Even though globalization affects the world’s economies in a positive way, its negative side should not be forgotten. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of globalization.
In the present age, globalization is playing an increasingly important role in our lives. But in the meantime whether it is a blessing or a curse has sparked a heated debate. Some people argue that globalization has a fundamentally beneficial influence on our lives, while many others contend that it has a detrimental effect as well.
A convincing argument can be made about globalization is that it not only plays a pivotal role in the development of technology and economy, but also promotes the cultural exchange between different countries. To start with, it is the globalization that impelled many corporate to become an international group, thereby making a contribution to the local technology and employment. Specifically, when a multinational group establish a factory in a developing country, the new equipment, the new management skills and the job vacancies are all in the best interest of the local society. Moreover, people worldwide can get to know each other better through globalization. It is easy to see that more and more Hollywood blockbusters show cultures different from American, some recent examples are ‘Kungfu Panda’ and ‘The Mummy’.
Admittedly, profit-driven globalization has severely affected young people. Today, in the metropolises in different countries, it is very common to see teenagers wearing NIKE T-shirts and Adidas footwear, playing Hip-Hop music on Apple iPods and eating at KFC. The culture that took a thousand years to form just seems similar in these cities; it looks like you can only distinguish them by their language. Meanwhile, in some developing countries, sweat workshops are always a concerning issue. For instance, reports show that some teenagers employed by NIKE’s contractors work in smelly factories over 14 hours a day, but are only paid fifty cents per hour.
在调查中我们注意到大多数同学都比较注重工艺品的价格，点面氛围及服务。In summary, I would concede that globalization does come with some adverse effects. Despite that fact, benefits created by it far outweigh the disadvantages. Overall, I am convinced that we should further promote globalization and meanwhile the local government should take measures to combat cultural assimilation and sweat workshops.

体现市民生活质量状况的指标---恩格尔系数，上海也从1995年的53.4%下降到了2003年的37.2%，虽然与恩格尔系数多在20%以下的发达国家相比仍有差距，但按照联合国粮农组织的划分，表明上海消费已开始进入富裕状态（联合国粮农组织曾依据恩格尔系数，将恩格尔系数在40%-50%定为小康水平的消费，20%-40%定为富裕状态的消费）。Increasing the price of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and pollution problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree? What other measures do you think might be effective?
