[范文] My View on Globalization
Since we start learning history in the middle school, we have contacted to globalization more or less. However, there seems not to be an exact definition to explain globalization. A careful definition says that globalization is an international flow of goods and capital, centering on economic globalization. In the process, the corresponding regional and international economic organizations and economic entities come into beings, along with the international communications, collisions, conflicts and fusions of culture, the way of life and the sense of value. The development of globalization cannot be stopped. Nowadays there has been a heated debate over the globalization.
Many people strongly hold that the globalization benefits many aspects of a country. Globalization influences the financial condition as well as the industrial sector of a particular nation. It gives birth to markets based on industrial productions across the world. Besides, globalization in politics helps in the formation of a world government to normalize the existing interactions among countries. Globalization not only let Chinese people know the world, but also let the world know China.
However, some opponents maintain that the globalization would kill a nation's cultural characteristics. For example, some Chinese people enjoy Christmas Day, instead of Chinese New Year's Day, and Valentine's Day, but not Qixi. It is normal that different cultures collide and lead to contradiction. But the problem is that some people are losing our traditional culture and our culture is being westernized. Also, bad aspects of foreign cultures are affecting the local cultures through TV and the Internet.
To my mind, globalization is a double-edged sword that brings both advantages and disadvantages, but I approve of globalization. It's the demand of society's development. Obviously, the society cannot meet people's needs and wants all the time. They always require more things than already existing, which propel the society forward. Globalization comes into being in the process of the society's development. In the process of globalization, China shares more benefits than suffering, as far as I am concerned. Globalization contributes much to China's development over the past years. It brings about new technology, more business and job chances, capital and support. As we all know, the year of 2008 is very memorable for everybody in China. Out of question, it is the globalization offering a stage for China to show, and also the globalization offering good opportunities for foreign friends to learn about China. On the contrary, China can keep in touch with other countries all over the world. For individuals, people's living conditions are much better and people are living a more colorful life. Globalization makes the world smaller and makes it possible for people to talk, travel, exchange ideas and experience on a global scale.
Since globalization becomes an unavoidable trend, it becomes a challenging work for human beings to take advantages of it. Meanwhile, we should not lose ourselves in the process of globalization. In summary, globalization is a natural process in which people interact in the way of living, sense of value, pattern of thinking and so on. It is a result of the society's development; it stems from human nature. As we all know, people cannot avoid globalization, but accept the challenge reasonably. If everybody could contribute to globalization, there will be a big hope for globalization to do something useful and helpful for human beings in the future.
