Essay 3
Globalization in the World
When eastern invented the compass, western still used stars to identify the location; When western called to each other by telephone, eastern still wrote letters to send their messages. However today, people share the same technology because of globalization. Globalization happened in nations, economies, and societies. Four articles also talked about it: The Rise of the Rest wrote by Fareed Zakaria talked that America gave the huge influence to the world in a long time, but today the rest culture influence the world more that American, and the globalization is positive to our world. In The Climate for Change, it talked about the Climate problems in the world, and the ways people figure out to solute that. This essay was wrote about climate, but the author give the positive attitude that if youth keep to find the solutions, all problems are not a big deal. In Big Brother Is Us, James told us the revealing of our personal information, and it is kind of information globalized, and James thought it is negative. In Lessons from Lost Worlds, the author told the reader that globalization give a huge dangerous risk to all people. Although globalization has positive and negative influence, I believed the positive effect is stronger than negative, and I will talk about it from religion, healthcare, and environment.
In the past, people always believed that religions’ conflict made the war happened. Religious globalization refers to the spread of religious cultures, practices and beliefs from one often through technology (Beyer, 2004). Today we can see a lot of religions in the same culture. In Tibet, people can see many of Masjid buildings, and the Buddhist holy land is next to them. However, they did not attack each other, on the contract, they lived with happiness and peace. Also America have the largest religions. “The U.S. remains the most open, flexible society in the world, able to absorb other people, cultures, ideas, goods, and services.”(Fareed Zakaria, 202) I agree with Zakaria, because of the globalization, too many cultures swarm into America. It is also a huge strength that mixed all these religious, and live in peace. In the face of swift transformations in the globalized planet, most people turn to religion to gain clear explanation of the world’s happenings in an effort to regain sense of certainty (Kurth, 2013). The religions’ globalized make the positive ways to humans. In few decades ago, many Chinese did not have any belief, so they are very selfish and violent, because they thought no one will blame them, and no one would know what they do in sometimes. Nevertheless, many regions are into China today, like Buddhism, Christian, and more. So many Chinese begin to know and get their briefs. In addition, religions have big power for humans that can give the impetus to people to protect environment, stop the war and take care of homeless people.
When I was a child, I have heard the real story about the doctor in China many times, and these story give me a big influence. The doctor named Bethune who was born in Canada. He came to China and to be a battlefield medics during the Chinese civil war. When his friend asked him why came to China instead of the famous hospital in Canada, he said that he what everybody can get treatment, both rich and poor, man and woman, old and youth. He is a great person, and also he let the healthcare technology get spread. Because of globalization, his dream is become for real. The advancement in technology has led the use of the internet to provide health related services across the whole world. “We turn those cameras on ourselves. Then we beg for more gossip. We invent diamond-hard technologies…of the 19th century.”(James Gleick, 5) James gives the negative ways of the high speed development today, but I do not agree with him. We need these high speed development in our life, we need to use these technology to promote health care or health serves. On the contract, I agree with what Zakaria said, “This is all happening because of ….of our success.”(202) Zakaria thinks we should use these technology to let our life be better. The high speed development today let almost everywhere have the great heal care serves. People can share the common sense about health, and the patient can be transfer immediately between hospitals, even between countries.
Climate crisis is one of the most serious problem in our world, so how can people solve this problem? In The Climate for Change, Gore mentioned five parts plan: “First, the new president and the new….including by sharply reducing deforestation.”(411). These plans seems useful for our environment, and it including use the sun power, underground source, lights, and wind. However, all these plans can leave globalization. The serious environmental problems may cause by globalization, so we should solve it in the same way-----by globalization. In the past, the climate crises may just happened in some place, but today, it is the problem for the whole world, like the global warming. “It creates new opportunities for cooperation but also gives rise to new issues and tensions.” Said by Daniel C.Esty and Maria H.Lvanova, “but these same pressures constrain national government capacities to regulate and necessitate intergovernmental coordination of domestic policies as well as cooperation in the management of the global commons.”(3) Which means governments should cooperate with each other to find the solution, and save the environment together. In addition, we are not protect environment for ourselves, also for our kids or grandkids. “Children have a wonderful ability to focus their parents’ attention on the essentials…and I couldn’t grasp that the environmental risks were real.”(Jared Diamond, 416) People will be selfish sometimes, we usually think why should we protect environment? It is not our business. However, if we change a view to think it is different. We should think we must give a clean and healthy world to our kid to live, then we will begin to protect the environment by ourselves. Compare to Al Gore, he said “This year similarly saw the rise of young Americans, whose enthusiasm electrified Barack Obama’s campaign…once again turning seemingly impossible goals into inspiring success.” Gore thought youth also should protect the environment, because the world is our world, everyone have the responsibility to protect our world. These two author have the similar main idea that is all of us should be care about our environment, it is our home, and it is also our kids’ home.
Globalization is accordingly an essential advancement in human improvement. It has in these ways positively affected the lives of individuals around the world with least negative impacts. I believe that globalization provides an environment for growth of nations through access and exportation of products and services inaccessible to each other. However, it should be noted that regulation and oversight is key to ensuring sustainability and fairness among the nations worldwide more often the developing category.
