Pros and cons of globalization

Globalization refers to the tendency of investment funds and businesses to move beyond domestic and national markets to other markets around the globe, thereby increasing the interconnectedness of different markets. 

Advantages of globalization 
- There is a better access to products from many different countries. 
- Demand of products increases and more people have opportunities to get jobs.

   that were not available before. 
- People have greater access to skills training and educational opportunities 
- Many countries can work together to overcome natural disasters 
   and global challenges
- Cultural barriers between countries can be broken down
- More developed countries can support less developed countries
- Countries can continue their peaceful relationship

- The loss of cultural identity of some less developed countries
- Local markets would suffer because people will go shop 
   at transnational corporations
- Countries become too interdependent with each other
- There will be exploitation of labor
