By making it easier and quicker to complete international trade and financial transactions, technological advances have led to globalization the integration of economies and societies around the world. Even critics of globalization acknowledge its positive effects. One of the benefits of a global market is that it offers greater opportunity for people to tap into more and larger markets around the world. This increased market access increases the flow of capital across borders, results in cheaper imports, and also promotes competition among worldwide providers of goods and services, thus leading to greater efficiencies worldwide, since specialization allows people and economies to focus on what they do best. Another advantage of globalization is the rapid spread of knowledge and technology. Direct foreign investment results not only in capital expansion, but also in technical innovation. Knowledge about production methods, management techniques, export markets and economic policies is made available to workers in expanding markets, often in developing countries, who can in turn use this knowledge to expand and improve local businesses. Finally, in a global market, there is a tendency for workers to move from developing countries to developed countries to find better employment opportunities. This means that there is also the potential for newly learned skills to be transferred back to the developing countries from which the workers came, and for wages in these countries to rise. As wages rise and workers become more educated, developing countries experience economic growth, a reduction in poverty, and an increase in consumption, thereby leading to greater economic opportunities for all.
The article is about the positive effects of globalization. The article claims that its effects have been largely positive and provides three reasons for support. The lecture refutes those claims stating the effects of globalization is negative on the people.
First, the article claims that globalization offers more opportunity for people to tap into the growing markets around the world. The lecture while acknowledging to this effect points out that this has caused widening gap between the poor and rich countries. The rich countries have grown 6 folds while the poor countries have only grown 3 folds. The lecture claims that even the richest countries have their doubts on the positive effects of globalization.
Second, the article states that globalaization causes rapid spread of knowledge both technical and it fields of production. However, the lecture from the professor claims that even though there is increase in knowledge, there is often large downsizing in the company. The jobs from the company are moved to the developing world where the cost of production is cheaper because of lower wages. This results in increasing the divide between the rich and the poor in the developed country.
Finally, the article posits that movement of workers back from the developed world to their own countries with the skills they learned leads to increase in consumption and greater economic opportunities for everyone. However, the lecture states that this has lead to the fear that a dominant culture will supplant their own culture. Countries from China to France to Middle East are worried that a global culture will take over their own culture.
