Globalization

Paper Summary:

Globalization is for the increase of rights of peoples in their own countries. This sounds good if the overall quality of life is raised. But, when it means removing national boundaries, adopting foreign cultures, and introducing them at home, or imposing domestic culture in a foreign land, as has been occurring in the global scene, problems arise, and more can be expected, with the portent of a single global society evolving and forming. This paper explains that increase in wealth, easy knowledge, and broader communication are all lovely if all the participants have the common good or justice as basis for these expansions. It argues, however, that the accompanying threats to peace, health, and life, such as global terrorism, spread of incurable diseases, and the destruction of age-old values and national traditions do not justify the "progress" offered or promised by globalization.

From the Paper:

"Globalization has set in like a violent outpour of combined forces and, at the rate, it has been going, it cannot be stopped or changed significantly. Many and more are getting into the pace, good and ill elements of all societies. Suddenly, governments of the world witness one another in a simultaneous and one-stage, which has been un-predicted, unprecedented and un-rehearsed. The big and the small are putting in their own contributions, with no one superior or universal authority orchestrating the events or conducting checks and balances. Traditional world powers, like the US, Japan, China and EU countries and global NGOs can establish policies and constraints as they tried to in the wake of 9/11, but given the failures of such policies, constraints and agreements, it is doubtful at this time if globalization trends can be stopped, changed or reversed."
