Globalization

In terms of globalization,each of us has his own opinions. Some people hold the idea that it is harmful . It has caused strikes, layoffs, and protests and so on. Some people think we can benefit a lot from the process of globalization. And there are other people who don’t want to show there attitudes on
globalization.

For my part,I think we can ragard gobalization as fire. Fire itself is neither good nor bad.What matters is how you use it. Used properly, it can cook food, form iron, and heat our homes. Used carelessly, it can destroy lives, towns and forests in an instant.

General benefits :
1. It makes resources avilable for every country,every one,thus it lowers the cost of goods and increases the buying power of customers

2. Communication barriers are gradually removed because all members are in a common community

3. Laws are modified and enhanced to create a better trading environment.

4. Sharing of technologies are encouraged, education ,information becomes more available, communication becomes more convienent, Life is more easy in some extent.

General diasadvantages

1. The the rich become much more richer and the poor become much more poorer.

2. Globalization can be incredibly empowering and incredibly coercive. It can democratize opportunity and democratize panic.

3. It is homogenizing cultures in its progress.You can not resist its bad effect on your own culcure.

4. It causes much more pollution than before.It force the developing countries to develop in a disadvantage environment. Countries that are already lagging behind in technology and productivity will have a harder time competing against giant economies.

In spite of what I said below ,however ,as with most issues, the majority of people will be in the middle. They will see globalization not as something to worship or demonize. Instead, they will see it as something to mold, shape and form.

The world today is growing smaller by the day. Believe it or not,globalization is a trend.I suggest we try our best to avoid its disadvantages and make full use of it.I am willing to see globalization as a means to generate wealth and a better standard of living for all of us,not only a few people.
