1
Globalisation is a widely discussed topic it is therefore not all
2
that easy to explain such a complicated term in simple words
3
let's start from the beginning with the background to globalization advances in technology such as mobile phones airplanes telephones
4
and the internet have made the growth of transport
5
and communication networks possible amongst other things this means that people
6
and countries can exchange information and goods more quickly
7
and in a less complicated way this process is called globalization globalization comes from globe
8
and means the worldwide coming together of countries and nations let's look at an example
9
Companies used to manufacture products in their home countries, just like the companies ProfiTV and SuperColor, who produce televisions in country A.
10
Their products are in direct competition with each other, but both companies pay the same salaries and production costs.
11
They have the same customers, use similar suppliers and sell televisions at similar prices.
12
In short, the same conditions apply to both companies.
13
So far, so good.
14
Due to technical, cultural and economic developments that have come about through globalisation, other companies, which manufacture products under different conditions,
15
can now offer their products in country A too.
16
That's why a company from country B can sell televisions here at a lower price, because they were produced for less.
17
The local firms Supercolour and ProfiTV have to react to withstand the competition.
18
And so the world grows closer together, and there is an active exchange of goods between countries.
19
More affordable products are available for more people.
20
However, not only does an exchange of products and economic goods take place, but also of services, knowledge, cultural goods and even languages.
21
All of these individual elements are closely linked and influence each other.
22
But where there is light, there is also shadow.
23
Because of globalization and this intense exchange of goods, people and the environment often suffer.
24
If a company decides to move production to an economically disadvantaged country, people in industrialized countries lose their jobs.
25
At the same time, job opportunities open up to many locals in the economically disadvantaged country.
26
Many people in these countries work for very little money in comparison to those in industrialised countries.
27
Therefore, they often remain poor and more often than not, do not have sufficient insurance, social insurance or health insurance cover.
28
A further disadvantage of globalisation is ecological problems such as climate change.
29
The use of aeroplanes, ships and lorries to transport goods over international borders is constantly on the increase.
30
This causes more carbon dioxide to be released into the atmosphere, which, in turn, is the main cause of global warming.
31
Even national environmental standards are ignored.
32
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.
33
There are therefore many sides to globalization which affect almost all aspects of life,
34
causing me to think that the chain of positive and negative effects will continue to grow further.
35
What's important is to realise that globalisation itself is neither good nor bad.
36
It just depends how people deal with all the new possibilities in the future.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
