Journal topic 8: Debate on Globalization


Convergence, which is also known as the catch up effect, states that poorer economies per capita incomes will grow faster than the richer economies. Therefore developing countries such as China and India have the potential to grow at developed countries because dimishing returns aren’t as strong as in capital rich countries. Because of globalization, China and India economies have increased rapidly.
Globalization is the independent of world economy, in which countries interact with each other. There are some critiques about globalization. Definitely some people will lose and some people will gain from globalization. More specifically, some experts believe that it might diminish sovereignty, change and dilute national cultural, and fewer ways to monitor companies by government. However, people from the developed countries believe that globalization brings more choices, promotes economic growth, provides more jobs, and increase living standard faster.
Globalization has influenced my life a lot. Without it, I probably still live in a really shabby house with no technology, because globalization allows countries to trade and interact from one place to another. For example, in Taiwan, not all the things are made in Taiwan. There are many other things that are made in China. Therefore without globalization, we might not be able to have some resources that we are having right now.
