The world seems to grow smaller and smaller. Here I sit in my room, write down a document and mail it to a friend to lives miles away. All I do is type it on a technological box called computer, upload it to the internet and press a button and my friend receives it. This same mail could be send to my brother who lives in a country thousands of miles away and even to my cousin who lives hundreds of countries away.
This is globalization. It has brought the world so close that the inter connections can never be cut off.
One country produces something on its land and the other day the stuff exported to another country miles away.
This sounds good to hear, but the greatest problem is we tend to ignore how this could be used by other evil forces at work. If a good can be traded so easily, how difficult would it be for a terrorist to smuggle arms and ammunitions, even bombs over boundaries? Are we ignoring the high smuggling to drugs all over the world? Drugs that are produced in African countries and then traded all over the world. How a terrorist leader hides insides the caves of Afghanistan and control a suicide attack in America?
If globalization has opened borders, it has done so for everyone. It is an irreversible process that is being now used by forces that tend to work to bring harm to the world and its inhabitants.
If one nation prospers, are we forgetting that it is doing over the suffering of another nation, simple economics, u take from one and give it to the other, stuff just doesn’t come out of nowhere.
The world has become a GLOBAL VILLAGE but do not butter yourself with the phenomena, it connects not only you but everyone and everyone does not work for the betterment of its inhabitants.
