The Net Effect of Globalization

"to extend to other or all parts of the globe and make worldwide' is the definition of globalization (dictionary.com) Overall, globalization has had both a negative and positive impact on us, and the world. The positive result of globalization are the increasing number of jobs to those who have been outsourced to. Places such as India has experienced this, and it has been helping the economy and money to the country. Globalization has also given a positive impact because it makes our lives easier and faster. The new developed computers and Ipods have made our life more entertaining, and websites such as hotmail and facebook have been efficient in connecting the world together. Not only that, but movies, and chats have made computers an essential in ones life.

Although globalization has had some positive impacts in our world, the negatives are slowly building up alongside it. for example, although India is getting new jobs by the day, jobs from America are being outsourced. Employees in the US are loosing jobs due to outsourcing to other cheaper countries that can do the same amount of work. If this continues to occur, then more people will start losing jobs. Globalization has also impacted the lives of every one of us. Due to the exposure of technology and latest entertainment, the culture of each country is slowly dying out. More people will be using the same technology, wearing similar clothing, eating same foods that no place will be unique. The effects of globalization has two possibilities. Leading the world towards full efficiency, or damaging it permanently.
