In “The Double Edge of Globalisation”,
(Chanda, 2007), the main ideas include the global challenges that the world is
currently facing due to globalisation as well as the importance of political
power to help tackle these issues.
Globalisation spurred trading among countries
and this led to an increase in fishing, destroying of the forests and
pollution. One example is China. The use of chemicals and burning of coal to
run the export machines which supply cheap goods around the world caused both
air and water pollution.
Global warming is another issue of
globalisation. It can threaten to shrink the global economy by 20 percent and
force migrants to leave their homes in the event of a flood.
However, the benefit of globalisation can be
seen through the advances in technology in an effort to connect people around
the world. Everyone can have easy access to the latest happenings in the
world. This helps garner the sympathy and support for the people who are
suffering because of the natural disasters.
Therefore, the governments and the activists
should work together to efficiently tackle these issues.
