In this
blog, I will be discuss a lot about Globalisation.We need to first understand,
“What is Globalisation and how does it influence everyone in this multicultural
society?”.
Nederveen Pieterse (2004, pg.7) talk about that Globalisation is like a prism in which questions of capitalism, inequality, power, development, ecology, culture, gender, identity, population are under dispute where “globalization did it”. There is Globalisation because of these common but different opinions in this multicultural societies we are in. In Globalisation, there are changes that can come from a region, to a nation, to the whole world. This can be changes like politics, economics, trade, finance, lifestyles and cultures (Hachten & Scotton, 2002, pg. 3). Globalisation is basically the combined of this elements.
Is
Globalisation good or bad then? It brings together the world’s similar and
different things to form a globalised society. Globalisation might be
good when countries partner together, sharing knowledge and resources, and
improve its each other's nation. It can be good when the public share their
cultures and lifestyles across world, so that people understand more about each
other. However, Globalisation can also be bad! It can only be good when
people come to a understanding. When they don't, there can be wars between
nations. So, should we push for Globalisation? You decide.

Well done on this post, you have done a good job at covering just what globalisation is, and all that it entails. The inclusion of the image was a good idea because it perfectly encapsulates what globalisation is at its basic elements. You also have good references that back up the information, but it would be good to include your personal opinions on whether globalisation is good or bad (or both) in the post as well.
ReplyDeleteA post well written.
I agree, this post gets to the point of globalisation and has a clear intention behind it but leaving it in an open ended format so that each person who reads this can have there of perception of globalisation which links in with the supporting photo.
ReplyDeleteGreat post with a good picture! You have a lot of really good sources, but i think it would be great to see more analysis between them. I like that at the end you have made reference to both the positive and negative sides of globalisation. I think you could expand more on the negative effects, as the rest of your post is heavily focussed on the idealist and positive side of globalisation. But over all well done :)
