Title: Globalisation a force for good?
Introduction
“Globalisation as an economic process is often
Characterised as increasing economic integration
Achieved through the increasingly free flow of
Capital, goods and services and people across
National boundaries” (John Humphrey 2004)
With regards to the above definition of globalization, the general implication is that globalization solely benefits private sectors entities, where as it can be seen detrimental to vulnerable societies. I disagree with this definition to a certain extent, globalization as an inevitable natural phenomenon has a positive effect on global trade, integration, though multinational corporations and First world countries are usually the beneficiaries.
The Essay will focus on the different factors Globalization has an influence on, culturally, financially and politically. The essay will look at and cover different advantages and disadvantages of each factor specifically and each paragraph will be grouped to one factor exclusively, the essay will be widely cited. Main Body
Paragraph One
Topic sentence: Culture aspect of globalisation
When looking at culture, the paragraph will primarily try to split culture into pro and cons while also taking into account the stance taken on the essay, and will look to provide further supporting evidence to support the position taken.
Advantages
When looking at the impact technology has had on globe with relation to globalisation, we look at accelerated integration, through the development of fibre optics, the internet and mobile technology, this has spawned the spread of people’s ideas and trade, this will continue to offer enormous potential for poverty as discussed by (Ian Goldin, 2012). This statement is closely linked to the one prior, “acceleration in the degree and intensity of the connections among different Cultures and different regions. This is mainly due to advances in telecommunication” as stated
