What is globalization?

1. Globalization is a phenomenon in the process of human development in society. There are many manifestations of globalization, but the links and exchanges between countries in various regions of the world are often enhanced. It is a process that refers to the flow of material and spiritual products that breaks through the constraints of regions and borders, affecting every corner of the planet. It affects our economy, society, culture, politics, technology, and even biology. And each field of study has a different perspective on globalization. For example, economics politics, anthropology. Globalization can have a different impact on every field. But globalization is not just a concept of going out in recent years. It has always existed in the history of the development of human society. For example, Mexican peppers have spread throughout Asia, and Ethiopian coffee has settled around the world. The Silk Road of ancient China. Columbus discovered the New World. All of this is in the concept of globalization. It’s just the time of this informational dataization. It seems that the speed of all things has been accelerated. With the advent of globalization, our lives seem to add a lot of different colors. But it also comes with something that is less idealistic.
2. When the culture of a country or region arrives at another region on a global express train, there must be some chemical reactions. For example, when the culture of some countries with better economic or social development is introduced into some countries with relatively backward economy and society. Some people think that foreign culture is better than local culture. Especially young people. Easy to be attracted by some colorful things. In turn, there will be problems in the local culture being squeezed into the living space. But in fact, there is no difference between culture and high. We don't want to see a culture eat another culture. This is also not conducive to the development of human society. Globalization is a process in the development of human society. It is not that there is opposition from a certain region or country that we can stop him from coming. For the above situation, you can only do a good job of it. Every culture should have its own living space, and other cultures should be welcomed to its own area.
3. If we only look at the benefits that globalization brings to our humanity, we can't help but sigh that globalization is really great! It is convenient for our lives. Adding a lot of fun to our lives has made our lives richer and more interesting. But in fact, he also has many problems. For example, development causes harm to the environment. For multinational companies in developed countries, in order to circumvent their mature environmental laws, when they build a global production chain and carry out international division of labor, some high-energy, high-pollution production links will be transferred to developing countries. Use the loopholes of local immature environmental regulations to avoid the environmental responsibility. As a result, this will cause great irreversible damage to the local ecological landscape, breaking the ecological balance and hindering sustainable development. In addition, as the raw material market, labor market, and commodity market are spread all over the world, local enterprises need to use more energy for transportation, which will eventually increase greenhouse gas emissions and accelerate global warming. Finally, due to global procurement and international division of labor, costs will decrease. Consumers can also buy goods at a lower price. When the cost of acquiring new goods is too low, it is easy for people to develop the habit of over-consumption, resulting in an increase in the amount of solid waste, causing a large amount of unnecessary waste and damage to the environment. Events like this have become a common phenomenon.
It is still the same sentence that we can't stop the arrival of globalization. Globalization does bring us a society. But how to face the problems and problems that globalization brings us is also worth thinking about.
