and consumption of goods and tangible services, and Cultural Globalization, the exchange of materials and symbols that represent facts, meaning values and beliefs. When Globalization occurs it usually has a major impact on indigenous cultures. Optimists or “champions” state that the relationship between culture and globalization has positive effects as it creates a balance between nations. Conversely, critics state that relationships between the two have negative effects, leading to the loss or deterioration of a
