The globalization phenomenon has facilitated purchasing the same goods for all people, which brings about the similarities of all countries. Although this phenomenon can have some positive effects on people’s lives, I believe it will negatively impact society in the long run.
In recent years, we observe eye-catching advertisements among different media that have encouraged people to purchase their necessary items from international and online companies, since these companies, such as Amazon, have provided any items from basic needs to the most luxury goods, it inevitably leads to people`s interest to purchase their everyday stuff from there. The most beneficial aspect of this development is that unemployed individuals can be recruited by these companies and work remotely, so it can reduce the rate of unemployment in poor countries. Besides, young people will become familiar with the international trading environment and will be able to run their own businesses in the future. Finally, most experts believe that globalization will result in easier life, and customers can save their money and times as much as possible.
On the other hand, if people use the same products, cultural differences will vanish gradually. People in different countries learn to have similar lifestyles and be interested in the same stuff, consequently, the new generation will forget their ancient cultures, and we will encounter a world without civilization and history in the future. Besides, local businesses that play a vital role in society, as they support local communities and get involved in their activities, will be negatively affected by globalization. Furthermore, from the psychological perspective, differences are incentives for people to learn and investigate about the world; without differences, the individuals will get bored and are more likely to suffer from depression.
In conclusion, despite all the positive effects that globalization can have on people`s lives, I think providing the same products for all citizens without considering their cultural differences could be problematic for society.
