The advantages and disadvantages of

globalization

Even though globalization affects the worlds economies in a very positive way, its
negative side should not be forgotten. Discuss.

Globalization is such a commonly used term in the twentieth 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.

To begin with, globalization has contributed to the worlds 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 worlds 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 of 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 derived from globalization. One
crucial social aspect is the risk and danger of epidemic diseases which can easily be spread as
the transportation becomes easier and faster in todays 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 governments
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.

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.
