NEW YEAR THE PROS AND THE CONS OF GLOBALIZATION
I don’t know about you but globalization creates jobs, makes companies more
If I have to choose, I’ll choose New Year as my favorite
celebration. I could think in another ones but I’m pretty sure that
the end of the year is something very special for me. It’s simple,
you can stay with your family and if you want, you can go to
parties, or even you can hold a party. New Year is a special day
because you can see many people having fun, this holiday is
marking the begging of the year, and you know, every year always
has something different. In my case, I spend time first with my
family, we also buy and use mask or some of my relatives arrive
with a costume, this is really funny. We don’t give present, but
we do many cabalas. For example, eat the 12 grapes, or put in
our wallets rice, cinnamon and lentil to have money all the year.
For that and many reasons more I suppose New Year is my
favorite celebration.
competitive and lowers price for the costumers. This is important because in
celebrations as Christmas, we use to buy present to our relatives, and thanks to the
globalization the prices are lower, there is more influx of information between two
countries, which do not have anything in common between them. And socially we
become more open and tolerant with other people who live in other part of the
world. The cons of globalization is for example that it has made the rich richer while
making the non-rich poorer. You may disagree, but think about that, for example
this celebrations aren’t our culture. They’re creating necessities, that why we
celebrate this and follow the tradition of each celebration, of course is a good
business for big companies. As far as I’m concerned multinational corporations,
have the ability to exploit tax havens in other countries to avoid paying taxes. And
also represent an ecological damage.
What do you use social networks for? I use mainly for communicating with my
family and another is to distract me a little. I also use the social media to work,
many academies create groups of WhatsApp and they let us know when we have
go to class or doing seminar.
Are social networks useful to break down barriers and build bridges? Yes, I think
they are, because it an easy way to keep in touch to each other even if you are on
the other side of the earth. We increase rapidly because now many people can have
a smart phone in their hands. I think are consume of social media are going to rise
with the time, because many people use it for communication.
Is urban drift something you are concerned about? Definitely yes, this
phenomenon is now unstoppable, just look around, a good example of this is lima,
nowadays many and many people are travel to the capital looking opportunities to
job, a better life, but you know, Lima has no more space, the immigrants are
building their houses in hills and talking about health, this is an infection focus, in
a few years they will have rare disease, and our efforts will be nothing comparing
with all the damage, also you can forget the damage of the environment, these
people are consuming many no-removable resources.
