While globalization is seen as a sign of a hopeful future by someone, there are others who believe that it can cause tremendous disaster for the world economy. Globalization offers many advantages to the people and businesses, which include greater employment opportunities for people, availability of greater variety of goods and services to the consumers, more competitive price to the competitors, ability of companies to achieve lower costs, access to bigger markets to business firms and also faster and wider spread of new technologies across the world.

Globalization may also lead to faster spread of infectious disease, for people animals and plants. Such infection may be
