Is Globalisation a Benign or a Harmful Process? 18461085 International Relations 122 Clunies-Ross Koto Globalisation and how it changes politics. There are many ways to analyse globalisation. In this essay I will attempt to analyse globalisation by looking at economic factors as well as how impacts on international and domestic politics as well as communication. I will look at how globalisation has influenced the modern world and how some people disagree with globalisation. (Dwain, 2012) Dwain states that globalization connects us all around the world. The aspects of globalization are that we “connect” our economy together as well as products, culture, trade and population. Globalization is believed to raise the global economy, share financial interests, increase travel and communications and make a free trade market. Some Historians believe globalization began in 1492 where many believe that it began earlier. Grant Richard, 1999) The reason why economic factors are being taken into consideration is because money and trade have a large influence in politics as well as the economic market which alters political decisions. Joseph Stiglitz an economist believes that globalisation doesn’t reduce inequality but rather promote it. Some nations such as South Africa and the Caribbean have been forced into the free market by larger economies that need nations that are poorer in order to produce primary and secondary products whereas America produces tertiary products which increase their economic profit a lot more than poorer nations. ‐(C Barnes, 2010) Poorer nations do this to get their share of loans from the International Monetary Fund which (International Monetary Fund, 1945) (Simon Jeffery, 2002). Poorer nations take on most ... ... middle of paper ... ...h get richer and the poor get poorer along with many other reasons such as harmful for the environment and cultural diversity. It is evident that people are more connected and many research shows that people in sweatshops actually live longer and earns more money than what they would of before that job. From where we stand in time globalisation has been a very positive as it raised many people out of poverty and has connected our economies. The benefits outweigh the costs. The effects of globalisation is evident as many items in your home where not made in your region. Globalisation has lowered many costs of living and has made the world smaller. Globalisation has made resources deplete faster but even in a world without globalisation there is no other model of consumption of resources. Globalisation is a good thing and has benefited many, some more than others.
Globalization is the process of people of different cultures or countries integrating through interacting through trade or the use of social media. In “Point: Globalization Provides a Better Life for All” By Jennifer Graham, she provides a valid point of view of how globalization has benefited society. “Globalization enriches the human experience through increased cultural and economic integration, which promotes diversity by opening society to new technology, communication and ideas...Moreover, globalization helps to break down discrimination against people on the basis of religious beliefs or race” (Para, 11,13). Globalization has an impact on my lifestyle because I am currently surrounded by technology and different cultural food. With globalization I have access to different foods that i would normally never get to try, also technology has allowed me to gain knowledge about different culture I would normally not know, this results in me being more informed and benefited because of globalization bringing the different culture of the world so much closer

Although it is becoming a rising topic, globalization is not new. The concept of globalization has existed from beginning of time, but gained most momentum when the earth was discovered not to be flat, and traveling east was possible by traveling west. This allowed countries to trade for any foreign product they once may not have had. Globalization integrates countries with different economies, societies, and cultures across the world into one global network, with the ultimate goal of one emerging economy (Ahearn). Globalization has been fueled by new trends in trading policies, technology, and the world supply of labor.
Our global world is being more connected as we become integrated politically, socially and even economically. Due to the Bretton woods agreement, different countries have been economically dependent on each other in fear for war to erupt. From then on different organizations and policies tied more countries into being economic globalized. This economic globalization had then given us many opportunities in trades and more access to natural resources in other countries. Unfortunately, there are some negative effects that are brought to less developed country. Overall, many people believe that economic globalization does a great work on accumulating our economy and our quality of life.
Globalization is a series of social, economic, technological, cultural, and political changes that promote interdependence and growth. Globalization raises the standard of living in developing countries, spreads technological knowledge, and increases political liberation. Harris 5-23. The main cause of globalization is influence from other, more developed, countries. Globalization is a historical process that results from human innovation and technological progress.
Globalization becomes important today because increasing in depending to the world. Globalization can be determined as increasing in trade and exchange in open economy, integrated and borderless international economy (Intriligator, 2003). Globalization is often used to refer to economic globalization. The integration of national economies into the international economy through trade, foreign direct investment, capital flows, migration, and the spread of technology. Besides that, globalization also can be defined as process of greater interdependence among countries and their citizens. It consists of increased integration of product and resource markets across nations via trade, immigration and foreign investment-that is via international flows of goods and services, of people and of investment such as equipment, factories, stocks and bonds. It also includes non-economic elements such as culture and the environment.
Define and explain globalisation, then critically evaluate and illustrate the impact globalisation has had on a particular business, the industry it operates in, its country of origin and the country or countries the business has expanded into.
In this essay I will give a detailed explanation of what sociologists mean by the term ‘globalisation’ and how they have tried to explain it.
... policies. People will continue to suffer in silence because of the world’s greed. So, while we enjoy our cheaply made goods and over consume the planet into demise, we never know of choose not to know the pain that went into the productions of those goods. Globalization may be championed as a gateway to financial growth for all nations, but only certain nations benefit from it. Global trading and integration has a negative effect on undeveloped nations and developed nations in many ways including; political systems, sovereignty, economy, way of life and much more. Earlier in the essay I asked ‘do the pros outweigh the cons when it comes to globalization’ and from my research I don’t see any real benefit. I don’t believe we should eliminate global business, but better the already lacking regulations and probably increase the standard of living equally for the world.

Globalization encourages worldwide business. Globalization is an efficient process by which all the nations of world will commonly try to set regular universal standards & regulations (both created & recommended) which will encourage business around different nations. Business around nations or elements crosswise over different fringes is called universal business.
Finally, everything in the world has a positive side and a negative side and globalization is one of them. It is up to us the people of the world to maximize the positive aspect of globalization and minimize its negative aspect.
The definition of globalization is, “Globalization is the connection of different parts of the world. Globalization results in the expansion of international cultural, economic, and political activities. As people, ideas, knowledge, and goods move more easily around the globe, the experiences of people around the world become more
I have mixed opinions about globalization as a whole. I think for the economies of most countries it can be beneficial as it will help develop non-developed countries. Globalization has the potential to make the world a better place to live and solve some very long standing problems like unemployment and poverty, which will have a positive impact in the future. Other than having one world government, which I think would have a negative impact in the future, I think globalization will have a positive impact in the future, if it will increase wealth, decrease poverty and allows cultures to blend without each country losing their own cultures.
Globalization is a global process that is changing the world. I would also like to discuss what are the benefits and drawbacks of globalization in the world from different perspectives.
