Countries are becoming more and more similar because people are able to buy the same products anywhere in the world. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

Nowadays, with

globalisation

, people can buy items which were once available only in a small number of countries. In some ways, it can be seen that countries have become increasingly similar. Personally, I think that

this

is a good development in many respects and I will explain why.

Firstly

,

globalisation

has a good impact because it allows people to acquire things which

otherwise

would have been impossible to buy. Indeed, many countries have progressed due to

this

.

For instance

, in Mauritius, cars are imported mainly from Japan and Germany.

This

has enabled many Mauritians to buy cars, which is an important aspect of a comfortable life.

Moreover

, these days there are many online websites

such

as AliExpress and Amazon where practically anything from abroad can be bought, and

this

gives many e-shoppers a sense of satisfaction since they are able to possess quality products from many important brands of especially western countries.

Furthermore

, buying from countries abroad eventually means that the population are adopting different modes of living

such

as the way they dress, the different types of housing structures, among others. It should be noted that these days, even furnitures can be bought from the other end of the world; many companies sell their ready-made kitchen sets outside their country.

Thus

, dreams of many people are being fulfilled.

Additionally

, with

this

facility of buying from other countries without the need to travel is an advantage for many people. Admittedly, I acknowledge the fact that many people might say that there is a loss of local culture from

globalisation

.

However

,

this

is a minor inconvenience which originates more from mass media. In conclusion, I firmly believe that

globalisation

is a positive development for a country because it allows its citizens to explore more of the outer world while staying in their home. It

also

allows the country to boost its economy because of many imported goods in which the government puts taxes.
