Very well said - People exploit other people not globalization.<br /><br />Cultures and traditions have stood the test of time, however, as the world changes and merges into one - it makes it harder for the things we once held close to stay pure and unaffected by the changing environment around us.DetailedSimplicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15457395285853183389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570244272086409102.post-81806341577932867762010-04-04T21:52:21.834-07:002010-04-04T21:52:21.834-07:00Hmm.. Globalization.. Personally, I feel that the...Hmm.. Globalization.. Personally, I feel that the benefits outweigh the cons. Sure there are many detrimental effects of globalization, but I have to say, globalization is only indirectly at fault. It's people that exploit other people, not globalization. As DS said, 'with great power comes great responsibility'. As cliche as that sounds, it is true. Today, many large conglomerates have been taking the initiative to contribute back to society. Corporate responsibility, yes, it sounds too good to be true, but it is happening.<br /><br />A more urgent problem that globalization may bring about is loss of culture. It is sad to see things that we have come to know and become familiar with while growing up slowly disappear as the years go by. And I'm not just talking about material things, it can be anything from common courtesy to respect for your elders to the way you speak. But then again, it can also be argued that culture and traditions change over time, as the generations go by, regardless of globalization.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03466535882347572682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570244272086409102.post-65078316747239488702010-04-01T12:55:38.913-07:002010-04-01T12:55:38.913-07:00Thanks for your two kents worth.

I agree that Globalisation has its shortcomings - no doubt. I would be crazy to deny that. I am in no way oblivious to the suffering and injustice it has brought upon millions of people - However, we would be hypocrites to say it is all bad. So this entry was just a means to shed some good light on it. We live a very comfortable life here in Singapore - and for alot of it, we have Globalisation to thank. Where would this little island be without it?DetailedSimplicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15457395285853183389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570244272086409102.post-48212648173465539762010-04-01T06:11:34.501-07:002010-04-01T06:11:34.501-07:00I agree that globalisation has its pros and cons a...I agree that globalisation has its pros and cons as well. While i agree with the advtanges, I think that you have missed out on the shortcomings. The same reasons you have for advocating Globalisation can be used against ur stand. The internet can be used to influence other cultures and spread knowlgede. Good ideas can go far and wide. So do bad ones. Also not every person, culture or country reacts to ideas in the same way. Many might reject it or deem it as invasive. That is where conflicts arise. Just my two kents worth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
