Advantages of Globalization

        Fantastic readers, this time our english teacher has asked us a fabulastic text on Globalization...it's not the most amazing theme to talk about, as you must think, but BELIEVE me, it's way much better than searching and writting about Aung San Suu Kyi (one of my closest friends, no doubt!), as I had to do last week.

 After my loooong discussion with my blogmate (about what, a minute?!), we've decided that I would focus my text on the advantages of globalization. Let's start?


Now, I'll present you 3 of those advantages:

1. Global Connectivity

    This means that globalization has allowed international connectivity, mainly with the use of the internet, which made our world a “smaller” place. This phenomenon permited an enormous exchange of thoughts and ideas, making people around the world think, each day more, in a similar way – standardization (big word, han? What a quality blog, ours! Eheh).
    That's maybe why this days I see soo many “little lambs”...I mean, people are being more what others want them to be, and not what they really are (oh, and you can't imagine how often do I see this phenomenon...). One day, maybe we'll be all twins!
   

2. Reduction of trade barriers (Free Trade)

        Free Trade is a situation when the trade between nations is free, with no restrictions such as taxes or quotas on the importation or exportation of goods and services. This policy makes it easier for the consumers to aqcuire procucts with a lower cost.


    Oh, how I wish this system made the prices so low that I was able to buy a Channel' black handbag, without having to base my feeding on lettuces in the following year, for lack of economic resources!



3. Peaceful Relations

       Globalization has raised peace and security worldwide. Many countries, especially for economic reasons, establish peaceful contracts in order to boost their capital and finantial resources. Instead of seeing war as a way of solving their issues, most of the countries in the world choose to make alliances with each other.


    Hum...globalization implies peaceful relations, right? Well, I guess King Juan Carlos isn't much of a globalized man, or maybe he just lived in some less globalized world when, in 2007, he peacefully  asked Hugo Chavéz to shut up, with the famous quote that made history “Porque no te callas?”...




 These are only three of the inumerous advantages of globalization, which I hope you've retained in your little awsome brains! Btw, now that you are a bit more intelligent, after reading my text, I hope you will search for more advantages and tell me next week, with a personal comment on each one of them, just like I did, ok? 

XOXO, Oh My Gossip!
