Education in the Twenty-First Century - 0 views

  • Globalization is also affecting education. English has become the international language, which creates global markets for education in English both at the K–12 level as well as in higher education.
  • K–12 education may evolve into a bureaucracy that will look a lot like European ministries of education, responsible for assuring that the educational needs of a state are met through contracting with for-profit companies, through contracting with not-for-profit contractors in other states, and through the state’s own educational infrastructure, again greatly changed in its social organization and its governance.

Globalization | Advantages and Disadvantages of Globalization | G8 countries - 0 views

  • Globalization Your shirt was made in Mexico and your shoes in China. Your CD player comes from Japan. You can travel to Moscow and eat a Big Mac there and you can watch an American film in Rome. Today goods are made and sold all over the world, thanks to globalization. Globalization lets countries move closer to each other. People, companies and organizations in different countries can live and work together. We can exchange goods , money and ideas faster and cheaper than ever before. Modern communication and technology, like the Internet, cell phones or satellite TV help us in our daily lives. Globalization is growing quickly. A German company can produce cars in Argentina and then sell them in the United States. A businessman in Great Britain can buy a part of a company in Indonesia on one day and sell parts of another business in China the next, thanks to globalization. Fast food companies open shops around the world almost every day.
  • Coca Cola - A symbol of globalization
  • History of Globalization Globalization is not new. For thousands of years people have been trading goods and travelling across great distances. During the Middle Ages, merchants travelled along the Silk Road , which connected Europe and China. The modern age of globalization started with the Industrial Revolution at the end of the 18th century. New machines were able to produce cheaper goods. Trains and steam-powered boats transported products farther and faster. Since 1980, globalization has been moving at a faster pace. Today it is easier for companies to work in other countries. The Internet gives them the chance of reaching more customers around the world. Teleworkers work for firms that may be far away.

  • However , there is a growing debate over globalization. Governments are in favour of globalization because the economy can grow. Other people are not so sure that there are only advantages. Here are some arguments from both sides:
  • Many experts say that we need a different kind of globalization in our world today. There must be ways to make sure that all countries profit from the good sides of globalization. We should help poorer countries by giving them better education and showing them how new technology works. Every year, leaders of the world’s biggest industrial countries get together to discuss economic problems. This meeting is called the G8 summit. In the last few years groups against globalization have organized protest marches and demonstrations to point out that not everyone is happy with how the world’s economy is developing.
  • advantage = the good side of something age = period of history argument =reasons business = company cause =lead to cell phone = a mobile telephone close down = to stop producing goods connect = to link together create = make customer = a person who buys something debate = discussion develop =grow developed countries = rich , industrialized countries disease = illness distance =space economic =about the economy

Indeed, such measures may actually succeed in slowing job losses in affected industries temporarily. But, as I hope I've illustrated, in the end, they impose significant costs on the rest of the economy that are much higher than any benefits.
