~"@__Going global__ @"~ As in the past, so at the present and in the  future people   interact with each other. This leads to the fact that they share their experiences, share different things. This process is called «Globalization». I believe, that it can be described as a process by which the people of the world are unified into a single society and function together. And this process is a combination of economic, technological, sociocultural and political forces. It's a movement of people, goods, capital and ideas due to increased economic integration. I think, globalization is a controversial issue because it can be interpreted in different ways. One think, that globalization is a threatening word. It prompts visions of large multinationals dominating the world in pursuit of ever-higher profits. Many people have fear that globalization threatens the environment as well as national cultures - they predict that it will make the rich nations richer and the developing countrieseven poorer than they are. Other believe, that increasing and  freer trade   between nations will offer prosperity and   economic growth   for all countries and businesses. Globalization has the following benefits: 1. An opportunity to learn more about cultures of different nations. 2. A good variety of choice for consumers: when they can buy not only  home   -produced goods but also foreign ones. 3. Transnational corporations create additional work places for local people, at the same it is convenient for these large corporations as well: they may locate the labour-intensive part of their  production process   in countries with a relative abundance of labour in order to minimize their costs. The   disadvantages of globalization    are: 1. Pollution of the environment (developed countries try to locate their harmful for the environment factories and works not in their own countries but in  developing countries   ). 2. It destroys cultural identity, for example Europeans usually try to impose their customs and traditions on Asian people 3. Multinational corporations prefer to use cheap labour-force of developing countries for instance in Asia. And at the same time they provide their workers with bad and sometimes even awful working conditions. 4. It's difficult for domestic producers to compete with multinational corporations especially if it's an infant industry. In conclusion I should say, that we don't actually know to what globalization can lead, we don't realize its consequences. So that, I believe, we should «globalize» accurately, because globalization is something than we can’t see but we can feel the effects of it.
