Because of improvements in traffic infrastructure now it is easy to reach one’s destination in a relatively short period of time. This great phenomenon can be called as globalization. Globalization has been defined in many different ways, but central to most of them is that globalization is the interaction between different countries in order to improve the global economy and society. Furthermore, “process by which regional economies, societies, and cultures have become integrated through a global network of political ideas through communication, transportation, and trade is classified as globalization”. There are three main factors that contribute to globalization are the efficiency of international transportation, making international trade and enterprise profitable and growth of the informational technologies. Cause 1 One of the factors that lead to the process of globalization is the efficiency of international transportation as a fundamental element of supporting the global economy and market as whole. International transportation it is a factor that causes international trade to spread faster, because international trade needs infrastructures which can support trade between some firms.

These topics are raised as we discuss globalization as an economic culture and a source of conflict due to the imperative change in methods of production and consumption. What is globalization? There are a lot and different proposed definition of globalization as "the set of processes of global and regional integration" currently underway at the global level . One of the most successful definitions of “globalization” is the one given by the English sociologist Anthony Giddens . according to which the term refers to "the intensification of worldwide social relations which are able to link really distant localities, making sure that local happenings are shaped by events occurring many miles away and vice versa". Giddens believes that globalization has the characteristics typical of modernity , including the idea of the nation state, the capitalist economy, the division of labor and militarism. Globalization is thus essentially an expansion of the western Europe modernity and way...

...In The Psychology of Globalization (2002) , Jeffery Arnett says that “As local cultures change in response to globalization, most people manage to adapt to the changes and develop a bicultural or hybrid identity that provides the basis for living in their local culture and also participating in the global culture. However, for some people, adapting to the rapid changes taking place in their cultures is more difficult. The images, values, and opportunities they perceive as being part of the global culture undermine their belief in the value of local cultural practices. At the same time, the ways of the global culture seem out of reach to them, too foreign to everything they know from their direct experience. Rather than becoming bicultural, they may experience themselves as excluded from both their local culture and the global culture, truly belonging to neither”. According to Arnett’s statement there are some countries or regions in the world where the local people are having difficulties in adopting the changes that are taking place. in his article The Psychology of Globalization he speaks about different terms such as “Culture shedding” which is when people are bound to drop some of their cultures whether it their own choice or not because globalization is dominating the world and there is nothing they can do about it, another term he speaks of is “Marginalization” which is when a person does not want to keep their old cultures any more but they also reject the new cultures...

...The Impact of Globalization on Employment Adrian Armijo April 21, 2016 Abstract This paper focuses on the impact of globalization on employment and provides a thorough analysis based on its pros and cons, as well as its effect on wages in OECD nations. With faster interaction or communication of ideas, the stride of industry growth in the emerging world amplified, producing an upsurge in the job markets. As a result, many emerging countries are now undergoing very positive growth rates. In developing nations, predominantly developing nations, globalization led to an increase in employment, either through new businesses being created or businesses offshoring from industrialized nations. While it may be tough to put an accurate number on this, it can be said that globalization generated more jobs in total than it eliminated. In some countries, globalization has played an extremely important role in relation of enhancing employment. Given these points, globalization has enhanced employment and salaries in emerging nations mainly because of inflows of foreign investment or rises in the price of an emerging nation's export products. Introduction First of all, the primary reason and result of globalization is worldwide trade, which has increased significantly. An increasing trade has frequently been followed by greater financial advance, though not in all cases. The correlation between globalization and employment is of rising importance to policy makers in developing countries...

...Did the experience of emerging countries fully justify the prediction of neo-classical model of financial market globalization? Why or why not? Financial Globalization stems from the idea of Neoclassical Economics where efficient allocations of resources will bring prosperity to nations through globalization. Financial globalization is an aggregate concept that refers to increasing global linkages created through cross- border financial flows. The theory predicts the capital will flow from the more to less developed countries and all nations will gain as a result. However, in reality where market failures and information asymmetries exist, the results of financial globalizations are conflicting with its ideology. Especially in the emerging markets where the economies are even more highly distorted than the developed ones. Studies show mixed results regarding the effects of financial globalization on developing economies. Though the strong supporter of financial globalization are international organization such as IMF, World Bank and United Nations, many academics argued that the theory did not benefit the developing economies, yet worsening them. This essay will be critically analyzed the impacts of financial globalization on emerging countries in economic and social aspects. Growth In principle, financial globalization is greatly beneficial to economic growth in developing countries. Reduction in cost of capital, technology transfer and development of financial sectors...

Many allied countries would supply resources to each other that the other countries do not have. These resources can cover imported products, technology, and even human labor. Many people have observed that this phenomenon may lead to a “one-world government,” which consists of a centralized government for all nations. The nature of globalization and global economic change has been a subject of immense academic research during the past two decades. It is more a phenomenon in need of explanations than a universal cause of empirically observable outcomes in the so-called globalization theory.1* 1*Check references page The effects of economic globalization on developing countries 1- Increased Standard of Living : Economic globalization gives governments of developing nations access to foreign lending.

What is a Globalization? “And we are moving toward a world in which barriers to cross-border trade and investment are declining; perceived distance is shrinking due to advances in transportation and telecommunications technology; material culture is starting to look similar the world over; and national economies are merging into an interdependent, integrated global economic system” (Hill, 2013, p4 ). With the advancement of technology the barriers have been torn down like the “Wall of Berlin”. It has opened our minds to learn about other cultures and to learn about potential business opportunities in those countries. Two of the traditional international trade theories are classical and modern. Major Drivers of Globalization There are two major drivers of globalization. The first is the decline in barriers which allows for the free flow of goods, services and capital. The examples of this driver is the International trade and foreign direct investment.

...GLOBALIZATION AND PUBLIC HEALTH Although, recently there is a growing literature on the importance of globalization for health, the term globalization has for long been used in academic discourse, particularly within the social and political science but relatively new in the discussion within public health. While the processes of globalization are far from straight forward, the concept of health is as well a complex one, which result into no consensus either on the pathways and mechanism through which globalization affects the health of population or on the appropriate policy responses (woodward et al 2001). However, there has been a significant increase interest on the issue of globalization within public health, although a contested one, since authors on public health are still undecided not only on the exact conclusion on the impact of globalization on public health, whether bad or good, but also as to whether globalization has actually cemented its place in the public health lexicon. Nevertheless, it is know that a broad-based public health should take note of significant economic, political and social changes that determine and shape people’s health, and this definitely will call for a proper theoretical approach to globalization in understanding the nature of these contemporary economic, political and social changes (Stuart McClean in Orme et. al. 2007). This essay will describe the relationship between globalization and public health. It will first begin, by exploring...

...1 1 Reasons of Movement and Its Effects People around the world are constantly on the move. There are several different reasons why, and they are categorized on the basis of their reasons for relocation. Several factors determine why people migrate across the globe. A few different categories can explain a majority of the causes of why people move. People are considered labor Migrants, displaced persons, or institutional migrants. These groups of people all have different yet equally significant reasons for moving. Their motives for moving are identified by the terms just listed. Some motives that these people can have are corresponding to current economic situation, political situation, and social situations. Migrations and its effects on people come in many forms. Both vary in terms of the distance involved, the purpose of the move, whether the move was forced or a matter of choice and the migrant’s status in the new destination. Another important effect of migration is globalization and migration. They both have their own way of functioning and their differences will be discussed. First of all, labor migrants are people who travel for economic purposes. They migrate each year to work for a specific length of time. They don’t plan on creating a permanent lifestyle, and they are often explicitly barred from doing so. When this form of migration is legally contracted it if referred to as wage labor migration. The time elapsed working might be brief, or it could extend to...

...Sunflower Movement in Taiwan The Sunflower Movement, which was an Anti-Globalization Movement represented a sophisticated understanding movement of globalization from the university students of Taiwan. Between March 18 to April 10, 2014, hundreds of university students and other protestors occupied the chamber of parliament of Taiwan (Legislative Yuan). On March 17, day before the occupation began, the legislature's Internal Affairs Committee was about to begin a three day debate on the Cross-Strait Services Trade Agreement (CSSTA). However, the CSSTA chairman, Chang Ching-Chung, and a member of Taiwan's governing party of the KMT (Kuomintang), had abandoned and bypassed the committee's review and moved straight forward for legislative approval. The opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) immediately objected strongly on the floor of the chamber once they recognized the action of the Chairman. On March 18, around three hundred students gathered outside of the Legislative Yuan building, protesting to the Ma Ying-Jeou's government for mishandling the CSSTA. They expressed their frustration by the hasty review of the CSSTA, and demanding an article-by-article review of the trade agreement before moving it to the legislative floor. Finally, the government agreed to postpone the adoption of CSSTA and allowed the Internal Affairs Committee reviews all cross-strait agreement before passing for approval. Students waited until all cross-strait agreements had passed before they...

...Is Globalization a positive or negative development for the world? INTRODUCTION What is globalization? Is it the global amalgamation of national economies, socio cultural, technological and political forces into a single and unified community? Is globalization, a strength to achieve prosperity, freedom and economic growth? Or is it rather a force that can cause exploitation of the developing world, environmental devastation or suppression of human rights? The question now is that is globalization ‘good’ or ‘bad’? Since the commencement of globalization, the global economy has boomed at a very great rate. It has increased the living standards of the people in underdeveloped and developed countries. It has helped in fair worldwide spread of wealth, improved the variety of services and goods offered in different countries. Globalization has created jobs for people in underdeveloped and developing countries, companies sought to invest in underdeveloped countries where the cost of production will be minimal as compared to investing in developed regions. Yet globalization is criticized, mainly because of the effects it has on the society, environment and culture. Globalization has created competition between economies that compete vigorously with each other to achieve superiority. Such completion has caused more devastation and exploitation. Globalization has affected the financial market, economy, health, environment and culture. In this research project, the positive...

...Globalization and Income Inequality in U.S. Globalization is the process of international integration, which the nation-states culturally, political, and economically interact with each other, creating a global society. Developing countries are modernizing, economies are constantly shifting, and technologies are advancing; however, as fascinating as globalization can be, it has several side effects. One of the key problems that is caused by globalization is income inequality between and within nations. The rich are getting richer and the lower class people are struggling to survive in this world. One example is the United States. Since the 1970s, its income inequality has been worsening, causing several major problems. This paper looks at US income inequality demonstrating the existence of this problem, the importance of addressing it, and the connection between such disparity and globalization, particularly economic and technological globalization. According to the data retrieved from the U.S. Census Bureau (See Appendix 2), it can be proved that income inequality exists. The real family data show that before 1975, all classes shared the prosperity, growing at a similar rate. Starting from 1973, the 95th Percentile (the level separating the 5 percent of the richest from the rest) rose at the same pace and increased approximately 60 percent; however, the growth of both the median (the level separating the half of the richer families from the other half) and the 20th Percentile...
