WAS TAKEN from the internet

My opinion about globalization

Hello class, I have been absent for a long time. I won´t tell you what happened to me because the only fact of remember it let me down. Now, I think that it is too late to tell you what I really wanted to say. But, I feel a little depressed because I passed the whole summer waiting for an internet connection and it was not what I had in my mind.

I want to give my opinion about globalization althought I don´t know so much about it, the only thing I know is that we are immersed in it. Globalization is our partner whether we like it or not, it is spread all over the world, yet in countries like Cuba. I agree with globalization even thought it causes a lot of dammages to the entire word, however, globalization has permitted the integration of it, and today I can do a lot of things because of it. If I start to write about the things globalization has permitted can be that tomorrow at this time I will be writing in this blog about it. Unfortunatelly, the people who use this term are the most powerful ones. This means that if we opposse globalization it will be like an egg in from of a stone. As I take it,we have to be on the side of globalization, we have to deal we it, and try to get the state-of- the art in terms of globalization in order to compete in the 21st century.

The WTO, the WB, the IMF and the G8

The World Trade Organization



The World Bank (WB) & The International Monetary Fund (IMF)




the G8





These organizations defend globalization. So, if you take a look at these videos, you will learn a little more what they stand for.

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.

My opinion about -Globalization-

Well globalization involves everything since the clothes we wear to the technology we use and our economy. This picture talks about globalization do you remember the play? So here it is, do you remember that technology is globalized? look at the two naked people introducing a machine, do you remember we were talking about other international companies that were introducing their products in a big amount and ours is getting bought in a less quantity look at the foot of one of the naked person it means that big companies are trampling ours, look somebody jumping through the window it means that the globalization is not good for him and he didn´t have other choise so he decided to kill himself as Bernandina said when she was talking about what was globalization for her and she said she wanted to hanged herself because she can´t save a penny. So I think this picture is a really good example of globalization.

I am not in favor or against the globalization because it brings a lot of good things as bad so we have to check in which areas globalization is productive for us and in which is not. So I don´t say globalization is bad or good it is just what it is and I don´t pay so much attention to that I just live happy like it has to be.
