2.) Advantages and Disadvantages of globalization
Advantages: 1.) Builds stronger trade ties and dependencies between nations. 2.) Contributes to the spread of technology. 3.) Gives people access and more choices. Disadvantages: 1.) Too much use of oil to move things from one place to another, which ruins the environment. 2.) Homogenizing the world, destroying the cultural distinctiveness of nations around the world.
3.) Is globalization advantageous or disadvantageous?
I think globalization is just like any choices that has its ups and downs. It only depends on the beholder on how they view and weight the outcomes. It is advantageous because it led to the modernization to human beings. It made house chores easier to do, and workloads faster to finish. It gave people access and more choices which made dreams come true. It is disadvantageous because it ruins the most important thing in our life, the environment. With all the buildings being built side by side and pollution being created by humans, it’s no wonder why the environment is deteriorating.
