Martens & Zywietz (2006) have urged that globalization, as its name suggests, is a global phenomenon that should be embraced by the whole world failure to which the benefits may not be fully realized.

All nations should be encouraged to open up their business, and social structures invite opportunities of integration because they will lead to the betterment of livelihoods of the citizens through increased social-economic growth. Globalization is benefitting even those who really do not appreciate it. The benefits of globalization far outweigh the disadvantages.

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.
