Is globalisation good or bad?
Initially, let’s start from the common definition of the world-wide famous word “globalization”.
From my point of view, it is the process of acceleration of the world events occurring at present. It’s the principle of the realization as well as exchange of sentiments among the people from various nationalities. Consequently, globalization is the most effective way of keeping people in touch with one another and to share their spiritual and material wealth in the way of friendly ties. Due to the flexibility of globalization the world is becoming smaller and accordingly life-long bonds of friendship are established among a vast number of states in the world community. The globalization is carrying out the functions of social intercourse between the people having more or less identical interest.
In a broader sense, the above-mentioned gains of the globalization have not been achieved at once. The starting point of the world-wide current event under the name globalization owns a kind of far spectacular history. Throwing a thorough glance back to the endless descent of the mysterious past one becomes the witness of the fact that the anchor of globalization was put down to the coast of the universal progress by the outstanding people, who were the men of great moral integrity, Al-Beruny and his successor Christopher Columbus. They were among the first to put forth the fundamental ideas of globalization. The wisest of wise men Al-Beruniy owing to his high volume assimilated knowledge created the globe. As a matter of fact, the intrinsic scenery of the world became visually available in the hands of man. Then gaining full spirit from the inspirational geographical data of the aforementioned scientist the intellectual discoverer, the genius of his hour, Christopher Columbus filled the sweet opinions of his great predecessor with a foregone conclusion. In fact, Columbus opened a new world, which is now simply called Western World. This paved the way for the homogeneity of the world culture and gave hand to the improvement of the newly acquired fields of globalization. With those top-class openings the connoisseurs have built a golden bridge between the social life of the far Orient and Occident and at the same time this prestigious deed has become the milestone of the starting point radical changes in the circle of the globalization.
Nowadays, the globalization has acquired top priority in the lifestyle of the world population. The two essential sources of globalization: the Internet and IT have made it the crown of the cyber age. As a result, the globalization has covered the whole planet on the face of communication in the mean time. It has entered almost every walk of life. Due to the multilateral categories of the globalization the present generations are sparing no pains to accumulate outside perspective as well as have the combination of international and national experience in order to consolidate long-lasting relations of the countries of the international community. Under the auspices of the telecommunication system, the significant sources of globalization, one is able to be aware of the events occurred in any nook and cranny of the world. In addition, the basic source of information, called the Internet, has reduced distance and has broken all the life barriers and become a global electronic community for millions of socialized countries. With those facilities globalization urges the people of the present day life to be sensitive to the facts taking place in the vicinity, to be flexible to the challenges of life and most of all to be socially associated with each other. In other words, it has become the motivator of the cardinal balance of the Global Peace.
Last but not least, the influence of globalization on the lifestyle of the modern world’s generations is acknowledged in double ways. As it is said: “The coin has its other side”, the globalization also involves several drawbacks. Frankly speaking, one of the most aggressive threats is the fast flow of religious categories through spiritual spheres of global events. The false concepts of terroristic groups are being disseminated secretly among the citizens of different communities. It also ruins the imaginary world of the younger generations as well as throws dark shade into the blessed pasture of the Global Peace. Especially, the videos of terroristic acts, realized online through global network, are permanently seen by the youngsters of the modern age and are disturbing their positive general and special outlooks. Accordingly, it is of paramount importance to put an end to this sphere of globalization. Otherwise, it may play havoc with the life being on Earth and lead mankind to the verge of global catastrophe. Nevertheless, true or false the advantages the globalization outweigh the disadvantages. So, the globalization has priceless value in people’s life.
Further and even more importantly, though, globalization is one of the most brilliant gifts of the technological progress of the world. It is paving the way for the homogeneity of the world culture not only within its geographical unit- but also beyond. The competitive spirit of the globalization has developed the IT and has covered the world as the web of a spider. As for those supportive aspects of globalization, this age is called as the era of the wonders of human knowledge. To cut a long story short, globalization is the greatest merit of eternal integrity.
By way of conclusion, I believe that globalisation has changed the world into a global village and motivated universal partnership. In this regard, I will leave you with this quote: “Globalisation is the permanent passenger of the train, called time, passing through”.
