Globalization And Globalization

Globalization can be seen as reduction in barriers between countries. Globalization has opened the world market for international trade. The movement of globalization have contributed to the spread of knowledge, culture, technology, and information across borders. The increasing role international expansion across border has also increased the focus of multinational corporations to international business strategies. Organizations today in developed nation or in developing nation are going international due to increase in competition. They want to expand their limits beyond local region. Competition in domestic market and pressure to expand the business are the few reasons for the globalization. The following are the few

Being raised in Ghana, receiving higher education in England and working as a professor in the United States certainly helped Kwame Anthony Appiah receive a fair share of different cultures. Appiah is a recognized philosopher with several published books and an impressive track record of accomplishments. His article The Case for Contamination, which was published in The New York Times, speaks of the topic of how globalization affects individuals in many aspects of their life. He discusses how forcefully preserving cultures can harm a culture more than help it. While the article is lengthy, it goes into great detail about how globalization affects people in countries all over the world, even Ghana. Globalization makes a large impact on the world we see today and cultural groups can benefit from the effects of globalization because it promotes diversity, creates cosmopolitan citizen development, and allows economic growth.

Is the increasing globalization of business good or bad for the United States? If you are from a different country, what effect do you think globalization is having or will have on your country? Is globalization resulting in unequal gains for different countries?

Over the course of history, domestic politics have been shaped by international forces. Forces like war and trade; empire and colonies; migration and the spread of ideas. Globalization and Neoliberalism plays an important role in impacting politics in all states. “Globalization is a system in which human beings are no longer part of isolated communities that are linked through narrow channels of diplomatic relations of trade”(O’Neil,2017, pg.346). Globalization creates a division between international relations and domestic politics. When globalization makes a distinction, then the aspects of domestic politics are controlled by global forces. Globalization changes the  institutions of economics, politics, and society. The institutions are measure by space and time of social norms, culture, boundaries. The boundaries create a local identity and control (particularly-“state, religion, or set of cultural values holds sway over the land and here but not there.”)(O’Neil, 2015, pg.348).  Furthermore, political isolation becomes impossible to happen.

Based on Sparke’s textbook, Globalization can be defined as “the extension, acceleration, and intensification of consequential worldwide global interconnections.” This is what he refers to as “little g” globalization. These global interconnections reveal the ties and tensions of globalization. There is also “big G” globalization which is what Sparke calls using globalization as a buzzword in a political context. A big part of globalization is commodities and commodity chains. A commodity can be simply defined as anything that is bought or sold while a commodity chain is the production process that produces these commodities. Understanding commodities and commodity chains is important to be able to understand globalization. One example of how commodities demonstrate globalization is outsourcing and offshoring. By doing this, companies bring their companies overseas which means that they are interconnected with other parts of the world. Understanding commodity chains can also allow you to understand the ties and tensions. I decided to focus on the apparel industry and the commodity of a piece of clothing. This commodity shows some of the tensions related to labor, like constantly searching for the cheapest labor, and tensions related to the environment, like pollution from the clothing industry. A piece of clothing also shows ties through, for instance, in which countries clothes are produced and to which countries they are being exported to. The article "Indian Textile and

Q1: Define Globalization 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and provide a sample of the type of business data managers collected during each era.

Globalization is taking place across the world where people can either become globalization or stay local in the state or country. People are very controversial about globalization helping local economies and local businesses. Some people believe globalization is helping local businesses into the markets and then there are some that believe that multinational corporations hurting the local small businesses. What is globalization? “the development of an increasingly integrated global economy marked especially by free trade, free flow of capital, and the tapping of cheaper foreign labor markets” (). Globalization has started long before we were born.

There is controversy over when globalization began because there is no crystal clear start to globalization. Some people believe that globalization started when the Buddhist leader Chandragupta combined aspects of trade, religion, and military to create a protected trading area. Others believe that globalization began under Genghis Khan’s rule. The Mongolian warrior-ruler created an empire that had trade integrated into it. There are also some experts that believe that the rise of globalization was linked to 1492, the year Christopher Columbus made his first trip to the New World.

Globalization has played a significant role in helping the spread of ideas and cultures across countries and continents on a new scale never seen before. The spread of culture began a long time ago with people sailing around the world in search of adventure and resources. People were able to interact and share cultural beliefs and practices with dominant cultures imposing themselves on less dominating cultures. Countries that had more economic power than others, and those cultures that viewed themselves as more civilized imposed their cultures on countries that lacked economic standing in what came to be viewed later as cultural imperialism.

In this statement, Knox and Marston portray globalisation as having a symbiotic relationship with places and communities wherein each part is shaped and influenced by the others, building upon and changing their existing structures without losing the inherent nature of what they are. The reality of globalisation can be somewhat more complex, as through this reconstruction aspects are inevitably lost or overwhelmed in the process, however globalisation cannot completely erase global differences, as difference is an intrinsic aspect of globalisation’s success. If the “foundations of the modern world are industrialization, colonization and the international market economy” (Knox & Marston, 2015, p. 87) the success of globalisation relies on how regions and communities respond to and use these forces for their own gain. In the cases of the rapid industrialisation of Shenzhen in south China and the aftermath of colonisation in Mauritius, both regions have actively responded to globalisation and involved themselves in the international market economy in order to build their own success. These places are active participants in globalisation and thereby reconstruct the meaning of globalisation as much as globalisation is restructuring them.

Globalization, according to the Levin Institute (2016), has allowed an increase in the amount of people and goods moving throughout the world. Both people and goods have the ability to carry disease with them across the borders of our nations. Attempts to reduce the amount of international trade and travel do not provide a reasonable solution to this problem. The world continues to become more connected and the focus needs to be on ways to cope with this change instead of seeking to limit it. It is my belief that the focus should be on sharing medical information and creating preventative measures for disease. By educating more people on what causes diseases to spread, we can help reduce the amount of people inadvertently passing diseases to others.

Driven by trade and investment, and aided by technology, globalization has massive effects on the environment, human rights, and human health. Globalization is defined as the process of integration and interaction among people and companies of different nations. Considering its total impact, globalization benefits thriving nations while leading to the suffering of developing countries, despite the promise of prosperity and growth. Moreover, globalization comes at great costs to the environment. Because of conspicuous consumption associated with globalization, there is overexploitation of land for natural resources, excessive burning of fossil fuels, and excessive waste to the point that only 1% of products consumed in the US are not disposed of within 6 months. Globalization has also caused human rights violations. Many corporations have accusations against them for social injustices against workers with unfair working conditions and wages. Examples of these human rights violations can be found in sweatshops that are used by many companies from Walmart to Hanes . Notably, globalization has caused many human health issues. An example of health risks is reflected in the widespread accessibility and use of tobacco that has caused a rise in a variety of respiratory illnesses. The World Health Organization estimates that 10 million people a year will die over the next two

Sex Trafficking is just another name for modern-day slavery, wherein the victims involved are forced and deceived into labor and sexual exploitation. When you hear labor, you think of money right? Believe it or not, sex trafficking is a big producer of money and why the world has so much money! So here's the big question.. how does globalization influence sex trafficking in Mexico? And basically, it is like a domino effect… one country does it and becomes a part of it, then they gain money and become richer, and then other countries see how good that certain country is doing, and it goes along throughout the whole world. But focusing on Mexico, the government of Mexico sees that they are becoming richer somehow, and they don’t question it at all… because the big point here is globalizing, making money, right? What is globalization you might be ask, and the answer is that this is the process in which big companies or organizations develop international influence and make money. Globalization is worldwide, we can't stop it, whether it's human exploitation on farms for certain companies, or in this case sex trafficking, so everyone is affected by this… if it's the rich, they get richer, and if it's the poor, they get poorer.

Additionally, Roger Waldinger’s How the Other Half Works provides the perfect example of how globalization can affect the labor market of not only developing nations, but also the markets of heavily developed countries like the United States. Waldinger states, “The immigrants were different from ‘us,’ but their differences served as a positive signal for selection; the immigrants ‘otherness’; was associated with a set of behavioral characteristics that employers generally liked” (Waldinger, 161). While the idea that the outsourcing associated with globalization is responsible for essentially taking away jobs from workers in prosperous countries, this quotation and the article as a whole provide evidence that demonstrates that even when provided with those job opportunities, American’s aren’t as willing to perform the job as well as immigrants who possess qualities more similar to workers in impoverished nations. In prosperous nations, such as the United States, it is more difficult to find legal citizens that are willing to perform low skill jobs. There are many people feel that basic American education makes them overqualified for positions that require difficult work, yet don’t pay a substantial wage. Employers seek workers with specific behavioral characteristics, such as minimal hostility towards authority, reliability, and dedication to the job, which is what often leads them to outsource production to developing countries with desperate populations willing to work

Each year, globalization plays a more profound role in regards to the national economies of the world. Globalization has allowed for the expansion of corporations beyond their natural domestic limits. As such it has contributed to an increased standard of living for those who embrace its presence. Free trade therefore, is a welcomed addition within the overarching trend of globalization. Free trade allows for the transfer of goods and services when demanded by specific economies. It also allows the countries best suited for such activities to flourish. For example, China is proficient in manufacturing which allows the country to export far more goods than it imports. Developed nations such as Europe, America, and to a smaller extent, Japan demand these cheaper goods as they import more than they export. This trade allows both parties to subsequently flourish. China can sell its products to generate addition funding to expand its economy while America and Europe have access to low costs goods and services. With the advent of globalization, Chinese manufactures are better equipped to expand overseas to expand their manufacturing competitive advantage. This expansion allows lower cost goods and services to reach otherwise inaccessible areas of the world, thus increasing their standard of living. A shirt that once cost $15 now only costs $5. Society benefits as more dollars
