Globalization is an ongoing concept that has been
happening for many generations and will continue until the end of time. Of
course, it has both negative and positive viewpoints. In the world we live in,
it is common to see products from one country in another country. Importing and exporting of goods and name
brands are spreading like wildfire in the concept called globalization.
Interacting with other countries has caused global competition and loss of
culture, to name a few.
Positive
viewpoints would include greater array of foreign goods, developing countries
having the benefits of current technology, and global competition encourages
creativity. You walk down the street in any city, or walk into a random store,
and there is definitely something in there that is from a different country.
Developing countries have the benefit of using the current technology that has
been invented by others without the stress and hardship of developing it
themselves. Global competition encourages creativity because most people want
the best of something. When inventing something you need the creativity and
good use of innovation to try to make it the best product of that kind due to
others trying to make a profit off the same product.
Negative effects
include outsourcing, loss of culture, and greater spread of disease. Outsourcing has huge negative effects, one of
the reasons for this that it may be cheaper to make a product in one country
rather than the country it is currently in. Therefore, the manufacturer may
move to another country causing those workers to lose their jobs. Globalization
is causing an interest of sharing cultures and innovations which leads to a
loss of culture. If we, as a planet, are interacting more than ever then we are
making the journey to other countries. For example, if I were to contract a
disease in the states and go on a vacation to a foreign country, I have the
chance of bringing that disease to a country that was not yet exposed to it.
