Draft of an Essay

Introduction:


During the society and economy rapidly developing and communication among all countries increasingly enhance, the world is being an “earth village”. Therefore, the globalization is an objective trend of the economic and social and political development of the contemporary world. There is no alternative to globalization and the trend of it is inevitable and natural. Starting in the late 20th century, after the ending of the 'cold war', 'Globalization', especially the ‘economic globalization’, has become one of the hottest topics.( EMBASSY OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA IN IRELAND) The phenomenon of globalization takes place in all countries and has affected every areas. This essay will briefly discuss both positive and negative impacts on Globalization, especially consider what extent the globalisation are beneficial to business are

To achieve these goals, the analysis will focus on below questions:

Firstly, it will define the globalization and describe the globalization phenomenon.

Secondly, it will briefly discuss influences of globalisation on different areas which including commutations, technology, culture, business, economy and environment.

Thirdly, it will discuss what extent business reaps benefits of globalisation. In this part, the substantial arguments and examples will be reported briefly.

Finally, the essay attempts to provide an overview of globalisation in my opinion.

l Definition of globalisation:

l Effects of globalisation

n Positive effects:
Technology:
Business:
Communication:

n Negative effects:
Culture- globalization might undermine cultural diversity
Increased inequality between countries

l Impacts on business
n Occupation:

Export and import

The Globalization is the historical process, the result of human innovation and technologic development. Whether the globalisation has positive effects or whether it has negative effects, this trend is natural and inevitable. No one has power to governing the globasation. Thus if a country desires to survive and win in this development, it can do nothing but can only face it positively and do is to get used to it.

*TRIP


Today , I had a short trip.

Trip line:
London Eye-Big Ben-China Town.




TIP:

LONDON EYE-The London Eye, also known as the Millennium Wheel, is the tallest (135 metres (443 ft)) Ferris wheel in Europe, and has become the most popular paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom, visited by over 3 million people a year.

At the time it was erected it was the tallest Ferris wheel in the world, until it was surpassed by the Star of Nanchang (160m) in May 2006, and then the Singapore Flyer (165m) on February 11, 2008. However, it is still described as "the world's tallest cantilevered observation wheel" (because the entire structure is supported by an A-frame on one side only) by its operators.


The London Eye is located at the western end of Jubilee Gardens, on the South Bank of the River Thames in London, United Kingdom, between Westminster Bridge and Hungerford Bridge. The site is adjacent to that of the former Dome of Discovery, which was built for the Festival of Britain in 1951.
