What is Globalization?Globalization is a "process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations". It connects many different countries and allows us to get a glimpse of what it is like for people of different cultures. Globalization is not inherently good or bad, but there are upsides, as well as downsides, to globalization.

Why Globalization is a good thingGlobalization can be very rewarding in ways such as:
• People are capable of getting to know the ways of different cultures without having to travel the entire world. • Developing countries get technologies they would otherwise not be capable of getting without help from already developed countries. |
Consequences of Globalization
Globalization can also be damaging. Examples are
• There are still traces of different cultures in all parts of the world, some cultures have assimilated with the norms of the country in which they traveled to and their culture has been altered. • Because technology, a market of selling unwanted technology to developing countries for inexpensive labor-intensive recycling. This has caused environmental damages through electronic waste that is produced from all the trashed devices that make their way to developing countries. |
