Glоbаlizаtiоn hаs been prоceeding at a furious pace over the past several decades. It allows for the freer movement of goods and services, ideas, information technology and peoples. This has caused upheavals in laws, cultures, languages, and economic production. So, perhaps globalization may be seen as a kind of “Pandora’s Box” containing both positive and negative effects. Globalization is also internally contradictory in that it can level the playing field by making access to global markets and finance open to new actors, thus increasing wealth in developing countries. However, it may, at the same time, cause even more income disparities in the world and accelerate the loss of cultures, languages and traditional ways of life. On the other hand, increased globalization may also fuel a backlash in anti-immigration and protectionist trade policies. 1. Please describe one or two “positive” elements of globalization and contrast them with certain other “negative” impacts of globalization. In your view, can there be a reconciliation of the two? Please feel free to consider and discuss your own experiences and views of globalization from your own personal perspective.
