Because of the global economy, many goods including what we use as daily basics produced by other countries have to be transported for a long distance. To what extent do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

Globalisation has revolutionized our world in many aspects. Now, we do not belong to the biggest planet Earth. We own a small global village. Everything is available everywhere. There are many advantages and disadvantages of transporting

goods

over a long distance. In my opinion, the pros outweigh the cons. On the positive side, transporting

goods

over a long distance gives us a lot of choices. We can taste a variety of fruits and vegetables from all parts of the world.

For example

, about ten years ago, we hardly saw the kiwi fruit, which is from New Zealand.

Nevertheless

, now it has a place on every fruit stand. Earlier, We

now the market is flooded with Reeboks, Nike, Adidas and other Foreign brands.

Secondly

, many people get employment in the import and export field. Small businesses have a chance to expand globally and it increases the

overall

economy of the country.

Finally

, it helps in developing good relations between countries, which helps in international cooperation and peace. If countries are dependent upon one another for economic success,

then

they would not go against each other.

On the other hand

, importing

goods

can harm local culture.

For instance

, Indians used to give a lot of importance to the family meal, wherein all the members sat around the table and conversed with each other over dinner,

the young generation is going for fast foods and prefers to eat alone.

Secondly

, diversity is being lost and everyone is wearing similar clothes, eating similar food, watching the same TV programs and listening to the same music.

This

is making the whole world dull. Another major disadvantage is pollution. When

goods

are transported thousands of miles by road, sea and air, it increases pollution from exhaust fumes.

To conclude

, Importing

goods

has both merits and demerits but the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
