Globalization  By Group1 work together and benefit from each other Examples: Here’s a widely used demonstration of globalization. All the parts of a car come from all over the world: Germany, Japan, Korea etc, and are assembled in the U.S. If you look at the tag on your shirt, chances are you would see that it was made in China, which of course is normal because we live in China. But what if you are from a foreign land say America. A shirt could have very well been made with Chinese cotton sewed by Thai hands, shipped across the Pacific on a French freighter crewed by Spaniards to a Los Angeles harbor. Globalization is a process that has everything to do with geography. On a more daily life related level. Someone in America can be eating Japanese noodles for lunch while someone in Sydney Australia is eating classic Italian meatballs. Just like Chinese restaurants are very popular in other countries, we can see McDonald’s and KFC almost everywhere in China. the benefits from globalization: Globalization takes jobs away from the people living in developed countries into developing countries. Those workers in developing countries benefit from the vacancies open to them. Those workers in developed countries lose the jobs, but benefit from the cheaper products in supermarket. Globalization enables transfer of technology and knowledge across international border. Globalization enables the ease of transfer of knowledge, enabling universities to reach out to more students via online learning mode. The live broadcast of sport events, especially Olympics and World Cup, is another way that people benefits from globalization. Companies benefit from globalization. They make products in one country, and can sell to the buyers throughout the world. Even when multinational companies move the manufacturing plant from home country to other country, the shareholders in the home country benefit from better bottom line, and higher dividends.
