    Globalization has both benefits and drawbacks for making the world a better place. It has potential to benefit the world economically through greater access to goods, services, and opportunities. However, it can also lead to economic disparity, loss of cultural identity, and uneven development that favors richer countries. While globalization may contribute to these issues, it can also help address them by increasing aid, exposing corruption, and preserving struggling cultures. On balance, whether globalization makes the world better depends on how well its impacts are managed.

    Globalisation makes the world a better place. To what extent is this true today?

    QUESTION ANALYSIS

    - Kex: listing and polarity


    - Ambiguous words: a better place
    - Key words: globalization, world, a better place, is this true, today
    - Assumptions: globalization has benefitted the world make sure to critique this!

    Introduction:

    - Context: Brexit, populist backlash, rise of anti-globalisation camp, Trumps take back jobs from
    China
    - Supporters: globalization engenders greater choice, greater access to goods / services / other
    locations, greater opportunities for wealth for countries
    - Detractors: cultural erosion, economic disparity / inequality, unemployment, uneven access to
    opportunity
    - Thesis: globalization has much potential to benefit the world economically and socially but only
    if properly harnessed

    1st point: globalization has been blamed for ills such as dependency, by favouring (richer) countries with
    an economic edge and increasing competition for local businesses. The economic paradigm has changed
    due to globalization, in other words

    - Nigerias dependence upon Shells patronage (American TNC)

    2nd point: cultural hegemonisation, loss of cultural identity, global rather than local citizens. Dilution
    of local cultural beliefs and practices

    Rebuttal: but globalization can help these cultures survive. People can bring attention to dying cultures.
    Admittedly these cultures must be profitable or commercialized first but its better than nothing (e.g.
    native American jewellery, local craftsmens trinkets sold in Thailand or Vietnam) (2nd point)

    - (1st point) Similarly, it is precisely globalization that allows richer countries to develop / send aid
    to struggling countries with more ease through the set-up international governmental orgs such
    as the World Bank or UN. Extensive amounts of aid gets sent every year, to the tune of at least a
    few million, but they never reach the struggling communities in countries due to corrupt
    governments and civil conflicts. Globalisation allows for the exposure of the truth about these
    corrupt governments, actually, or expedites this

    4th point: greater cultural exposure and awareness

    5th point: more choice, more employment opportunities

    - Maquiladoras in Mexico
