8. Global Challenges facing Humanity

9. How have these global challenges got created?

11. What is Globalization?
Free movement of goods, services, people, capital, technology and information from one country to another country on international level.
Globalization is usually referred to be driven by a combination of economic, technology, socio-cultural, political and biological factors.
Globalization could also be referred to the global spread of ideas and language.

12. Yesterday’s Globalism…….
‘One –size fits-all’ big companies would often migrate….
Something that was a hit in the U.S. or Europe , by tweaking the language and advertising

13. Today’s Globalism…. Things have changed….
No company can safely assume there will be viable foreign markets for an existing product.
Any company seeking to expand globally needs to ask if its offerings are culturally and socially appropriate for its targeted markets.

14. Globalization …..
Much like fire: Fire by itself is neither good nor bad
Used properly—it can cook food, sterilize equipment, form iron, heat our homes and so on….
Used carelessly – it can destroy lives, homes, towns, forests-----in an instant

15. Good side of Globalization

Creation of new jobs
Increased International trade : FDI/FII
Increase in the variety of goods & services available to consumers

What is the Debate?

17. The Debate
Is globalization a force for economic growth, prosperity, and democratic freedom?
Is it the dominance of developed countries in decision-making, at the expense of poorer, less powerful nations?

18. The Debate
Is it a force for environmental devastation, exploitation of the developing world, and suppression of human rights
Does globalization only benefit the rich or can the poor take advantage of it to improve their well-being?

19. Bad side of Globalization
Countries integrating with developed economies have faster growth rate (China, India, Bangladesh, Philippines, Brazil, Costa Rica, Thailand)
Countries unable to increase their integration have contracted economies and growth in poverty (negative growth: Sub Saharan African countries )
Unequal global consumption pattern
Inequality among classes : Nearly one billion people live in slums. 2.5 billion people-nearly half the population of the developing world- live without adequate sanitation.
