Advantages and Disadvantages of Globalization

Advantages and Disadvantages of Globalization.

Globalization is term used to describe the trend
towards countries joining together economically,
through politics, and education. Countries joining
together economically view their own selves not just
through their national identities, but as part of the
world as a whole.
Globalization has many benefits and disadvantages
and they are here to stay. Basically, the First World or
Global North countries are those that will benefit from
globalization. Rich countries like UK, Germany, and the
United States can sell more goods and products to
poorer markets on the Global South.
Local businesses and brands in developing nations
can go bankrupt as huge corporations in developed
nations can dominate the economy of their country.
Local traditions and cultures may change. People in
poor counties may no longer wear their cultural
costumes as they would want to look like the stars in
Hollywood.
Also, globalization has made it possible for non-
English speaking countries to learn speaking English.
More and more schools in developing nations are
teaching their students how to speak this global
language.

countries. The increases capital liquidity has allowed
investors in well developed nations to invest in
developing countries. Huge corporations from
developed nations have great flexibility to operate in
other countries.

global mass media to tie the world together. Global
mass media has allowed vital information to be shared
between corporations and individuals around the
world. Globalization has also contributed to greater
speed and ease of transporting goods and people.
3. Eradicates Cultural Barriers
Countries joining together economically through
politics and education have reduced and can even
eradicate cultural barriers, and increase the global
village effect. Globalization has seen to be the medium
to spreading of democratic ideals to well developed
nations and greater independence to developing
countries in the Global South.
4. Reduction Of War
Reduction of war between well developed nations is
probably one of the primary benefits of globalization.

controlled by huge corporations. This could limit the

to stay. It has advantages and disadvantages, and
these things will not disappear. People just need to
know how to reap its benefits and reduce its risks.
People must understand its impact globally, and work
altogether to remedy the problems that may arise in
