My comments on globalization

In the process of globalization, many foreign things have entered into our life and have changed our life and they have made the world become smaller and smaller. The wave of globalization involved many different aspects, such as culture, politic, education, internet, health, and especially the business and economic.There are different ideas about globalization.Most of people hold the opinion that, globalization is kind of useful, convenient,and advanced. It brings people’ life in the world to a higher level. Globalization implies the opening of local and nationalistic perspectives to a broader outlook of an interconnected and interdependent world with freetransfer of capital, goods, and services across national frontiers.For example,China's experience supports the assertion that globalization greatly increases wealth for poor countries.The rapid pace of China’s deve lopment in the last two decades should be largely attributed to the increasing integration of Chinese economy into the global economy.Whereas,there are many Anti-organizations in the worldwide.Those who oppose global governance typically do so on objections that the idea is unfeasible, inevitably oppressive, or simply unnecessary.In general, these opponents are wary of the concentration of power or wealth that such governance might represent.In my opinion, globalization is an irresistible trend, its just a symbol of improvement and revolution, its totally unescapable. In this situation, what should we do? The answer is simple. We just need to get actively involved in it,see globalization as a positive force in the world.And we Chinese should try to get as much as possible profit from it.。

以下是他当年参加第七届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛获冠军时的演讲：globalization: challenges and opportunities for chinas younger generation 全球化：中国年轻一代所面临的机遇与挑战 good morning, ladies and gentlemen.today i’m very happy to be here to share with you some of my thoughts on the topicof globalization. and first of all, i would like to mention an event in our recenthistory.正如我们今天所看到的，不同国家的环保专家们正齐心协力在全球变暖这一问题上各抒己见；经济学家们一同寻找着对付金融危机的办法，虽然这一危机只发生在一定区域，但它还是会阻碍世界经济的发展；外交官和政治家们则聚到一起探讨打击恐怖主义的问题。

和平与繁荣已成为全世界共同奋斗的目标。

如此强大趋势的“全球化”正应证了e. m. 福斯特的那句话：“但求沟通！”decision-making, ruthless expansionists in the global market place and adevastating presence to local businesses.卡尔·马克思提醒我们，资本跨越国界，便会逃离对象国政治实体的管制，这一点已成为现实。

Globalization and localization1 Well, that’s really interesting. However, in my opinion globalization brings more harms than benefits. Nowadays globalization has caught our eyes successfully and became a hot and popular term. However, Not only the word globalization has amplified over the last few years, have you notice that the term anti-globalization has appeared and is still growing in the recent few years. We can’t deny the fact that living standards of people have considerably improved through the market growth as a result of globalization. When we are celebrating the great success of globalization, have we realized that the economic growth not the only brings wealth and richness to us but also often makes our lives depressing with all kinds of stresses as the result of modern materialism. Over-consumption erodes our soul like acid, which brings us nothing but vanity. We get to wallow in luxury and our dream turn into a Gucci bag which may even costs more than 100000yuan. Moreover our city is currently ripping itself to ribbons. In a decade scores of gleaming new skyscrapers have shot up to crowd and jostle the skyline, cramp the narrow winding streets which is lined with boutiques and malls.2 Well, in my perspective, big companies with international businesses are charged of social inequality. For example, poor working conditions, Globalization elevates the inflow of non-skilled employment opportunities from the developed economies to third world in search of cheap workforce. What they think is reducing the cost to the least. They turn a blind eye towards environmental issues as it’s not their own mother country. They think that the environment of the developing country has nothing with them. The unprofessional handling of natural resources leads to much biological harm. As for me, a supporter of anti-globalization, feel that the World Trade Organization, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund are the leaders of economic globalization and they only focus on their common interests, turning a blind eye to the environment.3 Ok, that’s really hard to get the balancing point. But we have to learn to keep away from over globalization. Globalization may lead to greater risks of cultural assault. China has a long history. The Chinese traditional culture is deep and sophisticated. "Filial piety" as a good Chinese traditional ethics with thousands of years has deeply affected Chinese cultural and moral cultivation. Globalization and western culture have made a great "cultural assault" to the traditional Chinese thinking and culture. There is a growing pursuit of material culture and consumer culture and neglect of the spirit of traditional culture. Instead of Chinese traditional festivals, we focus more attention on the western festivals like Christmas. We generally lost our own culture which is the foundation of a country. That’s terrible.4 T hat’s a great opinion maybe it's hard to tell which is better but let's learn to keep a balance。

英语作文范例英语作文范例篇一：My View on Globalization With the development of economy and technology ,more and more people e to realize that the contact between countries has bee more and more closely frequent. Nowadays almost everyone knows Coca-cola,and when we want to pursue all aspects of all-around development,we can't avoid staying in contact with other countries.So globalization has bee a unstoppable trend. Different people have different point of views.Some people believe that globalization is a good thing ,because they enjoy the convenience and quality life globalization brings, whereas others argue that the developed countries are the only beneficiaries of globalization，and the developing countries in the course of globalization suffered a series of environmental pollution problems. As far as I'm concerned,we should look at both sides of globalization.Only when we seize the opportunity of development and meet the challenges can we gain the upper hand in the petition. 篇二：Drunken DrivingIt is monly known thatdrunken driving is a taboo to drivers, for alcohol can perate into people's blood, affect their brain and lead to trafficaccidents.However,many drivers today drive even when they are intoxicated, either for their personal habits or for business reasons. Drunken driving can be very disastrous.For one thing, it can bring about disasters to the victims, who are either killed or severely injured in the accidents.For another, it is harmful to the driver himself, and the driver should at least be partly responsible for it.Furthermore, drunken driving jeopardizes the security and stability of the society. There are many ways to reduce drunken driving.Firstly, there should be a provision in the law to prevent people from driving when they are drunk.Secondly, the mass media should also play a role in publicizing the hazards of drunken driving as well as in educating people to obey the traffic st but not least, the drivers should establish a strong sense of responsibility for others as well as for themselves. After all, life is the most important. 篇三：It Is Necessary to Attend Training Classes Nowadays, with the development ofthe society, it's greatly need the people who master integrated skills, so that there are a growing number of people attend training classes to master more skills to get a good job. However, whether people should attend training classes or not, the answers vary from person to person. As far as I am concerned, it is necessary to attend training classes for the following reasons.First of all, our society is developing rapidly, and the requirements for jobs have changed gradually. Previously, people can finish their job as long as they master a skill. But now, situations have changed. puter skill, language ability and knowledge about law are needed for an employee, which helps them go further in their career. Besides, when we attend the training class, we can meet many people work in other fields. It's a good time for us to know something new about other fields conveniently. And we can get more information about their fields that would be very helpful to our career. Finally, all of us should hold the idea that it's never too late to learn. Learning is the only way to keep pace with the society and attending training classes may be the most effective way. From the discussion above, we canconclude that it is necessary and worthwhile for us to attend training classes because of its great importance.篇四：A rainy day This morning, I woke up with a start: my clock was alarming. Unwillingly opened my eyes, I found it was 6:30 already.Nevertheless, the room wasvery gloomy, for it was raining outside. What a cold day! How fortable it would be if i could stay in bed for the whole day, reading a favourite book in the sound of rain. But, I did have to go to work. Though it was arush hour, on the way, there were fewer people than usual. Many people arduously held an umbrella which was always blown down by a blast of wind.(.fwsir.) Fortunately, Iwas dressed in a raincoat. Several yards away, apoliceman was guiding the traffic in the rain. I wasfilled with deep esteem for his seriousness.I keptthinking of today's plan for a short while and,then,I was in my office. A busy day is beginning ……篇五：Practice makes perfect Practice makes perfect. It means that after plenty of practice, we will beperfect  in what we do. Practice is the only way to achieve perfect. For exle, when we learn grammar, words, expressions and so on, the most important thingmay be how to put what we've learned into practice. If we only learn the grammatical rules by heart and don't do enough exercises, it is certain that we can't understand them perfectly. But if we practice a lot, maybe we will understand them more deeply and we can find some good methods of applying them. Memorize the English words whenever time permits, and we can easily memorize them and even can find a way to memorize them more quickly. There is another good exle for it. A famous singer can sing very well. Of course, his talent is very important but he also practices singing frequently, probably every day. If we want to improve our studies and work, we should remember that practice makes perfect.。
