“Globalization” refers to the growing economic and cultural interconnectedness between different regions of the world. Because modern transportation and electronic communication have 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 as 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 passage and the lecture are about Globalization. The passage appreciates Globalization and talks about its advantages. On the contrary, the lecture talks about the disadvantages of Globalization.
First, the passage says Globalization is good as it supports low living costs in developing nations. Moreover, the passage says the Globalization is helpful for cheaper production and henceforth, cheaper cost of products. However, the lecture criticizes Globalization as countries prefer to trade with other countries with cheaper labor costs like in SouthEast Asia for cheaper production costs instead of producing goods in their own country, which causes unemployment in the country.
Secondly, the passage talks about mutual reliance between the countries and appreciates the fact the countries would less likely to involve in conflicts and war-like situations for keeping good trade relations with other countries. On the other hand, the lecture berates Globalization for the danger of reliance as it happened during 2008 recessions when the effect was not only seen in the USA but also in most parts of Europe and other parts of the world.
Finally, the passage talks about the positive effects of Globalization on the environment as countries will try to keep the product quality high and take precautionary measures to prevent pollution whereas the lecture says that cheaper production will trigger more environmental problems and promote pollutions like air pollution which are harmful to the environment.
Therefore, it can be easily said that the passage favors Globalization and mentions its advantages like cheaper production costs, mutual reliance and environment-friendly measures. However, the lecture is against Globalization even after its several benefits and criticizes Globalization briefing its disadvantages.
