Even though globalization affects the world’s economies in a very positive way, its negative side should not be forgotten. Discuss.

Globalization

is

such

a commonly used term in the twentieth century. It simply means that the world has become integrated economically, socially, politically and culturally through the advances of technology, transportation and communication. It is undeniable that

globalization

has resulted in both positive and negative effects which must be addressed

accordingly

.

To begin

with,

globalization

has contributed to the world’s economies in many beneficial ways. The advances in science and technology have allowed businesses to easily cross over territorial boundary lines.

competitive, thereby

raising the quality of goods, services and the world’s living standard.

Secondly

, several companies from the more developed countries have already ventured to establish foreign operations or branches to take advantage of the low cost of

labor

a social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages

in the poorer countries.

This

kind of business activity will provide more influx of cash or investment funds into the less developed countries.

However

, one cannot deny the negative effects which have derived from

globalization

. One crucial social aspect is the risk and danger of epidemic diseases which can easily be spread as the transportation becomes easier and faster in today’s advanced society.

This

is evidenced in the recent

evolve which may pose certain power pressure on the local governments of the less developed countries. Unemployment rates in the more developed regions

escalate as corporations choose to outsource to the cheaper work force from Asian countries. In conclusion. I like to reiterate that
