Differences between countries become less evident each year. Nowadays all over the world, people share the same fashions, advertising, brands, eating habits, TV channels. Do the advantages of this trend outweigh the disadvantages?
Globalization has accomplished that people from all around the globe follow similar fashion and rock bands, watch the same shows on TV, buy the same products and even have the same food to eat.
This
has clearly more benefits to society than drawbacks
and in Suggestion
the drawbacks
this
essay, I will explain why.
The improvements in communication technologies have increased mainly cultural and language interchange between countries. For instance
, people living in Buenos Aires can learn to speak English online with an Indian teacher, sharing not only language advice
but also
cultural knowledge and food recipes. The second
advantage is that following the same fashions and trends increases socialization attitudes among others. Teenagers, these days, for example
, use the TIKTOK app on their phones and share dances with friends from overseas countries which they had previously met online. Another advantage is that governments share policies, advice
and decision making enhancing others’ experience on the same topics. To illustrate, health advice
has been given and taken regarding CoViD19 all over the world these last
few months improving the outcome of the disease in many countries.
On the other hand
, there are some disadvantages of globalization, such
as the loss of traditional customs which have begun to melt with foreign ones and will later disappear. Namely, in Christmas, Santa Claus, which has been introduced by the American, has erased the belief in Christ and his birth has gone to second
place when speaking about this
holiday. Another negative point is that bad eating habits arrive everywhere and become really fashionable. Junk food chains, for instance
, have become very trendy, worsening noticeably the diet of children and grownups.
In conclusion, whereas there are some drawbacks of sharing with other countries’ cultures such
as the loss of traditional customs and a fall in good eating habits, I think the advantages of culture, language, new relationships and political advice
, immensely outweigh the disadvantages.Submitted by claramorin on
