Topic:
Even though globalization affects the world's economies in a very positive way, its negative side should not be forgotten. Discuss.
Introduction:
Globalization is such a commonly used term in the twentieth (twenty-first) century. It simply means that the world has become integrated economically, socially, politically, and culturally through the advances of technology, transportation, and communication. It is undeniable that globalization has resulted in both positive and negative effects which must be addressed accordingly.
Body Paragraphs:
To begin with, globalization has contributed to the world's economies in many beneficial ways. The advances in science and technology have allowed businesses to easily cross over territorial boundary lines. Consequently, companies tend to become more productive and competitive thereby raising the quality of goods, services, and the world's living standard.
Secondly, several companies from the more developed countries have already ventured to establish foreign operations or branches to take advantage of the low cost labor in the poorer countries. This kind of business activity will provide more influx of cash or investment funds into the less developed countries.
However, one cannot deny the negative effects which have (were) derived from globalization. One crucial social aspect is the risk and danger of epidemic diseases which can easily be spread and faster in today's advanced society. This is evidenced in the recent birds flu disease which has infected most Asian countries over a short period of time.
As large corporations invest or take over many offshore businesses, a modern form of colonization will also evolve which may pose certain power pressure on the local goverments of the less developed countries. Unemployment rates in the more developed regions such as Europe may also escalate as corporations choose to outsource to the cheaper work force from Asian countries.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, I like to reiterate that globalization is inevitable and we must urge individuals, companies, and governments to use a more balanced approach by taking the appropriate steps to deal with matters relating to the financial or economical gains verses the social, political, or ecological concerns of the world.
