THE NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE EFFECTS OF GLOBALIZATION 2
"What effects of globalization prevail: negative or positive?"
The improvement in the means of transport and communication in the modern world such
as the improvement of air travels has increased the movement of people around the world. The
mobility of people and the ease of sharing information all around the world has increased the
interaction of people. The world has become a smaller community because the movement of
people and information has been highly improved. People from different places interact more
nowadays than it was there before. However, it must be noted that both positive, as well as
negative impacts have resulted from the globalization.
For instance, the improvement in how people travel across the world has created a chance
for people from different areas to interact. During such interactions, people exchange valuable
social and cultural values such as ways of dressing, beliefs, as well as the dietary behaviors.
Moreover, the people learn different languages from the visitors. Eventually, a multicultural
society in which different people live harmoniously and have respect for one another is created.
The increased movement of people all over the world has improved the diplomatic ties between
states. As the people interact, they engage in other activities such as intermarriages, exchange of
culture, as well as building a strong sense of respect and empathy that strengthens the
relationships between different states.
The humanitarian aids have been favored by the improved mobility of people. As the
people move around the world, they interact with different environmental and human aspects that
increase their willingness to help in humanitarian crises. Such help improves the quality of life
for the affected people. Therefore, the dignity of the victims of war, drought, and earthquakes is
restored via the humanitarian aids.
