Globalisation? I think that there is no one out there who does not know what globalisation means. Globalisaton affects our everyday life. You can `find`Globalisation when you take a look at your clothes, food, social networks and so on..
You can find a lot of positive aspects and chances in connection with this topic. Like for example the fact that you can stay in contact or find new contacts because you can chat with people all over the world - it does not matter if those people live in an another country or even on a complete different continent. You can stay in touch. Distances are shrinking and all information is spreading faster than ever before.

People from around the world for example live in Germany and they bring their culture with them like for example food or music. Because of that it is possible for us to experience other cultures and learn new things about them. This is amazing and should continue in the future.
What should NOT be part of our future is global warming which brings me to the `dark`side of globalisation.
Because I want my readers to know about the good but also negative aspects linked with this topic I want to continue with Challenges.

I have the feeling that when it comes to global warming, a lot of people do not see it as a thing that will affect them in the nearer future because they are either dead or because they are for example in higher positions or rich. But global warming affects us all and we should do something to stop this problem.
Another fact that is interesting for me when taking a look at the negative side is poverty. The gap between the rich and poor people is rising and rising. Poor people often do not have any access to basic health care or food and clothes.
From my point of view I want everybody to know that they are part of the whole thing and that they can not talk their way out!

Hello there, internet people!
The concept of globalisation was made for all of us to enjoy and be beneficial.
It’s great that people all over the globe have the opportunity to share information, news and knowledge so that we’re always up to date. Isn’t it also just fascinating how we can increase our economic growth by partnering up with other nations? Organisations like the United Nations and the European Union help nations with a lower economic status to keep up!
Lower income people in countries like Germany and the US get to enjoy materialistic goods resulting in less societal exclusion for them.
We also get to eat, more or less authentic, ethnic food from all over the world and therefore get to know more cultures.

People who do not get to enjoy the privilege of living in industrial countries like we do, get exploited for our comfort.
The ressources and workforce of developing countries keep getting outsourced by global players for us to enjoy cheap goods (such as clothes) and energy.
Since we profit off those countries, the international gap between rich and poor widens even more resulting in more poverty.

Another widely overlooked problem of globalisation are obviously environmental consequences.
Traveling is easier and cheaper than it ever has been before, which was enabled due to globalisation. Ex- & Transport is one of the biggest factors for climate change, which is, again, caused by cheap production labour in order to maximize profit (We are noticing a pattern there, right?) and additionally results in a lot of waste and pollution.
Globalisation is too big of a topic to cover everything about it in one blogpost, but I hope you now have a more differentiated view on this whole topic.
What do you think of all of this? Make sure to let me know in the comments! I love spewing my thoughts online, but I love your reactions on my thoughts even more!

…. Right?
It caters to our needs perfectly, there cannot be anything bad about it, right?
WRONG.
If you would like to have a little bit more input, I will link you a YouTube video here about Fast Fashion (specifically SheIn), since I am personally really interested in sustainable fashion and consumption and this brand is everything going wrong with Global Marketing and Late Stage Globalisation in Fashion.
If you think fast fashion is bad, check out SHEIN - YouTube

Hate to burst your bubble but globalization has, arguably, more extensive negative than positive traits and we only get to enjoy the benefits of it because we are incredibly privileged.

And here is a speech about Climate Change I recorded, also on-topic, what a coincidence! :D

Human rights for humans, right ?

Based on the lessons at school when we discussed and looked critically at globalisation, a lot of things came to my mind.
I was particularly struck by terrible working conditions, which are linked to human rights.
The poor become poorer, while the rich demand more wealth and power.

Education is one of the most effective ways to solve problems and make pople think.
