Hyperglobalist Perspective Analysis

Decent Essays
The hyperglobalist perspective otherwise known as the optimistic perspective, points out that globalization has brought great social and economic benefits and argue that environmental problems can be solved by the technology that created them, implying that sustainable solutions are gradually emerging. Such as pollution monitoring and restoration ecology. They further argue that today’s commercial companies sometimes pioneer rather than follow inventions and provide new insights into how the economy as well as humans and nature can peacefully and successfully co-exist (Kopnina and Blewitt, 2015) the wider implications of the hyper globalist positon is that the world will become borderless, national governments will become increasingly meaningless

    As an inhabitant of this world, we may be asked the question; “To what extent does globalization contribute to sustainable prosperity for all people.” This is a question that not many people can answer, while some will provide a vague definition of either globalization or sustainability that is off topic. This just shows how naïve we are to the world around us. As global citizens, I believe we should be more knowledgeable and have a broader understanding of events happening around the world. If people became more knowledgeable and understanding, they would see that there is more than meets the eye to these global issues, but more so that citizens would be able to help those in need and the environment stay sustainable for future generations.…

    By interpreting the author’s motivations through a Psychological Lens, it is clear that John Green’s childhood and the challenges he faced during it, show the comfort in his writing, through the concepts of protagonists, travel, and escape. When a reader reads Looking For Alaska and Paper Towns by John Green, it is evident that both books are extremely similar: not only do their protagonists have similar motives and traits, but also the concepts of travel and escape are noticeably similar between both books. These similarities show that John Green has trouble stepping out of his comfort zone and enjoys writing plots of the same sort of background. These similarities are shown just through the storylines of two books. Looking For Alaska is…

    Individualism is what many consider the backbone of American culture or American dream. I find that is actually the reason for our slow fall and demise. It has affected my life and the people around me. It does not help us as christians to become more life Jesus because as soon as we are self centered becoming like Jesus is significantly harder. Individualism is summed up in a couple different ways, all focusing around self.…

    Globalization a modern day way to describe the process in which different cultures are able to interact and learn from one another, through different ideas, items and people. Coming together to reconnect humans with the rest of the world, globalization is closely looked at and studied by those who want a clearer understanding of what it takes for people to be able to reconnect with cultures different from there’s.

    In the last few decades, globalization has increased at an exponential level. This has resulted in worldwide economical, social, political, and cultural integration, largely due to the advancements in technology made within the past few decades. Globalization has affected human lives in both positive and negative manners, but regardless of its contrasting effects, it has been a major positive contributor to economies worldwide. In America, the effects of globalization are seen through the economic growth and system of trade that allows many products to be made in other countries but sold in America. At the time, America was coming out of an economic depression that nearly destroyed the economy and left American consumers with little spending…

    Personal Statement of Melanie Ayllon Three years ago I had to decide where my focus for the next three and a half years would lie. I needed to choose between languages, science, arts or economics and law. I decided to take economics and law as part of a bilingual program (German and English) at my school. My decision was not primarily based on my interest in economics and law, but rather on the opportunity to take half of the syllabus in English. To participate in the bilingual program you could only have either Latin or economics and law as a major.…

    Globalization may help economic growth in certain countries, however in other countries it is creating harm. Globalization is creating pollution, a decrease in employment, it's making people lose their tradition, and it's making people be abused at their work. In the article The Global: Sneaker From Asia to Everywhere, it explains how pollution affects our environment. Some factories dump toxic waste into rivers or streams, which expose deadly fumes to our air. If geographers believe that the world may not have enough resources for the whole population, then why are they wasting one of our valuable resource?…

    Planet colonization is a theoretical belief that can save the human population when Earth has become too hazardous to live on. The rise of human pollution is a global crisis that causes many of the Earth’s resources to be unusable. The most compelling evidence is that there are over 7.5 billion people in the human population that need Earth’s resources. But the pollution the people have created on Earth endangers these resources. Aaron Friedman provided a public argument for his company, “Beyond Tomorrow Industries (BT),” with a solution to protect the human population.…

    Studying the complex nature of globalisation through the lens of paradigms may, to some, seem outdated. However, but by analysing globalisation this way, we see underlying structures that link seemingly unrelated aspects, thus allowing for a more robust understanding of the wider globalisation phenomena. The nature of these underlying structures is a point of ongoing contention for sociologists. Functionalists argue that although society is made up of individual actors making decisions for themselves, the move towards globalisation is society as a whole coming to a natural equilibrium, with mutual benefits for everyone. Conversely, conflict theorists see globalisation more sceptically, pointing to the exploitative nature of modern globalisation…

    (J.Campbell, 1) In an age of information overflowing it could be difficult to connect and adapt to all the new things, therefore in order for individuals to understand and interact with this interconnected world, they must embrace global perspective and viewpoints for their own sake and for the humanities sake. (J.Campbell, 1) Some believe that globalization is intrinsically “good”, others believe it is inherently “bad”, and still others assert that while it is intrinsically neither good nor bad, it can have both positive and negative effects. (J.Campbell, 4) Some view globalization as the new phenomenon driven by technologies such as satellites, cell phones and internet while others see it as an extension of ongoing processes that encompass all of human history.

    Therefore, the concept of oneness has lost. The second is the corruption and fraud from which no one has immunity. Moreover, the other side of the coin is the over-powering of information and its abuse by nations that are masters and the rest would be slaves. Thus this would results in imbalance of access to natural and human resources, global-economy and will results in fragile Eco-system. Therefore, the modern communicative technology does not truly promote a cohesive Global Village concept in its true essence as was perceived by those in favor.…
