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?

Using identical products all around the world has made all
nations
look almost the same, as
people
can purchase similar
goods
in different countries. I call it positive progress in globalization. Nowadays all the
nations
are moving toward globalization at a fast pace and “the more looking the same” is not an exception.
Firstly
, the coherence
that is
made by using similar
goods
is very positive, because
people
can all use the same things, so they can all enjoy the good quality products
such
as a branded cell phones wherever they are.
Secondly

the impact that it’s got on creating jobs cannot be denied. There will be more job opportunities as countries need to import and export
goods
. For ,example if we look at the clothing industry, we can figure out that large numbers of population work for these companies, there are selling departments, packing groups and shipping companies to deliver the
goods
to the destination port and
finally
there are local distributors who sell to shops and boutiques. So many
people
are involved and can benefit from
this
industry.
On the other hand
, while it’s a positive development it’s got drawbacks too. Some local businesses lose their jobs because
people
tend to buy trendy products,
such
as fashionable clothes.
Consequently

some cultural heritage will slowly fade away. Another disadvantage can be the environmental effects of producing and shipping.
For example
, we can see very large quantities of garments and clothes produced by international companies every year and shipped by large carriers that are polluting the environment which has adverse environmental effects on air and water and on the whole ecosystems of the earth. In conclusion, as the world is going through a global modernization and the fast connection of
nations
,
this
change is inevitable,
therefore
it is logical that
people
and countries look more similar in every aspect which I believe can be a positive development through the cohesion that we can see among all
nations
.
