Why is globalisation a good thing?

Why is globalisation a good thing?

1. The sharing of ideas, experiences and lifestyles of people and cultures.

   • People can try new foods, experience fashion and culture easily and quickly from all over the world

2. TNCs helps countries by providing new jobs and skills for local people.

3. Globalisation increases awareness of events in far-away parts of the world. For example, the UK was quickly made aware of the 2004 tsunami tidal wave and sent help rapidly in response.

4. TNC's bring wealth into local economies when they buy local resources, products and services. The extra money created by this investment can be spent on education, health and infrastructure.

5. Globalisation may help to make people more aware of global issues such as deforestation and global warming - and alert them to the need for sustainable development.

6. News can spread quickly and easily from country to country
