Globalization is a form of cultural acceptance and approval, which surrounds economics, politics, biology and culture on a global scale. It is a process where dominant countries take the place of the less fortunate ones. Many people have different point of views concerning this debate, which will be discussed below. The different points of view of other people, my personal opinion, the advantages and disadvantages of this process, will be discussed further down.
To begin with, globalization, to some people’s opinion, is going to ruin the world. In other words, globalization is going to make a difference in the society, where some nations would rise and be known worldwide, with their dominant policy. Thus other nations nobody would ever know about, because it’s insignificance. Therefore, globalization to one point of view depends on disagreement, disproval of the system and the leading countries.
The other side of the story is other people’s opinion, which is “globalization will eventually lead to a utopian world society”[1]. They believe that because of globalization, the world will connect with everyone, anytime. Everyone will keep in touch with the latest news, and that everything is going to be fine. This side of the story, where one thinks that globalization is going to end racism for instance. Consequently, globalization to another’s belief is going to make the world a better place.
At the outset, globalization has some advantages that one could benefit from. Mainly, a corporation’s owner from a dominant country who decides to build his company in a developing country will be a worthy use of globalization. In addition, they would reduce labor cost and sometimes, be close to raw materials. There are also disadvantages regarding this topic.
Critics of multinational companies have accused the profitable corporations of the system, of “exploiting the less-stringent labor laws of developing nations”, that these companies use unfairly and unethically their works, harder than they should, without the correspondent recompense. Furthermore, these corporations have been accused of immoral environmental use, which concerns; some dangerously toxic waste materials, or dangerous waste materials in general. Moreover, the degradation of environment’s natural resources! Into the bargain, these corporations make it harder for other new, small businesses to compete. Therefore, globalization makes it harder in developing countries to develop.
Personally, this new cultural system, which results the domination of a number of nation in an economic, companionship way, will leave it harder to developing countries to try to rise up to the surface. Considering that already many other countries are allies with the dominant ones, and will need many generations to twist their thinking and lead them to follow other nations.
Globalization, in my point of view, causes a threat to some nations, and it also has more benefits to some other countries. First, this cultural system will create a social gap, and divide the world into two or maybe three groups: the dominant nations, the ones who are trying to develop but are stuck in the middle and can’t improve anymore, and finally, the countries that can’t develop because their natural resources or raw materials are limited. Therefore, only the dominant nations are the one who can enjoy and benefice from the new cultural system. Nonetheless, the rest of the world will live in a more misfortunate way, which is unlikely.
