Globalization

Globalization though in many new terms is an age old process and one firmly rooted in the history of colonialism.  Global trade expanded quickly during colonial times as European powers sucked in raw materials such as timber, fish, slaves, coffee, and sugars from many countries such as Canada, Africa, and the Caribbean. Globalization now differs from back then, it has completely changed global economy, it's impact on people, and the natural world. The major change is due to the huge alteration in technologies; electronics have radically altered the production, sales and distribution of goods and services as well as patterns of global investment. To paraphrase, he is stating that technology has changed trade as a whole now because it causes more international distribution.  

Globalization is a hugely important issue because it is overwhelming us culturally, physically, and economically. I believe that without globalization we wouldn't be able to export or import as efficiently. Also, globalization has kept us all connected throughout the world. A couple of centuries ago, globalization was not as advanced as it is now. Globalization is now a bigger picture and has had a huge impact now on trade because countries can now import raw materials and it is easier to have access to foreign products because of the huge advancement in technology. Also globalization has had a powerful impact on the health system because it provides a more effective health care system. This impact is because globalization makes health care more available to the open public and also because people can learn about certain ways to be, and stay, healthy. Also, I think that globalization has a lot of technological advancements and because of them our health care system can grow and improve. Globalization is a revolutionary way of living and without it our world would be at a serious loss with global trade and our health care system wouldn't be evolving as quickly as it is.
