Globalization.
I feel there are definite high points, as well as low points to this.
On the positive side, globalizing our world allows all different cultures to interact. This could lead to wider acceptance and knowledge of each other, allowing us to progress in ways we've never seen before. Along with sharing knowledge, means allowing an even speedier wave of technological advancements to arise. Everyone working together allows informations only known by one to be shared to all, allowing the thought processes to flow together. If this were to fully happen, I can't imagine the things that could be created.
On the negative side, there are many problems that can come of globalization. One thought I had was it could be possible to begin to lose cultural differences. Some may see this as a good thing, but I believe it is important to keep some of these characteristics because it allows us to see a different way of living, what others put value on. It can give us a good perspective on things. Globalization also means more jobs being exported or relying on other nations for supplies we need. Coming from a small town, I see immediate effects of this and it doesn't leave a good feeling.
Globalization can lead to many great achievements, which I fully support. But overall, I'm help back in my encouragement by the employment factor. Until we can develop stronger ideas to keep jobs here, or create new jobs to replace those exported, I cannot fully support the ideas of globalization. I believe that in time we might find a balance to this, and I hope we do.
