Advantages Of Globalization: The Impact
|
The world is a single place and globalization does nothing but helping interaction between different people from all over the planet, bringing them closer than before. There are many advantages of globalization. First, goods can now move from one part of the world to another at great speed. Due to the economic interdependence, war is less likely to happen. Free trade, global media, free movement of ideas, flexibility, ease of communication, environment concern, they are now all possible due to globalization. The global village, where all people work together towards a common goal, may become reality. Globalization has many effects on the countries and the people of the world. Movement of people, of goods and of ideas is done less expensive and at a faster rate then ever before. Now, access to different goods and items is possible, due to the cheap transportation means. It does not matter than one person lives in Alaska and another in New Zealand, they can now talk to each other, simply by logging on to the Internet. Climate changes are no longer discussed by several powerful people, the issues are in everybody's hands. Criminals can be brought to justice in front of international courts, and laws cannot be integrated in systems that work for many people all over the world. It is easier to travel from one corner of the world to another, to exchange ideas, or to influence and be influenced by values that are different than yours. Understanding and tolerance are now highly valued, as we begin to be able to know each other, without any interferences. People living in the global village take part in the same cultural or sport events, such as Olympics. Individuals can move from one country to another, without restrictions, and one can choose where they wish to live, with no fear of political consequences. Free trade is possible, more freedom is granted to the consumer and local goods can be transported to remote locations. All these are gains of globalization and they cannot be ignored. The developing world has a lot to gain from globalization. As civil liberties are recognized, trade and access to goods increase. From the profit made, more wealth and fortune are generated; lower prices, better goods are available and the standard of life knows an increase that was never before possible. Developing nations are advantaged by such changes, but critics claim that some countries will get richer and richer at the expense of other countries and their people. On the other hand, it is believed that globalization is the recipe for combating poverty and lack of products, and a source for the increase of living standards. During the last two decades, the number of people living in extreme poverty decreased, from 1.5 billion to 1.1 billion, while the globe population has increased.
