Internationalization The Suitable Replacement for...

We live in a vastly different age from the one our parents or grandparents grew up in. Economies are immensely more complex, the youth have superlative access to information, and countries are able to interact with each other within seconds. A particular domain witnessing extreme change, in the recent era,w is the economical and commercial exchange between nations. Today, around one-third of trade occurs internationally. For example, online retailer Amazon has an annual revenue greater than the Gross Domestic Product of half of every nation in the world (McIntyre). Meanwhile, gross U.S. assets held by foreigners toward the end of 2006 amounted to $16.3 trillion. The world’s gross average output is reaching astonishing heights. As†¦show more content†¦Globalization seems to provide impressive benefits, but some benefits prove to be dubious. In India, for the year 2010, 96.9% of the population made incomes of less than $5 a day (Poverty in India). The situation is just as dire in the local provinces of China, with 71.6% of individuals making less than $5 a day (Poverty in China). In recent years, the large trade surplus that China has accumulated stimulates an urban industrial sector that no longer creates new jobs while at the same time restricting the governments ability to increase spending to improve services and address disparities(Poverty in China). Automation in the manufacturing and agriculture sectors generally follows the appearance of multinational corporations. This lessens the need for unskilled and uneducated workers thus raising unemployment levels. Globalization, in general, is insensitive to the cultural influences that surround it; the economic structure for globalization prefers to amass cultures and indigenous civilizations into a homogenous existence, in the name of equality and fair-trading. Internationalization provides countries with more options to encourage the arrival of foreign enterprises and provides more trading opportunities with other nations, according to their unique situation. In general, those who advocate internationalization are not against businesses per se; rather, they want to ensure the continuance of indigenous cultures.

We will organize our discussion of how to account for this trend around two pairs of contrasting perspectives. Much of the literature on homogenization sees it in terms of Americanization or globalization: that is, in terms of forces external to the national social and political systems in which media systems were previously rooted. Other explanations focus on changes internal to these national systems.
