Globalization

Good or Evil?


Well just to clarify, globalization is defined as a standardization of life and society on a multitude of levels. Things like economy, technology, and political styles are being mocked and blended all around the world to almost establish a universal "right" way of doing things. While I feel there are a few necessary evolving changes such as technological advances (computers, internet, communication) and medical development, there is no need for the entire planet to follow a set of standardized guidelines.

The beauty of this nation- and hopefully the world- is that peoples are free to have their own culture, credo, and lifestyle. Globalization can exist on some levels for the betterment of society at large, but it cannot take away the rights and choices of an individual. To answer the original question, full-scale globalization is bad, but worldwide assistance, understanding, and support is good. When we are able to help a foreigner with new ideas without forcing or imposing our own, then we can say we are truly "globalized."
