can you see the reason

"A process of rapid economic integration driven by the liberalisation of trade, investment and capital flows and by rapid technological change."
- definition by OXFAM

"It affects the clothes we wear, the music we listen too, the food we eat, the jobs we do and the environment we live in."
- definition by OXFAM

"Before you finish eating your breakfast this morning, you've depended on half the world.... We aren't going to have peace on earth until we recognise this basic fact." - Martin Luther King

"Let ours be a time remembered for the awakening of a new reverence for life, the firm resolve to achieve sustainability, the quickening of the struggle for justice and peace, and the joyful celebration of life." - From the Earth Charter

"The only path that promises success is to embrace globalisation and become an integral part of the engine of global growth. It may not be easy, but it is the only way to support high-quality, long-term growth and unleash the innovative talents and energies of nations’ entrepreneurs on an international scale. Globalisation is an enormously powerful driver of growth. It is a challenge to be met, not a threat to be avoided - and least of all a weapon to be honed." - E@syVG's Vichar: World Connected

Globalisation of Economy

Does this seem familiar to you?
Have you seen this replicated in many ways, on television dramas, in commercials, or even in movies?
Or has this personally happened to you?

Globalisation has allowed economy of many countries to flourish, allowing better living conditions and better lives for many civilians. Indeed, countries like China and even Singapore has benefited from Globalisation. People are no longer restricted to work in their own countries for an income. Globalisation of Economy has allowed many people from around the world to have the chance to work outside of their countries. However, the world has revolved due to globalisation and a dog-eat-dog kind of society emerged. Like this man in the cartoon here, many people around the world have lost their job to a better worker who is willing to be paid lower. Problems like getting retrenched and losing jobs and statuses overnight appeared. The effect of globalisation of economy has affected most people around the world, in a good and bad way.
