Modernization means a great change for many countries. As you can see some effects of modernization is the outsourcing of business in other countries. That means less job for some countries while a great opportunity for other countries offering cheap labor cost. Other effects of modernization I think is the way people lives. Like now at our times, technology affects how we live our lives everyday. Cellphones and internet have largely affected the way we communicate with each other.

This kind of question should be answer by someone in India. Globalization can be good to India, because a lot of entreprises can open factories there or not,  move that factories to another place. Globalization doesnt mean free buying without taxes in all world, that only happen in countries in EU. Now Africa countries to export their produts have great problems because taxes are high, that's one of the reason of poverty in Africa. Globalization helps or can make very bad situation in different country, its the democratization of all. Internet, for example is the globaliztion of information!!! A entreprise can leave one country bcs pay too much to their employees and open a factory on India because is cheaper, and that will be good to your country. Globalization is opening everything, there are people says is capitalism in his worse way. About food procesing industry u have to see in local in India.

Globalisation is a tricky subject because no matter how many different countries and languages exist, we live on ONE planet (so its a double edged sword...does a country get involved in the global market and grow or does it try to withdraw and hid with its borders and preseve its cultural and national identity)\n\nI say that traditions are important but need to give way or adpat to the world\n\n1) What country wants to be without medical, business, science, and techological gadgets and the like to improve the lives of it government and people? China and India and other countries that were behind in Globalisation are speeding up to join the world. The Middle East despite all its political and social issues are wanting to join the rest of the world in trade and techological advances\n\n2) A country that isolates itself will have to join the world anyways (like China) but the more it drags its feet the futher behind it will be the rest of the world \n\n3) A country that joins the world market full force can wield influence over other countries. China and India are two good examples...the USA one of the most powerful countries on the planet can't really bully them around without negative political and economic effects to itself.\nThe Middle East also wield influence over the US and the rest of the world. Countries that want to grow need fuel to power their trade, goods, and market so you have to go to countries that have the means to fuel your global ambitions. India wants nuclear fuel to power its markets so it has to deal with the USA\n\n3) Tradition is erroded in the process but any given country would like to give a little of this up so that it will not be a total victim of assimilation of the other countries that go full force into Globalisation

Although many people don't see it this way it seems to me that globalization isn't something new. It's been around since as far back as Alexander the great. He tried to promote one culture, one language, one set of beliefs. Globalization cannot unfortunately be analyzed by saying this is good this is bad. It is always subjective. What I might see as a pro you might see as a con and the opposite. I believe for example Coca Cola should not be sold in third world countries; they hardly have enough water to drink. The Coca Cola business man sees it differently; he sees it as a developing market. That covers only one aspect of globalization but can to a certain extent be generalized.

Legal risks as well as the tax consequences are very big.  HR and cultural issues becomes another concern.  Marketing as well as filing requirements in the countries affected, etc...just to name a few.\n\nThere's really too little information here to give any meaningful advice.

One can certainly write a book about this topic, but here are a few consequences stemming from the increasing numbers of overseas Filipino workers, of OFWs.\n\nSociological: many observers have noticed changes in the traditional family structure; as a substantial portion of OFWs are women, they often work abroad to send money home to put their children through school; thus, children often live in single parent households where the primary breadwinner is absent and gender roles are reversed, i.e. the mother is the breadwinner, while the father takes on the role of homemaker.\n\nEconomic: overseas remittances are important in keeping the Philippines' balance of payments in surplus; as such, this preserves the level of reserve assets held by the Philippines, thus contributing to debt sustainability (the country is one of the largest issuers of sovereign debt in the developing world) and propping up the exchange rate (thanks in part to the large inflow of overseas remittances from OFWs, the Philippine peso was one of the strongest performers vis-a-vis the U.S. dollar in 2005).\n\nPolitical: given their increased importance in the economy, OFWs have rightly gained increased influence as a political constituency--up until 2004, overseas Filipinos were denied the right to vote; because of their large numbers -- some estimates go as high as 8 million -- their vote could potentially swing an election; however, as evidenced by the low turnout by eligible overseas Filipino voters in 2004, huge logistics problems need to be tackled to fulfill that potential.

The impact can be described in one word... globalization. Globalization reforms are actually going to boost India's economy enormously and make them a viable global market competitor to be taken very serious.

How about something on the negative effects of outsourcing to China, on companies? Look into China's energy deficencies, its human rights violations,and its environmental problems that might affect a company's work force, as well as production.

Globalization means integrating our economy with world economy.

you are right. They want to define globalization according to their comfort. If they go to developing countries, it is globalization and open market. But if someone from the developing countries is coming to buy their companies, they will forget the alphabets of "free trade" and start protecting.

Definition: - "The tendency of investment funds and businesses to move beyond domestic and national markets to other markets around the globe, thereby increasing the interconnectedness of different markets."\n\nIt refers to the worldwide phenomenon of technological, economic, political and cultural exchanges, brought about by modern communication, transportation and legal infrastructure as well as the political choice to consciously open cross-border links in international trade and finance. It is a term used to describe how human beings are becoming more intertwined with each other around the world economically, politically, and culturally. Although these links are not new, they are more pervasive than ever before.\n\nThe economic aspects stressed in globalization are trade, investment and migration. The globalization of trade entails that human beings have greater access to a plethora of goods and services never seen before in human history. From German cars, to Colombian coffee, from Chinese clothing, to Egyptian cotton, from American music to Indian software, human beings may be able to purchase a wide range of goods and services. The globalization of investment takes place through Foreign Direct Investment, where multinational companies directly invest assets in a foreign country, or by indirect investment where individuals and institutions purchase and sell financial assets of other countries. Free migration allows individuals to find employment in jurisdictions where there are labor shortages.\n\nThe political aspects of globalization are evidenced when governments create international rules and institutions to deal with issues such as trade, human rights, and the environment. Among the new institutions and rules that have come to fruition as a result of globalization are the World Trade Organization, the Euro currency, the North American Free Trade Agreement, to name a few.\n\nCultural global ties also grow through globalization as news ideas and fashions through trade, travel and media move around the globe at lightning speed. Global brands such as Coca-Cola, Puma & Sony serve as common reference to consumers all over the World. An individual in China enjoys the same soft drink as an individual in Puerto Rico--at opposite ends of the globe. However, these ties may also cause strains: for example Western Ideas of freedom of expression may clash with Islamic views on Religious tolerance

Globalization is neo-imperialism. This means the whole world should do what USA tells them to do. Anybody says anything against the western invasion, will be called "Anti-western" and be destroyed by American globalizers. On the other hand it is the god given right of the west to be anti-east. To make sure this plan of globalization works, son-of-a-bush is making sure that nobody else can have nuclear bombs. Only America has used nuclear bomb in the past and only they can have it.

Importation of products, no problem.\n\nExportation of jobs.... big problem.

Globalization began with the Achaemenid dynasty in ancient Persia.\n\nAt its height, there were 70 million people in the empire, they affected all world trade and the Abrahamic and Dharmic religions.  \n\nThis is where economic, military and religious linkages begin to occur.\n\nFor a later starting point, try the conquest of the Americas, when Aztec and Inkan gold fund the expansion of several Western Asian maritime powers (Europe in common speak).\n\nWorld War 1, or the European Civil War as it should be known, opened up the possibilities that horrors and more horrors were to come.\n\nThe present phase of globalization, known as neoliberalism, began in the US with the defeat of Barry Goldwater, was exported to Chile in 1973 (by force), drew momentum from the oil and fiscal crises of the 1970's, the Latin American debt crises of the 1980's and the fall of the wall in the 1990's.

Trying to come to terms with the fact that China etc. have overtaken her economically, leaving the US as a second-tier nation.\n\nDesperately trying to hold together the scraps of an "empire" they worked so hard to create at the turn of the century.\n\nRealising that natural resources are running low, and trying to stem the tide of rampant overexploitation \n\nWishing that they'd done something about it 20 years ago!

At a top political and economic level, globalization is the process of denationalization of markets, politics and legal systems, i.e., the rise of the so-called global economy. The consequences of this political and economic restructuring on local economies, human welfare and environment are the subject of an open debate among international organizations, governmental institutions and the academic world. This portal does not take part in this debate or offer any information on this matter.\n\nAt a business level, we talk of globalization when companies decide to take part in the emerging global economy and establish themselves in foreign markets. First they will adapt their products or services to the final user's linguistic and cultural requirements. Then, they might take advantage of the Internet revolution and establish a virtual presence on the international marketplace with a multilingual corporate web site or even as an e-business.\n\nIn the context of this portal, globalization is the process of adapting software applications and web sites, so that they are linguistically and functionally suitable for use in more than one country. Overall, globalization requires a combination of linguistic, engineering and marketing knowledge that is not easily available.
