Cons

Countries can share ideas and information better and imitate things that are successful.
|
 |
Culture spreads and people become more aware of the traditions and beliefs of others.
|
Original culture can be lost when it is mixed with foreign cultures and youths may reject their own original culture and traditions.
|
Travel and communication has become more accessible and more convenient.
|
The process of globalization needs a lot of shipping and construction which can do great damage on environments. Rural and environmental areas can be compromised for urban developments.
|
There is now a worldwide market for better international trade.
|
Larger transnational companies may dominate smaller local companies.
|
It is easier for large transnational companies to exploit poor women and children for work and even sex in LEDCs

Alberto, son of the Albertross, your blog post is truly amazing.The approach you took in your first point is rather intriguing; you chose the use of TV shows rather than the spread of information and ideas. While this does promote a spread of culture (for better or worse), it doesn't tackle the root issues at hand. 9/10 made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteI really like your Jersey Shore, Geordie Shore, and Lake Shore one. I've never really thought about that, haha.
ReplyDeleteGood use of a table to demonstrate that two sides exist for each point.
ReplyDeleteThe Jersey Shore thing is hilarious. Very cheeky, but its your only example and the meaning is implied. What about an example for the rest of the explicit pros and cons you have?
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit upset my first comment didn't publish during class, but here i am again entertained by your points. I really like the jersey shore thing to make a point. Do you think a larger world wide market is a good thing? or just ads to our need to purchase things?
