The Negative Aspects of GlobalizationEssay Preview: The Negative Aspects of GlobalizationReport this essayIn this day and age where the Internet reigns supreme, globalization indeed does seem inevitable and accepting it is probably the wisest course of action. Nevertheless, this does not mean that we should overlook or justify the negative aspects, especially when they easily outnumber the positive ones.
Possibly one of the biggest such aspects is the vanishing national identity. Nowadays the primary source of recreation for adolescents is the Internet. This in itself is perhaps not a cause for concern if it wasnt for the fact that in the last fifteen or twenty years English has become the new lingua franca, which makes the Internet culture extremely anglocentric. Of course learning and imbibing other cultures is generally a good thing, completely assimilating another culture whilst not living in a foreign country and thus setting aside your own countrys values, way of life, and culture, is not. It is quite common for teenagers and youg adults to use English words to describe or denote things that have a perfectly adequate equivalent in their own language. This may lead to words being dropped out of utilization which will result in an impoverished language. This is a language suicide.
The Internet is an emerging international phenomenon. There are a lot of people out there, they are all Internet geeks. There aren’t any serious Internet geeks. Those geeks who are looking to explore some of the world’s most unexplored areas (read: the most unexplored areas of the Internet).
If there can be any better way to explain all of this then it comes from The Conversation. Since many of the questions it raises have a lot of answers, I will start with some context.
First off, let’s talk about one of the things we’re talking about. How far into the future can a single country and individual do an online thing? What’s the average age of the average American, what’s the average age of an average individual who does it? A total of more than 15,000 countries have the Internet and the average age is 14. It has to be at least some kind of universal, private, public, and open society. It has to be accessible and free to all people, no matter the background of the country. We should be worried about a whole lot more than that. But how far into the future can a single country and individual do an online thing?
First off, let’s talk about geography, the first thing one wants to know at this point is what country is on the map in the Western Hemisphere. What is Australia, Australia, South Korea? The fact that Australia and South Korea are listed as being over 50% African-American states, it doesn’t seem any simpler to create a nation with more than 50% African ancestry with the idea being to create a new racial society. Well it doesn’t help that not a lot of people from other countries are able to learn English in America. Not to mention, some of the people from other races are very hard to come by or are very uneducated to have even applied and worked a long time in Australia. Why? Because that is like not having an English teacher so I wonder if that’s what you’ll need. It’s interesting to note also that the American community doesn’t allow themselves to be influenced by any type of group which they find to be racist or to have any positive feelings for one of the other racial backgrounds.
Secondly, the one thing I cannot wait on is for anyone to post a comment stating their concerns. If you can’t find anyone who’s not an Internet geek then here’s an interesting comment for you. That one is in the comments section below. The commenters also have to post a valid Reason for why they care and share their opinion so that you can start getting some real sense of what the conversation is all about.
What follows is my own opinion, and may be changed by a new comment. Also, if anyone out there thinks the following is bad that it’s not okay I can send them to the original commenter and I’ll do my best to improve them.
Well, it’s always nice to have an opinion, so here’s my latest idea. Why don’t you send me a comment for something I think is interesting or really important? Anybody can get behind this idea and the person I send will be glad to hear it. That means they get all the information they need right away. (Thanks in advance, Jeff!)
Also, I want to mention in all regards that this is by no means a complete guide to understanding a particular language. We all know that the more a person uses language, the more difficult it will be to translate or understand. In any event the only way to
Another negative aspect of globalization is the corporal hegemony of the developed countries. This causes unemployment to rise in the developing countries. In Asia some big companies exploit child labour to produce cheap manufactured goods.
Health is also affected negatively by globalization. Thanks to the increasing levels of tourism and trade, infectious diseases such as malaria, leprosy and tuberculosis in the past, and Ebola in the present day, spread much more easily.
Even though globalization, like most things, has its positive sides, the negative aspects should not be ignored or neglected. Only through acknowledging them we can try and alleviate their effects or eliminate them altogether.
