Globalization

Globalization is the increasingly global relationships of culture, people, and economic activity. The most common form of globalization is economic globalization, which is the global distribution of the production of goods and services, through reduction of barriers to international trade such as tariffs, export fees, and import quotas and the reduction of restrictions on the movement of capital and on investment. I know, it sounds great but with the good you must learn to deal with the bad.

Globalization has lots of global benefits. With globalization, the world seems a lot smaller. Technologies ensures that nearly every major event that takes place in a country, the whole world may know. Social networks, and emails allow for people with the proper equipment to communicate. Globalization brings in new culture to countries. People in places like China can enjoy and American style burger, and people in places like America can try Jamaican style food all in the comfort of their own home country. Globalization is said to increase the global economies in which jobs are provided for those in poverty. For the members of a capitalistic nation, one may set up a franchise in another country and increase the company's overall profit. The world seems more united with globalization, but everything that glitters is always real gold.

Globalization has said to tear down the little dignity members of poverty may have within their community. Many of the jobs provided for these individuals pay very little and require degrading tasks with hours that are unbearable. Globalization is said to have watered down the originality of cultures. A lot of places that are incorporating American franchises and lifestyles pull the younger generation from their true culture and more towards the American life. Culture serves an important purpose in society, in which it provides individuals with a sense of belonging and respect for their history and ancestors lifestyle and traditions; globalization steals that from the life's of those who once cherished their culture.

Globalization is providing the world with a more close united feel, but in doing so it is stripping away the culture, respect, and dignity of the individuals who once cherished their original identity.
