What are the political cons of globalization?
A blurring of the cultural tapestry of various regions of the world. In other words going to a foreign country only to find Starbucks, McDonald's, and Colonel chicken.
How can America resist globalization?
We need God! And we do not need Republicans, Democrats...etc. we need to vote for the persons who care about us as a people and believe in God and will have the courage to say so, and be proud to love this country, God and fellow man, instead of the almighty dollar! It looks bleak, now that I think of it...seems it is up to us as a nation, to get off our butts and protest! I would be more than willing to go to washington, and stand outside every day...would it help..I think if there were enough of us yes it would. We have become a country of people who complain but take no action...we need to be more active..How could we get this started? I and my sis talk about this all the time. How does one get it going...a non violent protest...one that will make a difference...I feel it can be done..just how and when is the question.
What are the major types of globalization?
There are about seven major types of globalization.Financial globalizationInterconnection of the world’s financial systems e.g. stock marketsMore of a connection between large cities than of nationsExample: What happens in Asian markets affects the North American markets.Economic GlobalizationA worldwide economic system that permits easy movement of goods, production, capital, and resources (free trade facilitates this)Example: NAFTA, EU, Multinational corporationsTechnological GlobalizationConnection between nations through technology such as television, radio, telephones, internet, etc.Was traditionally available only to the rich but is now far more available to the poor. Much less infrastructure is needed now.Political Globalizationcountries are attempting to adopt similar political policies and styles of government in order to facilitate other forms of globalizatione.g. move to secular governments, free trade agreements, etcCultural GlobalizationMerging or “watering down” of the world’s cultures e.g. food, entertainment, language, etc.Heavily criticized as destructive of local culturee.g. The Simpsons is shown in over 200 countries in the world.Ecological Globalizationseeing the Earth as a single ecosystem rather than a collection of separate ecological systems because so many problems are global in naturee.g. International treaties to deal with environmental issues like biodiversity, climate change or the ozone layer, wildlife reserves that span several countriesSociological GlobalizationA growing belief that we are all global citizens and should all be held to the same standards – and have the same rightse.g. the growing international ideas that capital punishment is immoral and that women should have all the same rights as men.Hope this helped!David,You can read more about economics at The Global Millennial
How does globalization influence our lives?
There's good and bad sides to everything in the world, so what you see mainly depends on what you look for.For me, I see globalisation as something amazing. We have a better understanding of other cultures, other people’s thought processes. What would have seemed alien to us a few years ago now seems accepted.We have more access to information and to knowledge. We can compound our wisdom together and make faster progress.We get food that we could only dream of or read about in books (in Korea I saw people eat live baby octopuses! How crazy is that?). I hadn't even heard of Matcha tea few years ago and is my new Favourite drink other than coffee.We communicate with people instantly. So many businesses and individuals thrive in making their art and products global. What wouldn't work in your local area a few years ago would have made you a failure. Today, you can find an audience for anything that's worthwhile.These are just some things globalisation does for us.
Globalization... good or bad?
Do you believe that globalization (the increased integration or increased “connectedness” of the world) will lead to more democracy or less democracy, more peace or more war, greater wealth for greater numbers or increasing poverty and inequality? Do your answers suggest a view of the world that is closer to realism, liberalism, or Marxism/Leninism? Explain.
How does globalization affect me personally?
Globalisation affects every aspect of an individual's life including, religion, food, transport, language, music and clothing. It affects each individual differently however, depending on a diverse number of factors such as location, education and income.While globalisation is said to unite the world, it has often been criticised for widening the gap between the rich and poor. It also has been said to favour the wealthy and educated, particularly those citizens belonging to the wealthier countries such as the United States. For the chief executive officers (CEOs) of the large transnational corporations (TNCs) such as Bill Gates, the CEO of computer technology company, Microsoft, this seems to be particularly true. Born into a wealthy American family and receiving a solid education throughout his life, including his study at Harvard University, Gates' personal wealth of US$52.8 billion by 2001 makes him the world's richest person. Refer Image 1People from developing nations are disadvantaged to an even greater extent than the poor from developed nations. Aside from being exploited as cheap labour, many are also without access to technology. For those who do have access, many are unable to use the internet owing to their inability to read and write, or to communicate in English which has become the dominant language in the new global world. People from poorer nations are said to also be exposed to more pollution. This pollution is suggested to have resulted from globalisation which places importance on international travel and trade, as well as industry.
