Globalization

Globalization is a technology, social, economic and cultural process that is the growing interdependence among countries in the world by joining societies, markets and cultures, through economic, political and social functions are global in nature. Also worth noting that globalization has produced mainly by the companies they live under democratic capitalism.
Globalization has made that the countries change like a way beneficiary and criticism at the same time, depending on the economic level and its development. Some people, who are in favor of capitalism, see this as a beneficial process for the extension of freedom and capitalism. Similarly those who agree to free trade, see it as a great opportunity because it increases job opportunities, effectively transferred resources to greater benefit of the countries involved in this, producing lower prices and increase the production.
However, globalization not only has good things, entails a number of causes and effects, which can seriously affect a country, as this produces the lure of consumerism that would ruin the economy and the morale of many people. This involves the destruction of productive capacities that are in the hands of small traders, and that would be affected due to the emergence of large supermarket chains that appear in international investment, to compete against them. In addiction there is evidence that the processes of globalization widen the gap between the richest and the poorest. It is important to know that the internal stability of emerging countries is affected by investment decisions of most developed countries.
It is important to mention that through globalization, it causes a loss of cultural identity, as globalization is strongly associated with the spread of values and lifestyles of most developed countries. It also produces the state loses control of the national culture, severely affecting a country.
In conclusion, not all countries have the same advantages over globalization, is why every government must consider whether adapting to globalization, as it brings a number of problems mentioned above.
