Globalization

has benefited most of the countries.

However

, everything has two sides,

globalization

may

also

have disadvantages. In

this

essay, I will discuss both the pros and cons of

globalization

in today's

world

.

First

of all,

globalization

has greatly influenced the

world

's economy in many positive ways. Most of the businesses are becoming increasingly international.

Globalization

allows a free trade practice. With the unlimited export of goods, the market of a country will get larger. The unlimited import will

also

allow citizens to have access to imported products.

Furthermore

, with foreign investments in a country, a rise in employment will follow. No one can deny that the positive aspects of

globalization

will help the countries' economy to prosper.

Moreover

, if more people will be employed,

this

could result in a low poverty rate in the developing countries, like the Philippines. On the other end of the spectrum,

globalization

may

also

harm business industry of other countries that cannot compete for as much versus the multinational companies.

Thus

, small business and medium scale establishments may have to close down.

As a result

,

globalization

can

also

lead to unemployment and exploitation. Followed by

this

, other companies may move to other countries where labour is cheap. Because of the

globalization

, the traditional way of life and simplicity are getting washed away and people in developing countries are mimicking the western cultures which might lead to a devastating situation on a

country's

heritage and tradition. The locally made products are being replaced by the international brands and that has a very negative and long-term effect on a

country's

business growth. In conclusion, I believe that

globalization

as a concept has noble intentions and is beneficial to countries that have developed fully and are ready to compete in the

world

market.

Nevertheless

, governments and companies should use a fair approach by taking appropriate steps for the country to become ready and to engage in a free trade economy around the

world

.
