Pros and cons
of globalization
Here is a small
animation showing
some of the negative
effects of
globalization
Apart from the obvious dilution of culture
where cultures are lost in modernism there
is also:
1. Everything everywhere starts to look the
same
2. The sense of originality is
lost
3. Language dies in the process
4. The populated or less wealthy practices
are suppressed by the more powerful ones
The advantages
 There is a promotion of understanding
between different groups
 Tolerance is developed
 By coming together there is more world
peace
 More can be accomplished in terms of
eradicating world hunger and diseases
 Prejudice is destroyed
There is more success in working as one
The above pros and cons
bring us to the important
factor which is:
 Due to the fact that we know of the
disadvantages. Globalization education
aims at teaching how to avoid them so
that as we move forward as a people,
globalization has little to none negative
effects at all. It is basically aimed at
fixing the negative effects of
globalization …………this includes:
Working using the 7 S system to
come together beneficially
 This type of education can be done in
schools and at home
 The media can be also used in a
positive way to spread positive
messages about each nation to each
other to promote globalization with
peace, harmony and compassion while
still promoting individaul cultural
retention
In conclusion
It is possible to create a
wonderful global village if
the right measures are
taken to promote
POSITIVE
