Some think increasing business and cultural contact between nations is positive. Others think it leads to the disappearance of the national identity. Discuss both views and state your own opinion.

Globalization
has been around for thousands of years. It goes back to the silk road area, but in recent years it has become more popular due to the advancement of technology and transportation.
Therefore
, some are arguing that
this
phenomenon has brought more detrimental effects than advantages. In
this
essay I will be discussing both views and why I believe that
globalization
pros outweigh its cons.
To begin
with, the major advantage that
globalization
has given us is access to new cultures.
globalization
made it easier than ever to access foreign cultures including food, music, art.

cost has helped individuals in both developed and developing
countries
to live better on less money.
furthermore
,
this
has improved the standard of living in developing nations . According to the WORLD BANK extreme poverty has declined by 35% worldwide since 1990 and
this
is mainly because of the increased exchange between
countries
and migration which created many job opportunities.
However
, we can not ignore that
globalization
has many drawbacks. The most obvious one is the loss of cultural identity. The uniqueness and the success of certain cultures

many nations begin to lose distinctive traditional features.
In addition
to that
globalization
has affected many
countries
' local economies. More and more people tend to purchase international clothes and goods rather than buying local ones.
Therefore
,
this
has led to economic stagnation . In conclusion,
globalization
has its own pros and cons , but when we look at how
globalization
made our lives more convenient and how it contributed to the economic evolution of many nations we can say that indeed
globalization
's advantages outweigh its disadvantages.
