India plays a large role in the globalization and globalization process.\n\nFirst lets look at the word globalization, it is define as "The term “globalization” describes the increased mobility of goods, services, labour, technology and capital throughout the world. Although globalization is not a new development, its pace has increased with the advent of new technologies, especially in the area of telecommunications."\n\nIndia IT expertise and infrastructure helps in making this mobility happen, online service such as Amazon, CDNow and other oline retail are able to operate 24/7 without break, this is made possible by the so called Back Office Processing, which India excel.\n\nThis service include call center, where someone in India pick up the phone when you call customer service, be it an inquiry to a product, asking for an assistance with your product or filing for a complaint.\n\nSame as the order processing, when you place online order, the transaction is immediately relay to such site, where your credit are cross check, order process and goods being send for packaging and shipping from somewhere in US or in Germany as in Amazon case.\n\nThese are few example how India help in this mobility.

You move into a neighborhood you can afford and your associates earn approximately the same as you do.\n\nCapitalism is when the elite members of a society control all the money and futures of companies and products that their wisdom persuades them to invest in.\n\nSocialism is best left to be enjoyed by the elderly and frail whom can not contribute to their society and can be sustained by a modest monthly stipend to pay for rents and a quota of food.

GLOBALIZATION\n\nThe politicians are being bribed to destroy America, we call these bribes campaign contributions. Monied interests who want to unify the Western Hemisphere into a single trade bloc from Canada to Chile have been supporting politicians who will make laws and policy decisions to bring about this goal. For years the ground work has quietly been laid, NAFTA, lax border enforcement, foreign aid to developing nations to impoversh those nations and make them subject to foreign money manipulation.\n\nWith the flood of illegals in the US the main opposition to this trade bloc, the US middle class, is being eliminated. Soon the middle class will vanish and there will be no group with the political will to resist the New World order being constructed against our interests.\n\nSo by allowing this massive influx of people into our nation it will destroy the middle class and stop the opposition for these trade blocs and ultimatly a New World Order.

I believe that globalization affects all, so in that regard I disagree with you. However, i believe that it is the rich people (haves) that are benefiting form the trend of globalization therefore marginalizing the poor (have nots). The reason for this belief lies in the fact the system of globalization is based on the fact the world is at different stages of development, what this means is that the disparity between the rich nations and the poor nations is so large that it is worth a Multi-National Corporations(MNCs) while to invest and "exploit" the population of a lesser developed national because they simply charge less for their labour. The rich people continue to have and get more while the poor people continue to rely on the rich (west) for handouts.

Globalization\nThe tendency of investment funds and businesses to move beyond domestic and national markets to other markets around the globe and thereby increase the interconnectiveness of different markets.\n\nInvestopedia Says: In general, globalization is seen as making the world one community. The advantages and and disadvantages of globalization has been debated and scrutinized heavily in recent years. Proponents say that it helps Second and Third World nations catch up much faster through increased employment and technological advances. Opponents of globalization say that it reduces national sovereignty and allows rich nations to ship domestic jobs overseas where labor is much cheaper.\n\n\n"Globalization" can mean:\n\nThe formation of a global village — closer contact between different parts of the world, with increasing possibilities of personal exchange, mutual understanding and friendship between "world citizens", and creation of a global civilization. The World Bank defines globalization as the “Freedom and ability of individuals and firms to initiate voluntary economic transactions with residents of other countries”. \nEconomic globalization — there are four aspects to economic globalization, referring to four different flows across boundaries, namely flows of goods/services, i.e. 'free trade' (or at least freer trade), flows of people (migration), of capital and of technology. A consequence of economic globalization is increasing relations among members of an industry in different parts of the world (globalization of an industry), with a corresponding erosion of National Sovereignty in the economic sphere. The IMF defines globalization as “the growing economic interdependence of countries worldwide through increasing volume and variety of cross-border transactions in goods and services, freer international capital flows, and more rapid and widespread diffusion of technology” (IMF, World Economic Outlook, May, 1997). \nThe negative effects of for-profit multinational corporations — the use of substantial and sophisticated legal and financial means to circumvent the bounds of local laws and standards, in order to leverage the labor and services of unequally-developed regions against each other. \nThe spread of capitalism from developed to developing nations. \n"The concept of Globalisation refers both to the compression of the world and the intensification of consciousness of the world as a whole" - Roland Robertson \nIt shares a number of characteristics with internationalization and is used interchangeably, although some prefer to use globalization to emphasize the erosion of the nation-state or national boundaries.\n\nGlobalism, if the concept is reduced to its economic aspects, can be said to contrast with economic nationalism and protectionism. It is related to laissez-faire capitalism and neoliberalism.

The reality is that globalization is a positive for all players involved.  Right now, the rich countries are enjoying all the benefits without taking any of the risks and globablization does not benefit every single person anyway.  The concept is that if country A can make everything cheaper than country B, both countries can benefit by letting each do what it does best.  A may pay more to B for some things than they could make it themselves for, but A will make more money by selling other products to B.  B makes money, both by selling its goods and by purchasing A's products.  The down side is that each country must focus on its specialty and re-deploy resources from industries where it doesn't have a significant advantage.  That means that you really shouldn't be making clothes or growing wheat in N. America or Europe.  That is something that can be done better in S. America and Africa, freeing up American and European capital and labor to focus on industries where it has an overwhelming advantage.  But if you are a farmer or work in a clothing factory, you probably see if differently.

Although many people don't see it this way it seems to me that globalization isn't something new. It's been around since as far back as Alexander the great. He tried to promote one culture, one language, one set of beliefs. Globalization cannot unfortunately be analyzed by saying this is good this is bad. It is always subjective. What I might see as a pro you might see as a con and the opposite. I believe for example Coca Cola should not be sold in third world countries; they hardly have enough water to drink. The Coca Cola business man sees it differently; he sees it as a developing market. That covers only one aspect of globalization but can to a certain extent be generalized.

Globalisation is the most talked and debated issue in the contemporary world. It is a concept that escapes precise definition. In most cases, it is described rather than defined. However, it does not mean the same thing for all. For some, globalisation is a process of opening up economies so that trade between countries could take place freely. For them increasing globalisation has helped the expansion of opportunities for nations and benefited workers in rich and poor countries alike. Brings positive benefits for consumers, helping to increase choice, drive down prices, improve services and create new jobs and opportunities. Globalisation can therefore be seen as a positive force for change that has the potential to raise living standards and drive economies forward.\n\nHowever, this is not readily acceptable for all. Many think globalisation as the concerted strategy of the industrial world, particularly of the Multinational Corporations, to safeguard their interest and spur a new form of colonisation. After opening of our market, our country will become a supermarket of foreign goods, which are cheaper, killing our local industries, increasing many more jobless. For them, globalisation means increasing poverty and deteriorating living standard of the workers, widening disparity between the rich and the poor within the country and also among the countries, and internationalisation of capital to the detriment of labour market. Even for the moderates, globalisation is a process of restructuring the world economy to find ways for business to maximise profits.\n\nThe IMF, the World Bank and the WTO and more generally, the high income countries are held responsible for influencing and largely determining the course of the globalisation process. They are also seen as the driving forces behind the policy reforms that the developing countries had to implement as part of their structural adjustment programs under the supervision of the IMF, the World Bank and the WTO. It is obvious that those countries and organisations will only foster their own interests. Globalization has become an unstoppable phenomenon affecting all aspects of our lives. Some Governments, political parties and trade unions often view this development as at best challenging and at worst sinister. Business and their representative organisations, on the other hand, promote the benefits of open trade across political boundaries and the integration of markets to create global opportunities.\n\nGlobalization is a process of increasing economic and non-economic linkages across the world. In the broadest sense Globalization implies integration of economies and societies across the globe. It is equated with the massive, irresistible cross-border flow and integration in the movement of goods, technology, labour and capital, resulting mainly from breakthroughs in transportation and communication. In a wider perspective, Globalisation, covers, various activities such as cultural globalisation, political globalisation, ecological globalisation, economic globalization and so on. But Here I am only discussing about economic globalisation. Economic globalisation implies increasing global inter-linkages of the markets in goods, services, capital and financing. Such a process has speeded up in the recent decade. The contributory factors for rapid economic globalisation are liberalisation, deregulation, privatisation, and declining costs of transport and communication.\n\nThe micro-electronics revolution has irrevocably changed the essence of human contact to earth. Distances are shrinking and information is spreading faster than ever before. The internet and World Wide Web have helped this process. Perhaps the most important catalyst for globalization is the spread of information and communications technology (ICT). Through the magic of ICT, it is now possible to instantly access useful information through the Internet and the latest computer technology.\n\nWhile talking about gl

There has been an increase in globalization in the United States as well as in rest of the world. This has resulted in many good things as well a lot of economic dislocation and unemployment.  It is not completely evil as you seem to assume. Read Thomas Friedman's "The Lexus and the Olive Tree".\n\ncc

Yes that is imperialistic, and they force their views and lifestyles on others so that everyone comes to value capitalism and markets and consumerism. This means that spending and buying is encouraged, which means more profits for the multinationals. And the MNCs are in cahoots with the government. HOWEVER, one shouldn't lump together all democratic societies... In the previous century many European countries were colonizing the rest of the world but now it is mainly America which is the imperial power. While there are many factors behind America's imperialism, the main factor is profits, since the American government is run by power elites more than common people.
