Today, the world is open.So the Globalization is the trend in the world.Bill clinton says,"Globalization is not something we can hold off or turn off. It is the economic equivalent of a force of nature-like wind or water." Kofi Annan says, "Arguing against globalization is like arguing against the laws of gravity."
From the internet,Globalization has some advantage.Globalization can increased free trade between nations
Globalization can increased liquidity of capital allowing investors in developed nations to invest in developing nations. Corporations have greater flexibility to operate across borders. Global mass media ties the world together
Increased flow of communications allows vital information to be shared between individuals and corporations around the world.Greater ease and speed of transportation for goods and people. And the Globalization also have some disadvantage,such as Increased flow of skilled and non-skilled jobs from developed to developing nations as corporations seek out the cheapest labor or increased likelihood of economic disruptions in one nation affecting all nations.
Geneally speaking, I think globalization has more advantage than disadvantage.
