Question

What are the positive and negative effects of globalisation on agriculture and industry??????

Answer 1

Globalisation, I think, has the propensity to move jobs all over the world.

First it is the tertiary sector jobs. Most jobs in developed world will be 'Benga lured'.

After that the secondary (manufacturing) sector. Here the factories and jobs (like the shipyards) will be 'Shanghai ed'.

Then comes the turn of the primary sector, Agriculture. All the wheat and corn will be produced in Prairies (N.America), Pampas (S.America), Downs (Australia's Murray Darling basin), Steppes (Ukraine, Southern Russia, Kazakhstan & North China) and Veldts (S. Africa) because that is the most efficient production. For the same reason Rice paddys will be in Southern China, South East Asia & Peninsular India. Efficient water buffaloes for manuring the paddys that produce least amount methane will be bred.For the same reason all potatoes will be grown in Tibet and Andes' montane peneplains; Sugarcane in Indonesia, Amazonia of Brazil; Coffee in Brazil and Indonesia (where there will be 'Civet cat' farms for 'Java' coffee); entire France & California will be taken over for all wines; sheep ranches in Australia; hog farms in CentralChina; cattle ranches in Brazil, Guyana, Suriname and so on. Nowhere else these will be produced as they will be priced out of markets.

Only mining and oil drilling (if any) will be carried out where they are. Much of the bottled drinking water will be piped (transcontinental pipelines) from Canda and Russia till the St.Lawrence, Ob, Yenisey and Lena will run in these pipes.

Only shipping will thrive because of all kinds of raw materials, minerals, ores, petro products, ethanol, produce, factory products, parts, spares, containers need to be transported. Pirates will not be seen as they are beamed out of existence from satellites.

You may call it positive or negative, I am neutral.

I'll stop here as I'm tired.

Answer 2

Possibly, a one world government could engineer famines, such as is happening in Zimbabwe to bring nations into line with monetary and sociopolitical subjugation.

The positive could be a stable price and distribution system.  However, the only reasons corporation do anything, good or bad, is for their own gain

Pro's:

--------

NARRATOR: In a remote Indian village, farmers took their crop to market as they had for generations, But an Internet connection ensured they were now paid the world price for their crop, a price set at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange 8,000 miles away.

Con's:

---------

JEFFREY SACHS: It is an incredible moral problem how to live together with this vast gap in wealth. It's also an incredible intellectual problem. It's what development economists such as myself spend all our time thinking about. Why is the gap so large? What can be done to help the poorer countries narrow the gap? It's a very tough question.

NARRATOR: Places like Merelani, in Northern Tanzania, are the bottom end of the global economy. Miners hunt for gemstones -- tanzanite -- that will eventually sell for over $1,000 per stone.

Some mines are too narrow for grown men to navigate. Those mines are left to children as young as 10, known as "snake kids." For each stone, they receive less than one dollar.

Answer 4

Prices should drop as goods are made by the most efficient producers. These producers will be making vast quantities using modern methods and this should help consumers.

On the down side, the producers may not be in your locality or country. Change may mean local workers losing their jobs, You may also lose control over how these goods are produced - your food may be genetically engineered, or goods produced under bad conditions. In times of food shortage or political, your country may not even have food deliveries.

Answer 5

Effects of globalization

Globalization has various aspects which affect the world in several different ways such as:

Industrial (alias trans nationalization) - emergence of worldwide production markets and broader access to a range of foreign products for consumers and companies

Financial - emergence of worldwide financial markets and better access to external financing for corporate, national and subnational borrowers

Economic - realization of a global common market, based on the freedom of exchange of goods and capital.

Political - political globalization is the creation of a world government which regulates the relationships among nations and guarantees the rights arising from social and economic globalization. [10] Politically, the United States has enjoyed a position of power among the world powers; in part because of its strong and wealthy economy. With the influence of Globalization and with the help of The United States’ own economy, the People's Republic of China has experienced some tremendous growth within the past decade. If China continues to grow at the rate projected by the trends, then it is very likely that in the next twenty years, there will be a major reallocation of power among the world leaders. China will have enough wealth, industry, and technology to rival the United States for the position of leading world power. [11] The European Union, Russian Federation and India are among the other already-established world powers which may have the ability to influence future world politics.

Informational - increase in information flows between geographically remote locations

Cultural - growth of cross-cultural contacts; advent of new categories of consciousness and identities such as Globalism - which embodies cultural diffusion, the desire to consume and enjoy foreign products and ideas, adopt new technology and practices, and participate in a "world culture"; loss of languages (and corresponding loss of ideas), also see Transformation of culture

Ecological- the advent of global environmental challenges that can not be solved without international cooperation, such as climate change, cross-boundary water and air pollution, over-fishing of the ocean, and the spread of invasive species. Many factories are built in developing countries where they can pollute freely.

Social - increased circulation by people of all nations with fewer restrictions

Transportation - fewer and fewer European cars on European roads each year (the same can also be said about American cars on American roads) and the death of distance through the incorporation of technology to decrease travel time.[clarify]

International cultural exchange

Spreading of multiculturalism, and better individual access to cultural diversity (e.g. through the export of Hollywood and Bollywood movies). However, the imported culture can easily supplant the local culture, causing reduction in diversity through hybridization or even assimilation. The most prominent form of this is Westernization, but Sinicization of cultures has taken place over most of Asia for many centuries.

Greater international travel and tourism

Greater immigration, including illegal immigration

Spread of local consumer products (e.g. food) to other countries (often adapted to their culture)

World-wide fads and pop culture such as Pokémon, Sudoku, Numa Numa, Origami, Idol series, YouTube, Orkut, Facebook, and MySpace.

World-wide sporting events such as FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games.

Formation or development of a set of universal values

Technical

Development of a global telecommunications infrastructure and greater transborder data flow, using such technologies as the Internet, communication satellites, submarine fiber optic cable, and wireless telephones

Increase in the number of standards applied globally; e.g. copyright laws, patents and world trade agreements.

Legal/Ethical

The push by many advocates for an international criminal court and international justice movements.

Crime importation and raising awareness of global crime-fighting efforts and cooperation.

Sexual awareness – It is often easy to only focus on the economic aspects of Globalization. This term also has strong social meanings behind it. Globalization can also mean a cultural interaction between different countries. Globalization may also have social effects such changes in sexual inequality, and to this issue brought about a greater awareness of the different (often more brutal) types of gender discrimination throughout the world. For example, Women and girls in African countries have long been subjected to female circumcision- such a harmful procedure has been since exposed to the world, and the practice is now decreasing in occurrence.
