Discussion Assignment Week 5 Globalisation
In this world some countries are very rich and developed and some are very poor and undeveloped. There are many things that affect the development of a country -or the lack of development. I am going to investigate the problems which Pakistan faces, particularly the problems which the World Bank emphasises for lifting countries out of the so-called ‘poverty-trap’. Pakistan faces many problems, and I am going to describe two of them; its geography and its education system. These are both areas which the W B and UNDP believe can make a difference to countries, if they are dealt with.
First, geographical problems have a bad effect on the economy of Pakistan and its development. Pakistan has 70 % of its income based upon agriculture, but now there is no reliable source of water. This is because all of the rivers coming from India have no water any more due to dams which were built by India to save water for their agriculture. Due to lack of water the production of food has become less and the income of country is affected. Farmers become poorer and the development process in the villages is bad. Natural Disasters are also a factor which directly affects the development process and economy.

These are the big differences between developed countries and Pakistan. If Pakistan is to develop and escape from the ‘poverty trap, where it has been for nearly seventy years, it should make a proper plan to control and improve these two major factors. Investment in education and in clean water and agriculture needs to be increased and the spending of a huge amount on weapons should be decreased. In this way it could begin a development process such as those suggested by the World Bank and similar
Other problems develop such as workers being killed from construction, strikes from workers, and the
Throughout our lives, things around us have been changing, simple things, such as iPhones and other technology because of globalization. Globalization since the second world war has been mostly better for us than worse because there are decreased poverty rates and life expectancy has increased, but we are polluting our world with environmental destruction and Co2 emissions. Since the Second World War, extreme rates of poverty have decreased. According to Document 1, starting around 1950, there was a steep decrease in extreme poverty. It went from around 60% in 1950 to lower than 20% in 2015.
Globalization in the past 80 years has connected our world exceptionally well compared to the years before. Just under 80 years ago, when World War II ended, people saw an opportunity to grow together and learn from past mistakes. Globalization has brought the world together which has caused poverty rates to go down, work systems to become stronger leading to more accessibility, and overall life expectancy to increase. Globalization has forever changed the ways of the world and will continue to benefit people by bringing us together to become one substantial world. Globalization has benefited our world involving the decrease in poverty rates.
With new technologies, vast natural resources have become scarce. Environmental deterioration and scarcity of resources were and still are problems affecting many people. There are still many problems that are still being endured. There are countries where people have no shelter, food, or water. Rapid population growth has had a big impact on society.
The development intensification of economic, political, ecological, social and cultural interconnections across international borders, it is what alludes to the term globalisation (Steger, 2009). Globalization is often argued to the only route to development and human contentment. However, these advances particularly in technology, political integrations and economic growth within and between countries has fragmented or shrunk the aspects of space, time and speed to some extent, at the environmental disbursement (Bozorgmehr, 2010). Additionally, all high-income countries (HICs), middle-income countries (MICs) and low-income countries LICs have unparalleled challenges associated with source, supply, demand, use and distribution of food, water,
To what extent does globalization contribute to sustainable prosperity for all people? Globalization contributes largely to sustainable prosperity for all people. Sustainable prosperity is when people of any ethnicity,religion or gender have all their needs met, all have an equal opportunity to create wealth and all to have the chance to pursue happiness. There are many groups that try to make sure everyone has sustainable prosperity. Based on the perspective demonstrated the source should be embraced to a certain extent.
Desertification, Deforestation, soil depletion, and water contamination are among some of the consequences of agriculture. An agricultural boom often means that an over farming and an overproduction stage occurs. This result can be worse than the pre-food famine, because now no food is being produced. Water contamination from pesticides and
These include floods and droughts. However, the most concrete impact recently has been by drought. The government and the people have not been able to provide enough food supply for themselves. Due to the growth
The more assistance poor nations get from the wealthy ones the more labour they have to produce. Businesses and companies gain from this because labour with low salaries, no health costs or unions to protect them are involved. Overpopulation has brought about an imbalance socially, economically and environmentally. In some countries such as China and Iran, the government has tried to regulate their populations.
The Effects of Growing up in Poverty Poverty is not a new phenomenon we are dealing with. It has been an issue from the foretime till now. Poverty gradually has continued and changed its form in a different manner that has created many problems for the new generations, for example, in the old days poverty implicated to lack land and food, but nowadays, poverty means lack of education, lack of food and water, lack of money and much more. The main cause of poverty is a lack of money or income which has created a very critical situation in local and international society. These critical situations are child labor, hunger, health problems and much more that we are dealing with nowadays.
As examining the Indo-Pakistani conflict through rationalist lenses should not be radically denied, this thesis will test conventional constructivism as a method in studying Pakistan 's situation. 4. Post-Colonialism I will explain the basic assumptions of Post-Colonialism, its usefulness and its weaknesses. Its operative characteristics.
Pakistan is in serious danger because these problems are common here and with our internal and external enemies waiting to pound, the volcano can burst open any time causing the people and economy to suffer
Globalization is the process of transformation of the whole world into the global village, and it means that the borders of countries are open to reciprocal integration and connection. All governmental systems in both developed and developing countries were under the influence of various globalization processes. Regarding education, it is considered that developing countries felt significant impact of the globalization processes in the last 40 years. Globalization and education are considered as an intertwined set of global processes affecting education, such as worldwide discourses on human capital such as are lifelong learning, the knowledge economy and technology, English as a global language; multilateral organizations and multinational corporations. Educational discourses generally assign to human capital, lifelong learning for improving job skills, and economic development, because most governments prioritize the developing the human capital to stimulate economic progress.
Poor people being unable to take part in social and cultural norms leads to breakdown of social relation among the people The effects of poverty can be mainly categorized as unemployment, illiteracy, food security, psychological well-being, increased crime rate, child health, homelessness etc. Major effect of poverty is unemployment to those without land or dependable wage labor. Poor people can rarely find permanent, salaried job in the village or even in the city. Poor people engage in informal and daily wage labor with no security and low earnings.
