As with every issue in the world, some support the idea and other disagree. Based on the ideas the book offers about globalization, I do not see a reason to oppose the idea. While it does have some disadvantages, globalization helps to regulate our world of raw products, manufactured good, etc. Without regulation stemming from somewhere in the world, the GLOBAL ECONOMY would cease to exist. Globalization has positive effects on several aspects of our lives. As a result of INTERREGIONAL LINKAGES, our world becomes tied closer and closer together every day. New technology is constantly being released to the public that promotes these kinds of activities. With our country being tied to several others through politics, social connections, and the economy, it is no wonder that globalization can have a positive impact over people everywhere.

Jared Diamond’s thesis in Guns, Germs, and Steel is erroneous because it was mainly the inventions of the Industrial Revolution, specifically the light bulb and railway train, that really separated the European West from the rest of the world and enabled European global domination. The inventions of both the railway train and light bulb had profound impacts on improving manufacturing and transportation efficiency in European countries at different times throughout the nineteenth century. Jared Diamond explains why the Americas or in Africa did not surpass and become global dominants: “Diffusion was slower in Africa and especially in the Americas, because of those continents’ north-south major axes and geographic and ecological barriers”(Diamond
Globalization has had an impact on just about everywhere in the world, whether it be positive or negative. There have been many benefits and good things that have come out of this international movement. We have more goods, we are more connected, things are easier to do, goods are cheaper, and life values and conditions have improved, but what about the people who don't have access to these benefits? What about the people we don't talk about, the ones who make those cheap goods? For some, many negatives have come out of globalization, like decreased living conditions and isolation, even if in our eyes it seems all good and like we couldn't live without it.
The rising and falling of regions of the world is a commonly observed pattern in history, and the changes which ran their course over Europe between 1450 and 1700 formed an important shift in the continent. “In the fifteenth century, European society was still centered on the Mediterranean region, but by the end of the seventeenth century, the focus of Europe had shifted north.” After the fall of the Middle Ages, the Renaissance had sprung up in Florence, Italy and brought forth the cultured art and ideas which characterized the High Renaissance. However, drastic developments began to take place as the Renaissance migrated north, northern countries unified, and a new Atlantic trade began. Between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries, the

Globalization is becoming the latest trend of the worldwide development and affects every single country, including Spain, with positive and negative effects. Spain is located in Southwestern Europe, which is the root of globalization. In the 15th century, some of the royal members from Spain commanded their sailors to travel the world to seek gold and other new trade routes; this action was regarded as the great geographical discovery and firstly developed the relation between the eastern and western countries. From 1959 to 1986, within four processes of liberalization Spain had become one of the most open countries; the openness ratio had increased 18.5% during the 13 years.

The 19th century witnessed a rise in ‘isms’, ranging from colonialism to industrialism. One of the main features of this period was the beginning of industrialization. The Industrial Revolution served as a major turning point in history as it influenced every aspect of life including the political, economic and social sphere through the technological innovations and modern manufacturing processes that it brought about. The revolution occurred gradually across the span of three different time periods, extending from the late 18th century up till the early 20th century. The phenomenon was famously known for originating in Britain and spreading across Europe and eventually the rest of the world.

Globalisation enhances the use of outsourcing and offshoring products.
Economic globalization refers to the free movement of goods, capital, services, technology and information around the world. Since the 1990s, due to the improvement of advanced communication technologies and the rapid expansion of multinational corporations, economic globalization has become an important trend of the world economic development. This trend not only provides a broader space for international markets for all countries, but also aggravates the competition among countries for market and resources. Economic globalization is an inevitable result of the development that no country can evade. In this paper, we will discuss that economic globalization is beneficial or not to developing countries.
The term “ideology” when it was coined in the eighteenth century (ideologie), initially meant “the scientific study of ideas.” Over the passage of time spanning across the last two centuries, however, the term has shifted considerably. Instead of denoting the systematic and logical study of ideas, “ideology” has come to refer to a set of ideas that tries to connect thought with action of the larger group of populace where it is prevalent. That is, ideologies are defined by and attempt to contour how people think—and consequently how they act. Being interdependent, in turn then, the way society conducts itself lends shades to defining the ideology of that era and space, both thereby becoming a blended and intertwined result of each other’s mutual influence.
