Problems
1. Countries and people are losing
their culture (some have lost it nearly completely).
2. Developing countries are being taken advantage of (polluting corporations take advantage of the weak developing countries).
3. Poverty is increasing –
developed countries affecting developing countries.
Questions
1. What type of culture is
globalization seriously affecting and how is it getting affected.
2. How do the big companies really
affect the small companies because of globalization.
3. What is creating globalization
and how has it caused this.
Definition: Globalization is the
process of international integration arising from the interchange of world
views, products, ideas, and other aspects of culture. Globalization describes
the interplay across cultures of macro-social forces. These forces include
religion, politics, and economics. Globalization can erode and universalize the
characteristics of a local group. Advances in transportation and
telecommunications infrastructure, including the rise of the Internet, are
major factors in globalization, generating further interdependence of economic
and cultural activities.
Answers
1.
Globalization affects culture
because when people of different cultures and from different places come
together and share what they have, they get to know each other. They bring back
what they have learned and it enters into society and culture. For example: if
a female student from a society that does not let women do much comes to New
Zealand as an exchange student, she might learn about how our society works. Then
she may might go back home and decide to start working for women's rights. In
the long run her visit could effect her entire culture.
2.
Large small companies are
getting affected because of globalization. This is because globalization means
that companies get worldwide and rule over every small country. Without
globalization, there wouldn’t be ruling companies that create globalization
because they won’t be world-wide and dominating.
3.
One way that Globalisation is
increasing is because of increasing technology. This is because transport is
getting easier and faster. Planes these days can fly us all over the world and
therefore more travelling to different countries is easy. Also electric
communication technology (phones and the internet) is creating this. This is
because communicating is getting really easy and now people can communicate
through countries and places really easily. Finally, another reason for
globalization are big companies. If we take McDonalds as an example, this
company is basically the top selling fast food restaurant in the whole world.
