im open to criticism and hate.
Globalization was an inevitable for the world economy. With the introduction of more useful communication and transportation the world has become interlinked from country to country. Even more specialization of labor is able to take place, however, Globalization has its benefits as well as drawbacks.
    Commerce between societies started with the human race coming into existence. Early trade routes were established and were the highways for early societies. These traders would exchange items and ideas as well as their culture. This contributed to a blending of cultures between highly contrasting societies. Indian influences such as Buddhism were carried over trading routes penetrating into Central Asia, Tibet, China, Japan, and Southeast Asia. This all took place around 200 B.C. and 1500 A.D. This permeation of religious practices isn’t the only example evident in history. Islam expanded on land and sea into West and East Africa, southern Europe, India and Southeast Asia. This expansion established main trade routes from society to society. It gave the common man the ability to set off and travel the land somewhat safely. Muslims would take the annual pilgrimage to Mecca. Merchants and craftsmen sold varying products with ease to these travelers. This illustration of a network stimulating an economy is a microcosmic model for the effects of globalization.
The book failed to point out the finer points of globalization, however, there are many. The spread of commerce has improved the social and economic status for women. Countries have accepted the fact that educated women can greatly benefit society. They are able to enter the work force and contribute to the growth of the nation. Furthermore As a whole, globalization has benefited the living standards of those countries that participate on the global market. Housing, medical care, products and productivity all improve when placed in the global market. Moreover less developed countries are able to utilize the globalization trend as well. They can use foreign capital, global export markets to sell their products and use the technology that more developed countries have produced. This creates faster growth once they do decide to enter the global market. Eventually poverty will lessen as well as higher labor and environmental (hopefully) standards.
Over time communication and transportation abilities have progressed and evolved. Development from a messenger carrying news of a battle on horseback to super-sonic airplanes and the World Wide Web has made its mark in modern society. The change is drastic and so are the ways of life that surround them. Some countries, however, have lacked this development of new technologies. Failing to industrialize left countries in the dust and created an inequality of different nations. The reasons for underdevelopment are attributed to the lack of results it produced for most people. The Nigerians noticed that they were not benefiting from the oil fields that were being exploited on their land. The foreigners were simply taking it out of the country. As a result local people would sabotage production as well as kidnap the foreign oil workers.  The word Globalization has become synonymous with “western culture taking over everything”. This has threatened other cultures traditions and fostered a hate inside many people and societies. In turn, globalization has contributed to the many deaths and animosity seen in the 21st century.
    Here in America we are observing the cause and affect of outsourcing. This is modern issue with Globalization and we have not yet seen the final outcome. Many obstacles lay ahead as some cultures blend as others resist. Institutions and regulations have been created in the wake of globalization. It is a matter of fine-tuning how we on earth deal with each other. Hopefully we can learn from our past and prosper in our future to become better as not only a nation, but a world civilization. America is the best country in the world though.
