...Globalization is necessary in the world. Different theories on the concept of globalization provide distinct reasons on the need for globalization. The world’s advancements and technology help drive the need for globalization. Communities and organizations alike are affected by globalization, and smaller countries benefit from the generosity of larger participants in the world’s market. Globalization, in the business sense, is to make a product or service available in the global market. Any investment that is across national borders is also part of globalization....

The evidence for hyperglobalization is found all over the world, but for the purposes of this paper, I will focus on the expansion of NAFTA, the 2004 Indian Elections, and the increasing global outsourcing of labor.

...I was able to grow up in a neighborhood where different cultures live harmoniously. Before the sixties, non-white people were not allowed to mixed-in with the white families. It is because of the 60s that one neighborhood can include a Hispanic family, and Asian family and an African-American family (Carter, 2010). The Civil Rights Act of 1965 gave more people the right to vote and took down the obstacles which prevented many people from participating in democracy and exercising their full rights as citizens. This enabled me to exercise my right as an individual living in the United States. The Civil Rights Act provided not only me but a lot of people the right to be vote, be heard, and express their opinion (Farber, 1994). The legacy of the 1960s can be seen including society and family structure in America. America. American society is more open now and could be described as being more flexible because, for example, there are now many more definitions of family (Carter, 2010). Unlike previous decades, the two-parent nuclear family is no longer the only model of ideal family life in the twenty-first century. Many citizens now live with extended family or are single parents, and adopted children are largely treated the same as...

...Louise Gonzales Legacies of Historical Globalization – Hand In Assignments 1) How does the map on p.144 of Exploring Globalization demonstrate the spread of historical globalization and colonial influence? Explain using examples. The map demonstrates the spread of historical globalization and colonial influence because it represents the European Imperialism and Europe’s scramble for empire. European Imperialism contributed to the spread of science, religion, philosophy, and technology - which originated from Europe -, to the countries it colonized. During the 17th and 18th centuries Europeans were very competitive with one another. Each nationality wanted to be bigger and better than the others. They believed that to gain prestige, a country needed both wealth and power. And to get wealth and power, a country had to have colonies. The more territory that they were able to control, the more powerful and important they thought they could become. As these European empires continues to expand their colonies, they are also fundamentally changing and influencing the lives and other cultures of people under their rule. European imperialism changed the way of life of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. In North and South America, Africa, Asia, Australia, and central Asia, Indigenous peoples were displaced by European settlement in colonies. Indigenous peoples adapted their ways of life to function within the European economic system. For example...

...Abstract This essay will focus on the differences in types of encounters and the degrees of cultural change have left on the world today and what are the legacies of cultural change. You could almost call this the evolution of societies and cultures through cultural encounters. The first step of globalization actually began with the encounters of cultures. In the last few weeks leading to this week’s assignment is we discussed how early civilization influenced each other we seen how the Roman and Greek civilizations had an impact on each other to some degree. We are now exploring how specific countries have all seen and dealt with the topic of cultural syncretism. Cultural Syncretism Still Waiting on First Question From Trya….. What cultural factors caused the differences in outcomes? Some of the cultural factors that caused the different outcomes that the Westerners encountered in both China and India are that they each had very different beliefs. Each culture had its own power, control or dominance (Sayre, 2010). In China, the Chinese would have rather stayed isolated that to be influenced by the Mongolians. In the Song dynasty prospered with their production of iron and therefore their government ended up being controlled by the merchants, they were extremely wealthy. They also had intelligent citizens due to the fact that they had an advance on their printing. They were able to print books and these books helped them get ready for their exams. The Chinese...

...Source one is from Indigenous Cultures in an Interconnected World by Claire Smith and Graeme Ward. The source mentions Europe’s expansion that emerged from the 16th century, and how the economic and political globalization affected the people’s addressed in the text. This text is critical of globalization during that time; mentioning how Indigenous peoples were ‘invaded’ and ‘threatened’ by globalization and colonization. In this context globalization was/is the catalyst for colonization, speeding it up like adding gas to a fire; which critically changed things for the Indigenous peoples. Colonization of their land did not stop there, it went farther. It globalized things, with the arrival of Europeans came the arrival of new goods, technologies,...

...Genoa is a port city located in northwest Italy. It is the capital of the Liguria region with its urban area extending up into the surrounding hills. Genoa is one of the largest ports in the Mediterranean and one of the most important ports in all of Italy. Throughout history Genoa has had an important role as a maritime power. Its prime location on the Mediterranean set Genoa up for success with the ability to increase globalization and trade through connecting major countries through its crucial port. The port was founded by Etruscan and Phoenician sailors in the 6th century BC due to its excellent location and because it could work as a natural port. Around this same time a Ligurian trading settlement was formed in Genoa. This later allied...

...My task is to talk about globalization and inequality in developing countries, with emphasis on Latin America. I have a simple point to make: globalization puts developing countries at risk of increasing income inequality. The increase in inequality in the United States over the last 25 years (during which the income of the poorest 20 percent of households has fallen in real terms by about 15 percent) has been blamed, rightly or wrongly, on changes in trade, technology and migration patterns associated with increasing economic integration with other countries. For developing countries, any risk of increasing inequality associated with active participation in the global economy is even greater, if only because of the greater inherent institutional weaknesses associated with being poor. Latin America has a special disadvantage: its historical legacy of already high inequality. Inequality that is already high complicates the task of effective conflict management, which Dani Rodrik has just reminded us is a critical input to managing open economies. In the past, for example, high inequality combined with the politics of redistribution led to periodic bouts of populism in Latin America – ineffective and counterproductive efforts to manage the conflicts provoked by the dangerous combination of high inequality and hard times. Let me start with two prefatory remarks. First, globalization – that is the trend of increasing integration of economies in terms not only of goods and services...

...decisions—through real time data analytics which is deepening customer engagement by adding value to the end customers, optimizing technical and untechnical operations, preventing possible threats and fraud, and mounting on new sources of revenue. Under the umbrella of the world’s globalization and glocalization, escalating demand requires a fundamentally new high quality data handling analytics approaches to architecture, tools and practices. Through some job experience I encountered recently in the field of supply chain management, I found out that big data is the backbone for a successful SCM network. Big data is optimizing Supply Chain networks with greater data accuracy, clarity, and insights, leading to more visionary contextual intelligence shared across supply chains. It’s a fact that manufacturers now a days have to orchestrate 80% or more of their supplier network activity outside their slio functional walls, using big data and cloud-based technologies to get beyond the constraints of old legacy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Supply Chain Management (SCM) systems which are unsupported by big data business intelligence. For manufacturers whose business models are based on short lifecycles rapid product, legacy ERP systems are a bottleneck. Designed for delivering order, shipment and transactional data, these systems aren’t capable of scaling to meet the challenges supply chains face today. Choosing to compete on accuracy, speed and...

Globalization can be defined as a process by which national and local economies, social orders, and societies have gotten to be incorporated through the worldwide system of exchange, communication, immigration and transportation. Cultural Identity is a key contributor to an individuals well being. Relating to a specific society group helps individuals to feel they have a place and gives them a sense of security. This essay would show how globalization is a threat to cultural identity, it also explains on the factors that threaten the cultural identity in the UAE such as the loss of Arabic language, foreign educational curricula and Media. Despite the fact that, the significance of English as the most widely used language of globalization is perceived, Arabic is viewed as an essential piece of national, Middle Easterner and Islamic character. It is obvious that the individuals who are not familiar with English will be at clear disadvantage which leads to the fears of natives and governments seething that Arabic dialect is crumbling at a disturbing rate and adding to youth losing their personality, society and legacy (Tomlinson, 2013). Dialect is thought to be the most conspicuous piece of any society on the grounds that individuals use to communicate with and communication acts as an essential part in exchanging...

...them. The firm operates on its homegrown distribution and accounting system that runs on legacy systems. It is assumed LBS Textiles has proprietary fabric designs that are used by the weaving plants to create products, which attract all demographics in the Northeast America. Current Challenges in the market: The following challenges lurking round LBS Textiles manifest threat of existence. The price discounts offered by the weaving plants in China and other countries in the east, are attracting markets towards them causing shutdown of US weaving plants. This is affecting LBS Textiles because the market now tends to buy substitutes directly from the east and its clients are closing down their plants. LBS Textiles is confined to Northeast America and needs to expand to reach out for more weaving plants across the nation and around the globe. People in the company are still working on legacy systems and have no acquaintance with new technologies. Strategic planning: LBS Textiles’ strategy is to expand across the nation and also establish itself in the global market. The existing legacy systems hinder the ability to effectively communicate with all units and clients in the market sphere that LBS Textiles wants to expand to. Current conventional ways the firm adopts for designing and distributing the fabric to the weavers, will take longer when the span increases globally. The homegrown legacy distribution and accounting systems are outdated and need replacement. The fact that...

...Globalization can be defined as the global integration of different worldviews, economic outlook, cultural values, and in many cases vast exploitation of workers. Women of color and women of the Third World are highly subject to globalization and the exploitation it causes. Women in Asia are greatly affected by Globalization, both politically and economically. We see in many cases in Asia how this occurs such as, corporations’ exploitation of women, challenges for the women’s movement, and the issue of sex workers and foreign brides. With the issue of exploitation of workers in corporations it becomes clear that Globalization is a huge factor in the livelihood of women in these countries. The idea of work for women has changed, we are now seeing a shift of the type of work women are doing. Before “women’s work” entailed mainly work around the house or reproductive labor. Women are becoming a main part of the productive work force and are now a part of the formalized economy. We have seen a major shift in Malaysia where there has been a huge increase of women’s participation in the formal economy. Women have taken on manufacturing jobs, government jobs, and service jobs. Globalization and Global capitalism has encouraged industrialization in Malaysia and women have been forced out of their homes to move into the more urban areas where the Free Trade Zones are (Ariffin27). According to Ariffin, women made up about thirty-eight percent of the labor market in the 1990’s. Although...

...Wade Davis defines the ethnosphere as a cultural web of life which contains all thoughts, dreams, myths, ideas, and inspirations. Davis talks about the ethnosphere as something that is fueled by human imagination as well as humanity’s great legacy. The ethnosphere represents all that humanity is and all that humanity can be as a whole. Ethnocentrism is the idea that one’s own culture is the main standard by which other cultures may be measured. People make comparisons between cultures and judge other cultures based on their own. This allows a divide to form between cultures because it doesn’t allow for an ethnocentrist to accept or understand another culture because they will always think of their own cultures as normal while any other culture is not normal....

Retailers are the link between primary and secondary suppliers, final manufacturers/ assemblers and the consumer, that is the link between production and consumption. The performance of the retail sector is a good indicator of the performance in the overall economy. Traditional retail approach based on physical locations is fast evolving into a multi-channel approach in order to provide increased convenience to the final consumer whilst taking advantage of the convergence of information technology. This multi-channel approach is also putting pressure on retailers to re-look at integrating the back office operations to provide seamless services and experience to their customers.

...see the impact they have had on many diverse cultures and societies today. Cultural Syncretism and its Impact Introduction Cultural syncretism occurs when two opposite cultures mix and blend their cultural beliefs, whether they be political or religious, to produce or to start a new culture or religion. Historically, syncretism has been seen as an attempt to reconcile disparities between various cultures. Africa and the Americas both had help with other factors like weapons, religion, and technological advancements. When it came to cultural beliefs, China and India’s values were very different. They would operate from outside of the traditional beliefs, which made them much more resistant to syncretism. Compare and contrast the legacies of cultural syncretism in Africa and the Americas with the resistance to cultural change Westerners encountered in China and India. When different aspects of cultural philosophies or religions blend together and disparities are compromised, cultural syncretism occurs. According to the 1830 American census 2.3 million people were of African descent and there was only 12.8 million in the country (Joyner, 2003). Also of that 12.8 million 2.44% were free Africans, 15.56% were enslaved Africans and 82% were free white people (Joyner, 2003). Within the United States, the large number of Africans along with their culture greatly contributed to the culture and history of America. The people brought with them knowledge of science and technology...
