People in the world can be friends through a globalization.

People are not sure about that where fortune cookies are come from exactly, but most Chinese restaurant serve fortune cookies after meal. Even People in India can eat fortune cookies and feel Chinese custom. This phenomenon, it is called “Globalization”. People have shared other countries culture already and many people have different opinion about globalization. Globalization is not a dangerous phenomenon. Because it gives us free trade without any taxes, and it relieves conflicts between countries.

First of all, globalization makes people trade free each other. Many countries can save their money and time to negotiation. For example, if Korea wants to import California’s oranges, Korea government have to pay taxes to them. Besides, the government wastes time to make a contract with America. The tax that Korea government has to pay to America means it also burden Korea citizens. Thus, in free trade people in the world can release from many taxes. People can get necessaries that can not get at their home from other countries easily.

Last, globalization mitigates conflicts all over the world. Many countries have had troubles with each other. According to Fontanel, “There is a new scarcity and scarcity is always a cause of conflicts.”(as cited in Altman, 2007, pg.16). Because of these conflicts, countries sometimes occur a war and so many people are suffered from it. Globalization makes the world share each culture. For example, a famous soap opera ‘Dae jang guem’ in Korea is now showing in China and Japan. Throughout the globalization many Chinese and Japanese share Korea’s culture and they can understand more about it. Like this, globalization is a good phenomenon to cultural policy. By exchanging each culture people can have respect to others. It will help the world getting together and relieving conflicts. Eventually they may feel they are ‘the one’.

Opponents who said that globalization is a dangerous phenomenon because globalization damages other developing countries. They also claimed that wealth countries compel poor countries to receive their culture and they destroy poor countries own culture. However it is not true. If many developing countries could not get some help and advanced culture, they would be in same status forever. Globalization can be a good phenomenon to every country if they just respect each other and try to understand and accept it.

In conclusion, although some opponents said that globalization profit to wealth country but globalization must be a good phenomenon. Every country can be free with every trade, also can be released with dissension. As long as people live as a human being, people can not live alone. If people are aware of this globalization is necessary to live. Globalization is an interdependence that everyone in the world should share together. Not just for wealth country but for all country in the world.
