Although glabalisation can be positive for some nations' economies, the negative impact on local communities should not be ignored. Do you agree or disagree?

While

globalisation

contributes to the economic growth of some countries, some argue that the drawbacks associated with it should not be taken for granted.

This

essay completely agrees with

this

statement because its disadvantages,

such

as the spread of diseases, and damage to the environment, can be detrimental to one country.

To begin

with, one of the significant disadvantages of

globalisation

is that it can easily transfer disease from one border to another. Because of the ease of travel among nations, the spread of disease became quicker too, which can lead to outbreaks.

For instance

, the coronavirus has spread quickly to multiple nations and it killed millions of people on the planet. And it took some time before countries were able to recover from

this

pandemic.

Thus

, the detrimental effects of

globalisation

should not be overlooked.

In addition

to that,

globalisation

contributes to the damage to the environment. The investment of rich countries in developing nations allows them to utilize the resources available domestically.

However

, they may exploit the resources of the local community leaving nothing to them. Companies may prioritize their profit over implementing sustainable practices.

For example

, most mining companies in the Philippines are owned by foreign investors.

This

has led to the deforestation of mountains, and

as a result

, the country always experiences extreme flooding whenever there is a typhoon. In conclusion, though

globalisation

can help improve the economy, its disadvantages outweigh its advantages.

Thus

, I believe that the drawbacks associated with it,

such

as the possible transmission of infections and its negative impact on the environment, must not be disregarded.
