The Possible Outcomes of Globalization
Human beings rescue always been dirty, corrupt, deceitful and horrible. But humans as well as lose some redeeming factors that account for our original state of relative peace, our ability to innovate, the ability for great kindness and to c ar for other living things. All because each individual person is as various as the last with their own unique experiences and morals and standards that accumulate to our own incredibly different personalities and attitudes. Yet there are those who believe that striping us of the things that makes us s tender be a great improvement on society even when the evidence elevations elsewhere. There is a very induce disagreement in our society about what we should do and what the benefits of globalization are. Black and White sides to a very grey issue. Usually plenty on the mighty imparting say that globalization is a good thing, giving you this Claims increase in diversity and creativity, trade becomes easier and cheaper, goods become to a greater extent accessible and cheaper, and that everyone will be materially richer. Countries are becoming more a equal in the sense of offering some more commonly diverse choices. -Tyler Cowen(supporter of Globalization) The other side to this are heap that are decidedly on the left and they will say things like Homogenization of culture, loss of creativity, total loss of some cultures, people will become easier to control through advertisements, society becomes about working and keeping afloat and not living an actual life, creates violence within people hand over to protect their culture. Fast food ecomes a fueling up ritual but if it social or family values is what you about then its a disaster. -Benjamin barber (advocate against globalization). Although I say most conservatives and most liberals is because some conservatives dont see it for what is and taint into what the businessman would say and that all cultures would get a office of every other culture and are fearfu l of the blending of culture and are against it. Some liberals think that bringing money to the third world countries, and m any an(prenominal) more reasons.This is not to say that the political spectrum doesnt play a role but rather a major one, as most people on the right see it for what it is and support it because globalization creates wealth for the multinational corporations and pulverizes the native peoples culture and making them more focused on work and it becomes a win-win situation. Liberals are fearful of the corporation as once the people are on the bandwagon its very easy to keep them on it and the power of the people of those nations falls to the businesses.Another reason for concern on the part of all citizens regardless of political ideologies is the outsourcing of jobs, which we are already seeing the effects of as unemployment unemployment rate contemptible to 9. 5% in the U. S. , the highest level since 1983. The same thing happened around the globe the unempl oyment rate surged to record high values. -London Forex Broadsheet. My opinion is that there are large lucre and some very hard losses to be had.On one side it boosts the local economy and overall wealth of the certain poorer country, and poverty by any measure is a horrible thing to live in. Unfortunately it destroys the culture that has survived for possibly thousands of years Just over 38% of global cultures are in danger of extinction or are already extinct-UNESCO and we lose some of the history that makes the world the way it is, also globalization sight destroy the local environment and cause serious physical injury and sickness. About one half of the forests that covered the Earth are gone.Each year, another 16 meg hectares disappear. -globalchange. umich. edu And the only reason they live in poverty is not because theyre useless and lazy but because of the current global economic system we use. So overall I believe that the losses outweigh the possible gains. The driving forces behind globalization is the corporations they first lobby the government to build an airport saying it will bring more tourists and money. afterwards they move in and set up factories (depending on the ethics or pressure put on them by the public) or sweatshops.So the increased touristry brings foreign ideas and technology like democracy, freedom, wealth, internet, computers, TVs, etc. After they make some money in a dangerous exploit or a low paying factory they buy a TV/Computer and they see what we have and they want it, they see our monolithic houses and big cars and they will save up and buy one. when they do that they adopt our north ameri mess culture and they stop going to church because they can get more money working weekends, they dress like we do and act like we do.They want to be like us so they tell their parents that their culture is leaden and look how this new culture brought us out of poverty, and how we dont have to pick through garbage anymore. Once p eople think like this and act like this it causes other people to join them, thinking Well he has a car a house and nice clothes, why cant I have that? So as more people drop their culture and uniqueness the faster it speeds up. The possibilities of an outcome of this en masse channel towards a North American lifestyle are endless, but what is almost certain is the fact that 99. % of the time this will end badly and not on the nose for the humans that live here but the entire planet. So I will propose 3 scenarios that generally cover the possible outcomes at this spirit level in time. Scenario 1) As more and more people get cars, computers, and use more electricity the CO2 emissions increase exponentially and we get to a tipping point in the atmosphere and a cascade/domino effect happens. Methane from the bottom of the ocean is released into the atmosphere and the Earth heats up even more.Then the Amazon burns heating plant it even more, etc. etc. and the world fries and after 100000 years the Earth is plunged into an ice age. By the way almost everyone died. Scenario 2) As more and more jobs are outsourced to cheaper labour the North American way of life collapses because theres no jobs and with no money you cant buy anything. Then the whole global economic market crashes and burns. World is plunged into WWIII for the remaining resources, nuclear bombs are launched, whole countries become uninhabitable.Billions die. Scenario 3) In a global driving we switch over to renewable resources and solve the global energy crisis and with that we are able to stabilize the economy and regain peace. It is then possible to help and provide electricity to developing countries. There are many proposed solutions to the crisis we are dealing with but just as with many other problems many of the solutions prove to be ineffective or even more harmful. So what will it take to have a solution that will save us?Unfortunately its as well late to have a gradual change that woul d allow for people to adapt comfortably to the new lifestyle that i am about to propose. We will have to do this quickly and without hesitation because the longer we wait the more painful this will be. In scenario 3 of the last paragraph is what we will have to do as currently many of the wars being fought around the world are about or were started by the need of the black gold, oil, and n coif to restore peace we need to switch over to a more renewable way of life especially here in North America. non only will this reduce the incentive to kill each other over something that will become increasingly obsolete but it will also help calm the people who are angry at the way we live here because of our wastefulness. Also legislation by the government will have to be passed in order to make it harder for corporations to treat people poorly and pay them less, also make them create jobs in their home (eg US, Canada, UK, etc. ) countries.Increased tourism from more money and cheaper bills will help reinforce the local cultures as people usually travel to see the culture. Advertisements will have to be localized and not forcing the American way of life down peoples throats. I believe that this will, if not completely solve this issue, help out greatly. Unfortunately people cant see what is happening around them and then when they finally realize what has happened its too late, and that is the problem, why we cant solve this crisis and why we cant solve many other difficult issues that exist.The fact is that until something catastrophic happens no one will do anything about it, history shows this and as the saying goes tarradiddle always repeats itself. Globalization will continue to be a problem for a very long time and when the mass population sees what has happened it will be too late. all we can do is support groups in foreign countries that try to sustain the culture and language of their ancestors.
