“Globalization” refers to growing economic and cultural interconnectedness between different regions of the world. Because modern transportation and electronic communication has made commercial relationships between distant people easier than ever before, the world is rapidly becoming a single interactive zone. This phenomenon has brought several unanticipated benefits.
The most commonly cited virtue of globalization is that it allows developing nations to use their low costs of living to their advantage. Because workers in developing nations can survive on less money, the production of goods in the developing world is significantly cheaper. This encourages business with those economies, fostering economic wellbeing. Southeast Asia, for example, has seen annual economic growth, allowing its citizens to live more comfortably today than their parents did only a generation ago.
A secondary but no less noteworthy advantage is that world trade creates competition that would otherwise be missing. As the rise of capitalism has demonstrated, competition forces the producers of goods to keep their goods’ quality as high or higher than that of their competitors and, simultaneously, their costs as affordable as possible. This means, in general, better goods for lower prices among those countries that participate in the global system. Those that do not, meanwhile, see prices climb.
Finally, globalization has cultivated a mutual reliance between countries that puts pressure on governments to make safer and healthier choices. Countries that rely on one another’s business are far less likely to go to war, for instance, and also must listen to the environmental concerns of their business partners. Countries that pollute excessively will see less business, and therefore must learn to curb environmental damage.
The reading and the lecture present two contrasting views about globalization. On one hand, the reading supports and applauds the idea of globalization, on other, the lecture points out the downside of it by bringing out pertinent points.
Firstly, the lecturer comments on the dependency of multiple countries on each other and why it can be deleterious. She supports her claim by giving example of recession in 2008 which started in United States but spread to Europe and some countries in Asia due to the dependent relations. Although, the passage believes that such dependency can bring competition and growth, the lecturer disapproves that globalization is good for the world.
Next, she brings out how unemployment has increased in the countries because of the import of cheaper goods from the developing countries. The manufacturers in United States were cut down when Mexico started exporting cheaper goods, casting a doubt on passage's claim about the economic well being.
Lastly, according to the passage, mutual reliance between the countries , cultivated by globalization, is making world safer as less polluted countries is likely to see more business. This point is challenged by the lecturer's view-since globalization gives rise to more business with cheaper goods, cheaper goods can lead to more environmental pollution, which is caused while manufacturing them. This adds up to the already existing environmental issues.
