Is globalization a problem or advantage?


Since United states won the well-know cold war, and the capitalism started to be the system which conquered the world, people has had a wrong definition of globalization in their minds. If something happens in Asia, it will be known in America almost instantaneously; diversity in the different countries of the world has provoked that people have lost their identity; by taking a plane, people can get from one continent to other in a few hours. Are we all the same? Will the countries disappear in the future? These are questions that people are always trying to answer.

Nowadays people think that globalization is destroying their societies, but it is not true. Every society adapts the globalization to itself. Chinese people are a perfect example of how society has to adapt itself to teh globalization. They are a powerful society, with a strong economy, they have the latest technology and as we all know, they are extremely organized. Despite of it, China has never lost its traditions and customs, and they have never been an obstacle for its development.

Why are we still afraid of globalization? In the world we have too many examples about countries that have not lost their roots or culture because of the globalization, and people keep on thinking that globalization will destroy what they are. It just depend of the society itself.
