What is globalization?
It is the interaction between different country’s around the world, the sharing of knowledge resources and objects.
What is increased connectivity between nations?
Globalisation has helped countries improve trade relations with each other. It has increased interaction between people and businesses. Better connectivity also boosts a country’s economy and enhances the
standard of living for its citizens.
What is cultural exchange?
Improvement in people to people contacts have encouraged the intermingling of cultural practices and customs. It has allowed people to exchange ideas, behaviours and values with other countries. Communities are less isolated as a result of globalisation. For example, several American eateries have penetrated different parts of the world. Similarly, cuisine from far off countries is now readily available in the United
States.
What is production cost?
In a globalized world, companies are free to establish their operations in areas where the cost of production is low. The cheap availability of land, labour and raw materials has become very important. So it makes sense for companies to go where these resources are present in abundant quantities and at discounted rates. It helps them
gain over their rivals by lowering costs and improving profit margins.
What is outsourcing?
One of the characteristics of globalisation is that it allows companies to bring in third parties from outside the country to manage specific processes. They take this step to reduce internal costs, improve the quality of services or both. Outsourcing is a boon for several human resource-rich countries that are looking to generate employment. Countries like India and the Philippines have benefitted immensely as a
result of this practice.
What lead to the inequality’s between country’s?
Industrialization, Rational States, Imperialism
What is Industrialization regarding country’s being different?
Since Europe and North America were primary centres, it made it easy for economic growth which caused gaps in wealth between country’s (inequality’s: poor vs rich)
What are rational States regarding country’s being different?
States where less organized but became more organized by creating rules within the country, this lead to faster rates of development, but it still created gaps in country’s.
What is Imperialism regarding the differences between country’s.
Dominating country’s take over weaker country’s for land and resources to industrialize and become richer, theres destruction of culture ecosystem and economy, this leads to gaps as well.
What is the standard of civilization?
The belief that people around the world should be ranked culturally and/or racially
What’s the connection between standard of civilization and inequality gaps
It is a consequence of global transformation aka the inequality gaps because the dominating country’s (bigger half of the gaps) get to decide the social status system (racism) since they thought in a Eurocentric way and where mostly European (white) country’s .
What’s the difference between League of Nations and United Nations?
