"double edge " summary (final draft)

  Globalization is an on-going and inevitable occurrence for the world today. It is considered as a double-edged sword as it brought about both positive and negative effects for the world. Positively looking, globalization has brought prosperity to many countries such as China, India and many other developing countries by encouraging global trade. A global village has formed as people all over the world are better connected to one another and world news is also spreading faster than ever. However, there are also negative effects caused by globalization. One major problem will be the environmental damage done in the course of globalization. Deforestation for crops growing accounts for one fifth of the global carbon emission; while the burning of coals for industries in developing countries causes serious air pollution. Global warming has worsened due to the emission of greenhouse gases, and this may affect not just the global economy, but also causing social disruption.
  Willingness is the key to resolve these problems. Record shows that with the willingness of countries and effective global governance, many environmental problems can be prevented or eliminated. With the help of technology, as well as the combined effort of the world’s authority, challenges brought about by globalization can definitely be resolved.
