Our world is becoming more interconnected every day. Today an extremely strong relationship exists between international trade, communication, and politics. Globalization has allowed for stronger communication to flow amongst more developed countries and developing countries. It has enabled trade to grow, capital and education flows to increase and a better distribution of resources to be met around the world.
One of the most powerful positive effects of globalization is its impact on legal and ethnical values. Not all good practices were born in one civilization.

The western and popular culture has become dominate and destroys cultural diversity. The western promotion of global news, music, movies, and even the English language promotes this effect
Hey Mackenzie :)
ReplyDeleteRemarkably well written description of your interest towards Globalization. Great explanation of legal, moral and ethical values concerning Globalization. I am glad that you were able to not only explain the positive impacts and effects of Globalization, but also the negative impacts and effects. I also liked how you were able to describe an idea with examples for evidence. I encourage you to keep watching the "Globe and Mail" regarding Globalization. Since you are in "Me to We," how does "Me to We" play a role in Globalization? Keep up the great work Mackenzie! :)
