Globalization is bad

· Globalization is bad as it has not taken place on an all round level. In other words only a handful of people are benefitted out of this and not the entire population (Iyall Smith 2013).

· Globalization can be negative as it is creating an identity crisis among many individuals. This is creating oneness but at the same time this is also making the cultures lose their sense of identity and their dynamism. So, this is the negative aspect of globalization.

· Globalization makes people connect with each other without fearing about the distance or the time zones between them. They can easily reach out to one another as and when needed. However this is not taking place on a fully fledged way (Baylis,, Smith and Owens 2017). Globalization can be considered bad as it is also making a distance in the deeper layers. The Globalization or the unification is taking place only at the upper levels. Even today people have not learnt to vest their just within one another. A very good example is how people meet each other across face book. It has been seen that people hardly feel the importance of connecting with some strangers who are living in some other foreign places or other foreign countries. So, it cannot be said that Globalization is taking place in a fully fledged or proper manner.

· So, it can be said that Globalization is taking place but only in the superficial levels. Efforts are to be made so that the globalization is taking place in an overall manner.

· Nationalism can be considered as a part of globalization. However one cannot say that there are no downsides off nationalism.

· Globalization is bad as it is very superficial. It does not think about the gains or the welfare of all the people at the same time. Only the handful of people belonging from the already developed countries is at an advantageous position. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. There are many counties that loot and plunder the riches of one country just for meeting its own personal goals.

· The cultures from all over the world is getting mixed with one another and the uniqueness in getting lost in this way. The local cultures are losing their rich native cultural identity.

· It can be considered bad as Globalization is also a great blow to the economy of the many places that are rich in their culture and heritage. In other words some of the greatest examples of the globalization platforms are face book, twitter, online blogs and many other such areas. So, people living in different parts of the world can easily get knowledge about all the places just with the help of a single click. For an instance the islands located in the remote regions have the chance of getting a good flow of money with the arrival of new tourists into their lands. However sue to globalization a huge amount of the information is available right from the internet and people no longer feel the urge of going into these lands. So, there is a negative impact not only on the culture but also on the financial aspects of these places.

· In order to make Globalization successful people all over the world have to be given the equal amount of respect, opportunity and a unique identity. People can come out as one global unified group. However at the same time, effort has to be taken so that none of the Global citizens are losing their self identity.

· One of the big negativities of Nationalism is the world war. The world war destroyed all the peace and prosperity that existed among nations. So, globalization in this case has led to only loot, destruction, death, racism and betrayal.
