Globalization Benefits Technology Improvements In The Modern World

There is no doubt that globalization has made humans more evolved and increased their standard of living. Without technology today, we wouldn 't have the blending of diverse cultures or promoting of new ideas. The internet is so important to the modern world. Imagine if one day it was all gone? You would have only books for research instead of the web. You can 't order things online, but instead you would need to buy everything physically. But no, the world today uses the internet for all sorts of reasons. Ranging from contacting friends to booking a flight. In the 1980 's, the life expectancy was around 80 years. Now a small

People have shared ideas on how to create new vaccines and cures for diseases. Life expectancy and infant mortality rates are a lot lower. This is quoted by Colin Mathers (a coordinator for WHO), "the global life expectancy has increased from 64 years in 1990 to 70 years in 2011." Therefore, you can clearly see how health has improved over the years. Typically, the wealthier a country is, the more healthy the citizens will be. If the country has more money, they may build more hospitals and more citizens will be able to afford to see it. According to John Green on Crash Course, Poverty level is reduced; the difference between 30 years ago in the world and today is that 60 million people aren 't in poverty anymore. When I mean poverty, I mean living on under $1.25 a day. Now, more companies are expanding worldwide, they usually move the labor work to less developed countries. This benefits the companies because it doesn 't require very skilled people; more people will decide to get jobs to provide for their families, even if it means not paying very well. When people collect more income, it raises the per capita income of the country. The citizens can then choose to move to a better environment and eat healthier. They can provide for their families, buying more raw foods. World poverty has decreased by around 75% since 1990. There is also a lower infant mortality rate, while life expectancy is increasing. In 1950, 178 children out of 1,000 died before reaching age 1. In 1990, it was 64 out of 1,000 worldwide. We have created genetically modified foods. Some people don 't think that is right, it is not natural and is not as healthy. On the other hand, I argue that it is a lot easier to produce. Being unhealthy is better than starving to death. Health has improved so much thanks to globalization. Evidence supports the fact that technology not only impacts the health and industrialization, but also the
