what is the globalization ? - ZhangZuo dong

<Summary>

Nowadays, The Times are progressing all the time. After breaking away from the era of war, countries all over the world started to develop themselves, economically, politically and otherwise. Increasingly, they are looking for alliances and cooperation, something that has a cooperative nature, in one word, globalization, which is a very important term.

According to wikipedia's definition of "globalization", globalization is the process of international integration brought about by the exchange of world views, products, concepts and other cultural elements. This is a relatively complete concept, which emphasizes the resource complementarity and mutual benefit of globalization. This is the most fundamental benefit of globalization. So is globalization a good trend?

Now I'd like to pick one aspect of my understanding of this word.

<Which aspect was i interested?>
The aspect which i interested was economy. Economically speaking, all the physical exchanges between human beings are called economic activities. Economic activities are different from commercial activities. Commercial activity is to give customers the material exchange and interactive activities, is the activity of a micro perspective, it can be a person with another person's material exchange (C to C), or it can be a person with another company (C to B), can even is cooperation between the company and the company (B to B), these are visibility activities. Economic activity, on the other hand, is more macroscopic. The term economy is used to refer to the system that organizes all production, distribution, circulation, consumption activities and relations within a certain scope (country, region). In other words, economic activity is invisible. What economic activity emphasizes is a kind of macro-control, which is not the economic adjustment of one industry, but the economic adjustment of the whole industry caused by the change of policies. Therefore, the scale of economic activity is much larger than that of commercial activities.

Economic activities between countries are macroeconomic activities of economic cooperation, and economic cooperation between countries is economic globalization. Compared with other aspects of globalization, economic globalization is relatively obvious. Economic globalization is a process of integrating the use of global resources and a great improvement of cooperative relations between countries. It can play to the strengths of different countries. If this is hard to understand, let me give you a quick example.

If we want to build a passenger plane, we need a lot of things. Fuselage materials, tire materials, skilled workers, high-end precision instruments, engineers and so on... They could be manufactured in one country, of course, but manufacturing costs would rise so steeply that companies would churn out planes. What can we do to solve this problem? We can do it in a global way. Chinese skilled workers provide labor support, southeast Asian countries provide rubber and mineral materials, and Japan or the United States provide precision instrument support. European countries provide financial support, so that all participants can play their own value, can greatly promote each country to play their own advantages, can also reduce the cost of production, this is a microcosm of economic globalization.

Economic globalization is conducive to the breaking of regional monopolies, the economic development of all countries in the world, the narrowing of economic differences between regions, and the reduction of frictions and contradictions between regions. This trend of activities that can benefit all countries, the implementation of the world's comprehensive economic cooperation will bring great benefits to the development of human society

However, although economic globalization is in progress, there is still room for concern. As is known to all, only a limited number of countries can enjoy the benefits of the global economy, and the fruits of economic globalization are still in the hands of a few developed countries and major economic powers. Economic hegemonism and resource predation  are still existed, so  we can not ignore it. For their own interests, some major economic powers have placed some factories with high pollution and high energy consumption in other countries, which is an unbalanced relationship and has caused irreversible impact on the local ecological environment. Therefore, economic globalization still has a long way to go. In order to realize the common prosperity of mankind, there are still many problems to be explored and solved.
<Discussion>
In short, globalization is an irresistible trend, and I have another problem with this article.Is it that the world will become a country like the European Union?
