GLOBALIZATION
GLOBALIZATION
Globalization
is the process of global economic political and cultural integration. It has
made the world become a small village. The burden has been broken down between
countries.
The
history goes back to the second half of the twentieth century, the development of transport and
communication led the situation where by national borders appeared to be too
limiting for economic activities (economic globalization in developing country
2002).
The
globalization is playing an increasingly important role in developing countries
it can be seen that globalization has the certain advantages such as economic
process, technological development, political influences, health system, social
and natural environmental factors. It has a lot of benefits on our daily life.
Globalization
has created the some opportunities such as technology transfer hold out
promise, greater opportunities to access developed countries markets growth and
improved productivity and living standard.
However,
it is not true that all effect of this phenomena are positive because has also brought
up new challenges such as commercial and financial markets increase inequality
across and within national.
The
introduction it evaluates the positive and negative impacts of globalization in
the following proportions:
·
Economic and trade processes field
·
Education and health system
·
Culture effect
Advantages
of globalization in economic and trade processes field
Globalization
helps the developing country to deal with rest of the world increase their
economic growth. Globalization has been used/take place in order to make
solving of the poverty problem in their countries in the past the developing
country were not able to tap developing country due to the trade barrier. The
developed country they were able to invest in developing nations creating job
opportunities for the poor people for example in rapid growth in India and
China to see that the globalization has made the relationship between developed
country and developing nation stronger. It made each country developed on other
the developing country depends on developed country for increase for resources flows and technology, but
developed country depends heavily on developing countries for raw materials,
food and oil and markets for industrial goods one of most important of
advantages of globalization are gods and people are transport easier and faster
as a result free trade between countries has increased and it decreased the
possibility of war between countries furthermore the growth in the
communication between the individuals and companies in the world helped to
raise the free trade between countries and this led to growth the economy.
But
also the globalization has the disadvantages in the world like poor marketing
crops according to know days the countries which beneficial with this is
developing country like USA, UK become poor country have cultivated their crops
and the end of the day that developing countries make the price of two crops so
that led the poor countries to be poor permanently because they will get money
that can help them to afford needs effectively when you compare with hardened
of the job so that is the negative impact of globalization to some countries
especially poor country.
Education
and health system
Globalization
contributes to develop the health and education system in developing countries
we see that the education increased in recent years. Because globalization has
a catalyst to the jobs that require higher skills. This demand allowed people
to get/gain higher education, health and education are objectives to improve
any nation and there are strong relationship between economic growth and health
and education system.
Through
growth economies, living standard and life expectancy for the developing
nations certain get better with more fortunes poor nation are able to supply
good health care, services and sometimes to their people. In addition the
government of developing country can provide more money for health and
education to the poor which led to decrease the nation of illiteracy. It is
true that living standard and life expectancy of developing countries increase
through economic gain from globalization. In addition, globalization helps
doctors and other scientists to contribute to discover many diseases which
spread by human animals and birds and it helped them to create medicines to
with these diseases for example HIV/AIDS, swine flu, and bird flu, whole world
know also at these disease and they know to avoid it. By globalization, these
are many international organizations such as Non-Governmental Organization
(NGO’s), World Health Organization (WHO) and UNESCO, trying to eliminate the
illiteracy and deadly diseases to the world and save the life inspite of these
positive effects of globalization to education and health fields in the
developing countries. However globalization could have negative impacts in
these fields; globalization facilitates the spread of new diseases in
developing countries by travelers between countries. Due to increase travel and
trade many diseases like HIV/AIDS
Cultural
effect
Globalization
has many benefits to the culture in developing countries; many developing
countries culture has been changed through globalization and become imitate
other culture such as America and European culture. Before globalization it
would not have been possible to know about other countries and their culture.
Due to important tools of globalization like radio, television, satellite and
internet it is possible today to know what is happening in any country such as
America, Japan, Tanzania, Kenya. Moreover, people worldwide can known each
other better through globalization for example the cultures different from
America.
But
globalization has also negative effect especially to the younger people in the
different poor national it is very common to see young wearing Nike T-shirt and
Adidas foot wear, playing Hip-Hop music using apple, Ipad and Iphone. It is
looks like you can only distinguish them by their language; many developing
countries are concerned rise about the rise of globalization because it might
lead to destroy their own culture, tradition, identity, custom and their
language. Many Arabs country such as Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan as developing
country have affected them negatively in some areas their culture, tradition,
custom have been changed.
Disadvantages
of globalization
Destruction
of culture; this refers to the process whereby the culture of human has been
destructed through globalization, for example nowadays the human culture,
tradition, customs have been destructed for example in Tanzania country they
were not still use their culture because of globalization people are still
copying the tradition others especially from whites from wearing style up to
behavior through globalization people have not still using teir local language
but there are copying and some countries they are copying this from the media
like radio and television where by the globalization has transmitted through
for example the NIRVANA is the programme which deals with fashion shows so some
people copy the wearing style through that, it have more contribution to
destruct the human culture, tradition and customs.
Destruction
of environment example air pollution, water, noise pollution, water pollution,
erosion., due to the globalization it cause the environmental destruction
through the industrialization some industry like Cocacola, they were still to
put their remain chemical in the source of water so that led the water
pollution, and during mining their activities they were cause the air pollution
due to the smoke whereby cause some effect like global warming and green house
effect like air pollution and water pollution is dangerous to the human being
because it has cause some diseases because people using water for cooking,
drinking, so it can led to get some diseases like cholera and other transmitted
diseases which can cause all people to be suffered that diseases.
Moral
erosion; due to globalization nowadays people were not able to be moral from
behavior especially young through the media young and other people have
watching the movies which can cause the moral erosion, for example when the
African people or Tanzanian when see the tradition movies like Hollywood it can
contribute the moral erosion of the certain culture so through globalization
people they were not able to mention their moral.
In
conclusion, as we can see the process of globalization has involved all the
countries (whole world) such as Indian, China, Africa, Iraq, Syria and many
others affected by globalization and whether negatively or positively the
economies of these country empowered under the influence of globalization but
also globalization as well as many customs and culture are disappeared for
example such as tradition clothes and some language and expressions have
changed. In addition the violence and drug abuse are increased and a lot of
deadly diseases like HIV/AIDS have spread under the influence of globalization.
So according to that there is not something that have advantage without having
disadvantage as we see globalization have many advantages to the whole world
but also disadvantage.
