Competing with the global giants
England had always been considered to be one of the most civilised nations in the world, gathering from the country's vast historical stories and researches, England has gone through many civilisation phases as the country slowly emerges into globalisation. It is these journeys which defines England as how it is today. We have learnt of many driven influences and factors which has led this mighty nation into a civilised success, and this paper will explore all of the possible driving factors behind this great nation, and the reason for its undefeated economical standing and the highly regarded and prestigious education standards it possesses. Not only is England one of the most famous countries in the world, it is also one of the most famous from the West and United States of America. The strategy they decide to choose to keep them in this same power will ultimately steer the country's predictions for the future of globalisation. In previous times, humans walked and swam as a way of traveling, it was very difficult to communicate long distances; for example, if we walked 100 miles without stopping, it would take 1 day to get to the destination. For this reason, most countries' development was very slow and each country had a different level of technology because they could not share knowledge or ideas with each other. However, this situation began to change after Europeans improved naval techniques which allowed Europeans to travel to other continents. The Europeans have a higher level of technology than other continents, since it was easy to take possession of vital informative resources forcefully from other nations. This was the beginning of colonialism: Between the 16th and 20th centuries, European countries controlled at various times the Americas, most of Africa, Oceania, and large portions of Asia (Lewis & Wigen 1997, p. 226). The primary reason why Europeans tried to occupy many countries as they can is because the colonies have to give tribute to them, for instance with gold, metal ores, diamonds, ivory and spices. Accordingly, if they had numerous colonies that means they could obtain many tribute and when they had many tribute they could use it to develop their countries to be mightier. After the Second World War, most colonies gained independence from the Europeans, which allowed them to be able to manage the development of their own country; Moreover, most newly independent countries try to improve his country's development as fast as they can because they had many experiences when they were under the control of mighty countries.

Therefore, some of these countries become the largest economies in the world, for example China, Brazil, India, South Korea and even Germany and Japan who were defeated in World War II. On the other hand, after the process of decolonisation, once powerful countries who previously desired to possess other countries discovered a new way to rule over other nationsNeocolonialism. Neocolonialism is the practice of using capitalism, globalisation, and cultural forces to control a country.This is possible because now we can connect to news, movies, songs, stocks and anyone you would like to talk with, very conveniently by your mobile phone or computer (Kwame Nkrumah. 1966.). Furthermore, most people do not know if their own country has been possessed by another country, for example, some countries had sold their electricity and water supply, not knowing the effect until after having sold it. The ability to control four main requisites: food, clothes, accommodation and medical care, would mean the ability to control that particular country. It is difficult to predict what is going to happen in the future but we do know that the rate of population global growth increases every year. This brings on the scenario of rising food prices and scarcity of food supply in our world; for this reason, it is a golden opportunity for Agrarian countries to develop because they can profit by selling expensive food and uses this to develop their country. For example, in my homeland, Ubonratchathani, we are the world's largest exporter of rice, and rice is the most important main food for a large part of the world's human population, especially in East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, The Middle East, and the West Indies (Smith, Bruce D. 1998). Rice is the gran with the third highest global production, after corn and wheat, because rice provides energy and it is easy to cook and make with other foods. The next important resource is power, it is inevitable that in the future, oil supplies are going to be exhausted and this makes most countries try to explore new energy sources. Biodiesel is one of the new energy forms (Mehrer, L C., et al. 2006). Furthermore, Thailand was the first nation to launch biodiesel as a national product. It was reported that the research was started by the Royal Chitrada Project, a royal sponsored project to help rural farmers. Several biodiesel plants which are operating in Thailand uses excess palm oil, vegetable oil, coconut oil, Jatropha curcas Linn, and tallow. Industrial countries are going to need to buy more food because they cannot produce enough food for their people. For instance, the countries in snow or desert will find it difficult because they scarcely produce any food. Finally in the past, most of the mighty countries tried to get as many resources as they could from their colonies to make them to become bigger than other countries. Many countries still jostle to be the biggest nation by using capitalism, globalisation, and cultural forces to control other countries

to get as much benefit as they can. In the same way, in the future they are still going to try to be as how they had been trying in the past to be the mightiest. Nevertheless, in the future it would be difficult because most of the past colonies have had their experience and are now trying to develop themselves to be as equal, and also the world's population has increased, which turns mighty countries (which are the industrial countries) unable to produce enough good and resources for their own people No. of words : 998
