Globalisation is a widely discussed topic it is therefore not all

that easy to explain such a complicated term in simple words

let's start from the beginning with the background to globalization advances in technology such as mobile phones airplanes telephones

and the internet have made the growth of transport

and communication networks possible amongst other things this means that people

and countries can exchange information and goods more quickly

and in a less complicated way this process is called globalization globalization comes from globe

and means the worldwide coming together of countries and nations let's look at an example

Companies used to manufacture products in their home countries, just like the companies ProfiTV and SuperColor, who produce televisions in country A.

Their products are in direct competition with each other, but both companies pay the same salaries and production costs.

They have the same customers, use similar suppliers and sell televisions at similar prices.

In short, the same conditions apply to both companies.

So far, so good.

Due to technical, cultural and economic developments that have come about through globalisation, other companies, which manufacture products under different conditions,

can now offer their products in country A too.

That's why a company from country B can sell televisions here at a lower price, because they were produced for less.

The local firms Supercolour and ProfiTV have to react to withstand the competition.

And so the world grows closer together, and there is an active exchange of goods between countries.

More affordable products are available for more people.

However, not only does an exchange of products and economic goods take place, but also of services, knowledge, cultural goods and even languages.

All of these individual elements are closely linked and influence each other.

But where there is light, there is also shadow.

Because of globalization and this intense exchange of goods, people and the environment often suffer.

If a company decides to move production to an economically disadvantaged country, people in industrialized countries lose their jobs.

At the same time, job opportunities open up to many locals in the economically disadvantaged country.

Many people in these countries work for very little money in comparison to those in industrialised countries.

Therefore, they often remain poor and more often than not, do not have sufficient insurance, social insurance or health insurance cover.

A further disadvantage of globalisation is ecological problems such as climate change.

The use of aeroplanes, ships and lorries to transport goods over international borders is constantly on the increase.

This causes more carbon dioxide to be released into the atmosphere, which, in turn, is the main cause of global warming.

Even national environmental standards are ignored.

This is a further cost factor in the worldwide international site competition, which should be kept as low as possible to be attractive for a company.

There are therefore many sides to globalization which affect almost all aspects of life,

causing me to think that the chain of positive and negative effects will continue to grow further.

What's important is to realise that globalisation itself is neither good nor bad.

It just depends how people deal with all the new possibilities in the future.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
