There are both positive and negative sides to globalization. Basically, globalization is the spread of cultures, ideas, technology, and economies making everything worldwide. One of the positives of globalization is better communication throughout the world. This helps in lessening fights and wars between countries. On the contrary though, weapons, bombs, and other items of mass destruction all go under technology. Because of globalization, third-world countries are able to get out of their shell and build a better economy. People are starting to get jobs because of off shoring and outsourcing. Then again, people in countries such as America are losing their jobs because of this. Globalization also disrupts traditional values and cultures because western culture spreads to countries changing their way of life. This isn't always bad though, it helps many people so they can live a better life. Because of globalization we have so many items such as TVs, cars, i-pods, computers, etc. People all around the world can eat food, wear clothes, and talk in languages from different countries. The world's shrinking so that people from all around the world can communicate with each other.
In my opinion the the net effect of globalization is positive. It is probably a matter of opinion, or and what age you are. It might not be such a good thing to my grandparents, for example, but for people my age, it's a great thing. In our generation, nobody could live without their i-pod, TV, cellphone, and Internet. Globalization is good because the world has been brought so much closer. I can go to an American school in New Delhi, and go out to dinner at a Japanese restaurant with my European friends. People from different countries can share ideas and technology so they can be even farther improved for the costumer, which is us. We can have friends from all around the world and talk to them on a daily basis because of technology.
This is why I think globalization is a good thing.

Arushi,
Your post made me think about the pros and cons of globalization. This is important because globalization has brought many good, nice things to our world, and made it more modern, but it is critical that we know what is happening on the other side as well. Your writing made me form an opinion about globalization, and that it was good for the world. I like the examples you gave of globalization, especially "Because of globalization, third-world countries are able to get out of their shell and build a better economy." I think this sentence was really well - written! I also liked how you related yourself with globalization, and how it benefited you, and what you are able to do today because of it!
However, I think you could have expanded this sentence "On the contrary though, weapons, bombs, and other items of mass destruction all go under technology" by giving us some examples.
Great Work!
Kaveen :)
