Week 5- E Learning Week Summary on Globalisation

Article A- Runaway Globalization Without Governance

Globalisation originated since ancient history.  Government regulations are however delayed in worldwide connections, resulting in harmful wars and ruling of people. Globalisation increased  trade, causing environmental and health problems without governance.  The increased trade also spread plague, causing numerous deaths. Traders were threatened by pirates, taxes and religious beliefs. Economically, monopolization and copyright infringements of goods occur. Advancement of transportation and communications expanded trade routes, but time management and space constraints posed as a problem. Most importantly, globalization led to a global threat of nuclear weapons spreading amongst countries. Massive industrialization deteriorated the environment. Even with the Kyoto Protocol in place to reduce the impact, refusal of adherence and cooperation by the US nullified the effects of the agreement. The US is gradually stepping down from its responsibilities as a global leader, risking the globalised world in facing its increasing challenges. All in all, globalization brings more harm than good without proper governance
