Globalization

Globalization

Globalization refers to the increasingly global relationships of culture, people and economic activity. Most often, it refers to economics: the global distribution of the production of goods and services, through reduction of barriers to international trade such as tariffs, export fees, and import quotas.

Globalization has a positive impact on the Portuguese population, because foreign companies come to Portugal and they bring a lot of new jobs in terms of employment. Some examples  of that is Mc.Donalds, a company that came from America and now employs thousands of people all over the world, other example is the textile factories from China that ruined Portuguese factories all over the country because their textiles are cheaper than ours.

About culture, Globalization helps spreading cultures, languages, food habit, everything, and America is the most influent country in the world, the music we listen and very other habits come from America, examples fast foods, Indian food habits, American music etc.

We can conclude that the world spins around Globalization,  and every one does every day something from other culture without realizing it, because we are so used to it that we don’t even question where that come from.
