Globalization refers, as we know, to the integration of economies. I am in favor of it, but I know it has advantages and disvantages.

I can mention as advantages, the technology that we, now, have the opportunity to use, such as cellphones, computers, brand new cars, internet, and so forth.

On the other hand, as disadvantages I can say that crime has increased because of Globalization, people who do not have jobs, or that are not well-educated can learn about crime and can try to imitate that behavior. Also Dominicans who have committed crime in other countries, basically in the United States have brought that behavior to our crime, I mean delinquency.

I think that if we give a good education to our children, they will be able to know what they can imitate and what they cannot. In other words, they will be able to distinguish between good and bad things. It is important to know that a good education does not mean a good or expensive school, it means to teach them how to behave every moment and to talk to them DAILY, just to ask them what did they do during the day? or how was their day at school?, for example. It is absolutely important to have communication with our children every day. By doing this, we can counteract some of the harmful effects Globalization can bring us.
