Even though globalization affects the world’s economies in a positive way, its negative side should not be forgotten. Discuss.

In the present age, globalization have played a big part in influencing our lives. Some people argue that globalization have influence and benefit our lives, while some argues the detrimental effect of globalization as well.

Globalization does not only play a big part in the development of technology and economy, but also promoting the cultural exchange between other countries.

Firstly, people can get to know each other from other countries. People can set

up multinational companies in other places, making a contribution to the local technology and employment. On the other hand, people can watch movies performed by other countries, such as Kungfu Panda and The Mummy.

The effect of globalization can be seen almost everywhere and everyday.

It is very common to see teenagers wearing Nike T-shirts and adidas footwear, listening to western music on Ipods, dancing Hip-hops, eating at KFC. People might learn to follow cultures from other countries, and neglect their own culture. Another negative aspect of globalization is the risk and danger of epidemic disease which easily spread in the society today. One of the evidence is the arise in bird's flu disease which has infected most Asian countries over a short time period.

In summary, I am convinced that we should promote globalization. Although globalization does come with some negative and positive aspects. However, the positive aspects have far outweigh the negative aspects of it.
