Your submission
In recent years, the expansion of international companies has accelerated the pace of globalization. While such a trend could be beneficial to some people, I would argue that it is not true for all individuals in the world. To begin with, globalization will improve many people’s life quality
way that services and products can be more easily accessed. This is because globalization is often accompanied
frequent trade in goods and technology among countries, making these not constrained to the local market, but easily acquired from other regions as well. For instance, because of
international expansion, most of us are waiting shorter, and paying a much lower price when taking a ride. Conversely, if such
were only accessible in the U.S, then less people would be able to enjoy such a convenient and
lifestyle. Nevertheless, the proliferation of international companies may affect some employees in a negative way as there will be fewer job opportunities. The reason for that
order to cut operational expenses, corporations tend to migrate their manufacturers to countries where tax rates and human
are much cheaper. As a consequence, employees who work at
will be under great risk of losing the job, and be put under a pressing financial burden if it finally happens. In conclusion, although the rise in globalization can affect most of us positively, in the sense that we can enjoy life better with high quality goods, it might also harm some people due to reduction in job opportunities and the contaminant unemployment.
