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.

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.
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.
The Two Major Themes in “Araby” James Joyce’s “Araby” depicts two excellent examples of themes that are becoming of age and going on a quest.

Globalization has its bad sides but is not all bad, it has lead to a greater trade network between countries and has saved lives by spreading information, medicine, clean water and food.

Strengths: The major strength of The kingdom of Saudi Arabia relies heavily on its strategic location. As it is the birthplace of prophet Mohammed and the birth of Islam, it has great antiques and history that is appreciated by Arabs, Muslims and everyone around the world, as the history of the Arab peninsula goes back to more than 1400 years. This provides tons of historic information and antiques that will attract tourists around the world.
