Directions: Write an essay/reflection on the economic impact of globalization in

your life, how does it affect you, your family, community and our country in
general. (Anchor your essay/reflection on your most meaningful experience and how
you had managed to overcome these experience with your family).
Globalization has made it easier for students to communicate and collaborate with
people from different cultures. With the help of technology, students can connect
with others from around the globe instantly. This has led to a more diverse range
of perspectives and experiences in the classroom.Globalization often becomes the
reason the mothers leave their families as they go to work abroad. Their cheap
labor is used there as a maid to care of other people's children and the elderly,
while they had to devote more time to their children and loved ones.Globalization
is associated with rapid and significant human changes. The movements of people
from rural to urban areas has accelerated, and the growth of cities in the
developing world especially is linked to substandard living for many. Family
disruption and social and domestic violence are increasing.In general,
globalization decreases the cost of manufacturing. This means that companies can
offer goods at a lower price to consumers. The average cost of goods is a key
aspect that contributes to increases in the standard of living. Consumers also have
access to a wider variety of goods.Conflict can happen when family members have
different views or beliefs that clash. Sometimes conflict can occur when people
misunderstand each other and jump to the wrong conclusion. Issues of conflict that
are not resolved peacefully can lead to arguments and resentment. It is normal to
disagree with each other from time to time. Occasional conflict is part of family
life. However, ongoing conflict can be stressful and damaging to relationships.
Some people find it difficult to manage their feelings and become intentionally
hurtful, aggressive or even violent. Communicating in a positive way can help
reduce conflict so that family members can reach a peaceful resolution. This
usually means that everyone agrees to a compromise or agrees to disagree.
Sometimes, strong emotions or the power imbalances that can be present in
relationships are difficult to resolve and can only be addressed in a counselling
situation.
