Globalization defines the process of integration of different cultures, political systems, and economies as the world becomes increasingly connected. Although it can be debated that globalization first occurred during the great migrations of people such as those who crossed over to North America from Asia thousands of years ago or that it started during the age of colonization, globalization as we recognize it today was not defined until the 1970s, when the world was already in the midst of dramatic

I chose Australia due to the amount of positive feedback I have received from relatives who contemplated never returning back to the States after their visiting the land down under. The BBC describes Australia as one of “the best countries to live in comparisons to wealth, education, health and quality of life.” (BBC, 2015) I was not sure if their popularity was due to the positive effects of globalization or if it was because they chose to not extremely globalize like the other countries.

break down indigenous cultures, especially in violent post-WWII conflicts and through unsanctioned government intervention, the negatives are balanced by the spread of technology and ideas that benefit underdeveloped countries. The downsides of globalization include the potential of a generic monoculture and deteriorated relations due to cultural clashes. The introduction of Western ideologies to essentially untouched civilizations often proposes the notion that traditional methods are worse because
‘The benefits of globalization for individual businesses are outweighed by the costs for economies and society as a whole’.
