Globalization

To understand the term of globalization, we must first define it. Globalization is develop or be developed so as to make possible international influence or operation. However we must describe it with our own words so we can simplify and it can have more sense. So in simplified words globalization means to expand or to get expanded so it is possible for international impact.

Globalization has pros and cons, which means it has positive and negative effects. First of all we will talk about the pros of globalization, globalization is very effective because it helped some cultures have better buildings, better appreciation of other cultures. For example, food is a very common aspect of globalization since many countries eat other foreign foods. A very good example would be like someone can be eating noodles in Canada, while in someone in France can be eating classic Italian meatballs. McDonalds for example is an American company, with 31,000 locations worldwide, this is American globalization. Another symbol of globalization would be Chinese symbols in tattoos. Many of today's youth do these tattoos which presents cultural appropriation, a term meaning a culture adopting an element from a different culture. The internet is one of the most strongly growing signs of globalization, many countries and people use easy communication in digital forms. The internet is a big part of cultural globalization because it allows interaction with completely two whole different countries.

Now we will talk about the cons of globalization, which are very common. Globalization has created opposition between many countries and increased inequality. In the Midwestern United States, has consumed the competitive edge in industry and agriculture, which lowered the quality of life in locations that have not obtained that change. Globalization has promoted the flow of information, capital and goods. With this it also spread deadly diseases, it was common from the Middle Ages to this day. Starting with the Black Plague, it was transferred from Asia to Europe, causing devastating results in agriculture, economy and killing 1/3 of Europe's population. Faster transportation allow more people to travel around the world, and airways promote the movement of infectious diseases. AIDS/HIV are excellent examples. Monopoly is very negative in due terms of Globalization, for example 300,000 South African textile workers have lost heir jobs because of the influx of Chinese goods. As much as 3.2 million, 1 in 6 American factory jobs have vanished since the year 2000. Globalization has of course positive and negative aspects from what we observe in the world.
