Comments on Globalisation

Hanis comments:

"People support globalisation as it makes it easier for them to communicate with one another in other countries. They can also receive the latest information about what's happening in other countries such as the war that is taking place in Iraq.

On the other hand, some people do not support globalisation as they have their own reasons such as the Internet has made an influence on our youths today. They gather useless information and create problems to their own country. For example, one of my friends started body piercing because of influence from her friends in America. Then she started posting her pictures in her blog too.

However, I still think that globalisation is important as it makes life easier for us."


Meihui comments:

"Because of globalisation, people watch movies of different ethnic groups and get to know more about other people's culture from the Internet. People support globalisation as they could wear clothes made in, for example, China. Also, they could drive cars manufactured in Japan, and watch a live telecast of a soccer match in Germany. Globalisation makes things happen faster, easier and more efficient. Besides exploring things in our own country, we can also taste the food from other countries, wear the clothes made by other countries through globalisation.

We can access the Internet because of the onslaught of globalisation, read information on other countries, knowing the latest fashion or news. Also, the Internet can change our knowledge or belief in something as the information may be not be reliable and leave a bad impression."

Sherlene comments:

"Globalisation has both positive and negative economic impacts. By participating in globalisation, many people have experienced improvements in their living standards as a result of increased income levels.

Some people support globalisation because it benefits us in different ways such as increasing our knowledge of things. Some people don't support globalisation because of influence. Because of the onslaught of globalisation, they get influenced easily by information, pictures and posters from the Internet and media.

I support globalisation because without globalisation, our lives will not improve and we will have difficulties moving around in the world and improving our knowledge. Globalisation has made communications and transportation easier because shorter time is taken to get from one place to another. There is an increasing mobility of goods and people. And at the same time, it has also meant that people can travel easily.

Improvement in technology has made communications among people in different locations faster and more convenient. The invention of advanced communication technology such as the Internet has enabled consumers to access information about new products and places more conveniently and efficiently."

Kun Xiang comments:

"The tools of globalisation such as the Internet can affect us by brainwashing us and change our opinions and thinking about the world and this will greatly help the anti-government groups to gain support through the Internet in just a matter of minutes of reading the articles or watching the videos. Globalisation creates trade between countries and with more foreign investments, governments can earn more revenue. Then, governments make use of the revenue to improve the countries' education, health, defence, housing, transportation infrastructures and technology."
