Globalisation – The Pros and Cons of the Global Village

We have come to a platform where the word ‘globalisation’ comes under
attack from all, varying under the social context of who its being
told to. The reason is simple. It is ignorance that forces someone to
judge that which they do not know. If you are to evaluate or assess
something, you must know what it is, what it entails and everything in
its reach.
The founding’s of Globalisation were based on a pure intention.
Because it really is not something enforced or shelved out, but rather
is an inevitable state showing the constant changes of our world, “It
is a term used to describe the changes in societies and the world
economy that are the result of dramatically increased cross-border
trade, investment, and cultural exchange”.
Personally speaking, I have more negative points about globalization
than positive. For the sole reason, that it enforces capitalistic
material ideals on people and promotes this specifically western type
of lifestyle. Im not saying there’s anything wrong with adopting
foreign values but they should be ones that are positive for the
outlook Of the nation and not vice versa. Globalisation allows
countries with a stronger industrial power to utilize the large, cheap
labour of the third world countries, and burdens their own local
produce.
On the other hand, it allows people from developing countries to
compete with the rest as an impetus for progress. It also gives way to
more employment opportunities that way.
I am not saying that globalization is a negative turn of events in
this time. I just propose that to lessen the burden it puts on third
world countries (often the victim of its consequences) certain
compromises and cooperation need to be made to make it a safer and
less volatile state for them.
