- Because it do influences all aspects of our lives, like the flow of goods, services,
products and finance so trade and also virtual trade. And it also has been the

countries have put up stronger border controls. And this goes against the other
globalization trends.

8. React to the statement below: “The glory of globalization could also be its
downfall.”

 By definition, globalization is the process of international integration arising from

interchange of world views, products, ideas and other aspects of culture so in the
statements, I do agree because I know that globalization is a process of which
many countries of the world are being united by as well as destroyed. One
example is, globalization negatively affects the world economy because it creates
many income. The glory is the income, while the downfall is it negatively affects
the world economy by employment and inequality issues.
