Hello guys!
Hope everyone is doing good. It feels a little bit fulfilling knowing what I am about to talk about today. Before I begin, I'm sending a big hello to all those who interact more to make this community as it is now. When I came across this contest, I felt a rush just thinking about what to say, because finally a contest where we can rant about serious issues. The topic is "The Impact of Globalization: How Has It Affected Your Hometown or Country?". This topic per se warrants a very broad discussion but first, let's talk about what is GLOBALIZATION
Globalization generally refers to how technology has made the world into one big synergy where every individual is connected to the other. This has had a very profound impact on every part of the world including my hometown and or country. In a nutshell, globalization is the connecting of people, nations, economies, cultures, etc around the world. This process of interconnectedness has been driven by a number of factors, some of which includes technological advancements, transportation advancements, communications advancements, and many other advancements that leads to connecting people or processes, or business.
One significant impact or effect of globalization has been its impact on cultural exchange and diversity. Due to globalization, the western lifestyle and popular culture have spread wide and far. This has created a lot of mixed opinions with some people seeing this to have a positive impact on them whilst others see it to have a negative impact. Those who believe it to be a positive thing argue that the western culture has created opportunities for cross-cultural understanding and communication whilst those who believe it to be a negative thing also argue that the western culture is leading the people of the community to lose their way of life in adapting the western lifestyle. A pure example will be of my hometown, which I used to enjoy as a kid, we used to use donkeys for transport and watch one television in the whole village, but now due to globalization, people of the village now resort to riding and driving motorcycles and also sitting at home in our comfort zones watching television. These are all outgrown due to how the world is evolving.
Another main impact globalization has created is that it has contributed to economic growth and development. Just like the other impact points, there are arguments on this impact factor too. Some argue that it has improved investing industries like technology, tourism, and manufacturing on one hand. And on another hand, some argue that challenges like job displacement, inequality, etc are faced as a result of globalization.
In summary, Globalization can have a great positive impact on the lives of people who are willing to observe open up and embrace the everchanging world we live in. Globalization can be a good thing when we learn to appreciate and inculcate most of the new things in our lives.
Thank you for reading : ).
ohh mine i think i totally forgot this particular point.
As the world dives deeper into technology, human beings are replaced with robots and machines to do their jobs, i just remembered a video clip i saw of robots serving food in a restaurant, imagine the number of waitresses that lost their jobs in that restaurant.
This was a good read, thanks for sharing🙂
I know ryt. There's always a down side to every state of evolution. Now image how this waitress are now supposed to support their families . 😥
It is so sad, i feel like if you are not ready to advance as the world advances, you would be left out completely.
You got sacked as a waitress? try learning something that is technologically inclined and there goes the question what if these waitresses are not up for the job?
Lol having a conversation about globalization seems like a never ending conversation, it's too deep😂
That's true because there are so many aspect it has affected us. So broad enough it can't even be discussed in a day
I tell you
It was nice sharing ideas with you @abduljawad002 😃
Do take care
You have stated the obvious here. Advancement comes with side effects. Hence, the emerging trend of unemployment and other social issues have enveloped our world. This could be termed some the effects of globalization.
Truly, now the conflict here is the fact that we need to grow as a community buh the price is too gruesome to pay in some situations
That's one of the prices of globalization. Inflation and high cost of living.
Truly truly
Our various cultures have definitely been impacted now more than ever especially with social media everywhere, and technology still on the rise. Globalization is taking over and fast.
It breaks my heart that many jobs are getting lost to the "advancement" of the world. There must be a way to alleviate the financial downfall of many people who find themselves in this predicament sooner or later.
Yeah and till we find out how, we just gonna suffer the cost of evolving
I must start with this, I love the way you write... It is unique and very easy to read and understand 🙂
You did use Donkey for transportation? That's interesting to know lol.
Globalization has done more good for our human life than we can even give account of. Nicely written, all the best.
Thanks love ❤.
Yeah for real even had a terrible encounter with on of our horses where he stepped on my foot 😂. It worried me for a while buh thinking back on those times I actually genuinely miss those times
Haha that's funny and I think I get why you would miss those times.
Unlike myself and some others who never had a taste of what it actually felt like.
I know ryt. Kinda wish were in those times but hey, we still have to grow as humans as it Is our nature. And a great example will even be Chatgpt in this era lol.🤧😊
Haha yeah, that's true
This is the second post like this I have seen. I appreciate these perspectives. I am glad that globalization has had a positive impact on your life and that of your city.

I can imagine having a single television in a village and everybody coming together to watch the television. The movie Mr. Bones comes to mind because it is very similar to that.
Very similar indeed. The joy of coming together I just instinctively satisfying to be honest. 💯💯
