Spaces And Exchanges : Globalization

Spaces and exchanges

I've chosen to talk about the globalization in order to illustrate the notion of “Spaces and exchanges”.

This notion deals with the geographical and symbolic spaces that all societies occupy and the exchanges between men and different societies.

An exchange is an act of giving and receiving something else in return.

To continue, we may wonder

Did it create a “smaller” world ? Did it really benefit everyone ?

First, I will deal about the globalization and then, I will turn to the benefit of globalization. Finally, I will move to the handicaps of this phenomenon.

First I will deal about the globalization :

As I said, Globalization is a world wide phenomenon. On a parallel level, one of the major developments in the most recent years is the internet and the social networks: Face book, Twitter, Skype…they are changing the way we live and communicate today. These networks make the exchanges easier between friends and family abroad.

Owing to Globalization, firms can easily move to other countries were the salaries are less expensive. This phenomenon is called relocation. Thus, by offering jobs, it helps more than millions of people to reach a better standard of life.

However, if we have a deep look in the same case of Priti, we can highlight, that this phenomenon created a trouble between her and her parents instead of pleasure. She is ready to rejects her tradition values in order to work in an Australian company.

Unfortunately, Globalization causes conflicts and illegality between people. Moreover, due to relocation, jobs are destroyed and there are more and more unemployment and lays off, in developed countries.

As a conclusion, I can say that on the one hand, Globalization allows us to be connected to everyone by creating a smaller world and it's a force for good. But on the other hand, it creates unemployment and lays off. To my mind, it's an
