Globalization referred to as Americanization by some people is considered a set of complex processes by which goods services capital ideas and culture are exchanged on the international level. This means that globalization is not just an economic phenomenon but also political technological cultural and social in its scope as Anthony Giddens claims in his essay Globalization (17).
Many writers including Giddens and G. Pascal Zachary acknowledge both the positive and negative effects of globalization. Supporters argue that globalization benefits the world through the promotion of such ideals as human rights democracy and freedom and that it enhances the prosperity of the world through free trade free investment and better technology (Norberg).
On the other hand critics argue that we need to control the runaway global process because it widens economic inequality (Giddens 22); increases consumption of world resources (Rooney) resulting in environmental disaster (Zachary 29); creates homogeneity among world cultures (OConnor 162); and violates local norms of propriety (Bayles 174).
What do you think? Do the costs of globalization outweigh its benefits? (It’s essay question!!!)
