The Advantages and Disadvantages of Globalization

Globalization is such a commonly used name in the twentiethcentury. It simply means that the world has become integrated economically, socially, politically and culturally through the advances of technology, shipping and communication. It is undeniable to say that globalization has resulted in both positive and ostracise 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 turn over allowed businesses to easily cross over territorial boundary lines.Consequently, companies tend to become more productive, competitive thereby raising quality of goods, services and the worlds living standard. Secondly, some(prenominal) 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 benign of business activity will provide more influx of cash o r investment funds into the less developed countries. However, one cannot deny the negative effects which havederived from globalization.One crucial social aspect is the risk and danger of epidemic diseases which can easily be spread as the mode transportation is easier and faster in todays advance society. This is evidenced in the recent birds flu disease which has infected most Asian countries over a short date frame. As large corporations invest or take over many off shore businesses, a modern form of colonization will a uniform evolve which may pose certain power pressure on the local governments of the less developed countries.Unemployment rates in the more developed regions like Europe may also escalate as corporations choose to outsource 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 appropriate steps to deal with ma tters relating to the financial or economical gains verses the social, political or ecological concerns of the world.
