Reflection: Globalization...

Every day we hear it in different news papers, overhear people debating about it, hear it on the news… the word globalization is seemed to be used a lot with many different meanings. So, what could it be? When I began reading the topic “GLOBALIZATION”, I thought about the main reason for its appearance. I imagine that the main reason is people’s interests’ matter of factly. In fact, globalization is a system that helps communication between the countries around the world in order to develop their economy.

As a personal reflection, globalization has had both positive and negative effects on our planet. First, we can note that globalization helps to unit all the countries by sharing a lot of common things. This may also increase all type of discrimination since there will be cooperation between the countries. In fact, there will be a mixture of different cultures from all over the world. As, it also allows a very high economic prosperity throughout international commerce. Moreover, since the globalization is an issue that touches many countries, then it could be a result for the improvement of health standards since many African and Asian countries are participating. In addition, because of the need to compete and be competitive globally, governments have to upgrade their level of technology.

However, one of the main issues which has been debated ferociously in various international meetings is the environmental degradation. It has to be accepted that globalization is one of the most important factors of this degradation. In fact, the amount of ram materials needed to run these industries and factories could totally terminate on the natural reserves of the planet and on our own lives since the air is going to be also polluted. Additionally, every country concerned by this system should be forced to follow the same social norms and the same culture.

These many forces come together to determinate the course of globalization. To accumulate, globalization helps under developed countries in order to help their development and growth.  Without economic globalization today's world would be substantially different. In fact, it has offered unpredictable consequences either it’s positive or negative effects.
