Globalisation in My Country

There is an ongoing debate about whether or not globalisation is a problem. On the one hand, there are several opinions that disagree with it. On the other hand, others agree with globalisation. It is an ongoing process in terms of human activities, such as, economic, cultural and environmental. My country is one of many countries which have been affected by globalisation. This essay will talk about two positive effects, which are education and access to information, and two negative effects, which are the economy and the environment, and gives examples from my country.
First of all, globalization has some negative impacts on the economy and the environment. In addition, around the world, there are trends of strong and wealthy countries attempting to control weak and poor countries by using transnational companies and international institutions, such as, the IMF. In consequence, in my country, the TNCs have entered and have made the competition with the local firms unfair and there are some local companies which have closed. In addition, globalisation has affected the environment because the people, companies and countries over use the natural resources. For example, the over use of water in my country, has resulted in almost a drought conditions.
Despite the fact that globalisation has negative effects, it has positive effects as well. Education and access to information are some of those effects. In fact, one of the most striking features of globalization is globalising the information and education by using the highest information technologies. As a result, in my country, the education system has been influenced by the international education systems. In addition, my country’s government has sent thousands of students to learn abroad. Also, it has brought the Singaporean education system to primary schools and has applied this to the local education system. Furthermore, in my country, all kind of information is easily accessed by using the Internet because the Internet is allowed everywhere.

To sum up, globalisation can be both positive and negative. In my country, the positive effects are on both education and access to information. In contrast, the negative affects of globalisation on my country are on both the economy and the environmental. In fact, my argument is that, although the globalisation has positive and negative effects, its process is inevitable.
