From the late 1980s to early 1990s, the financial and investment market’s gradually growing scope started to across national borders. In consequence, the original appearance of what so-called ‘globalisation’ became a new business method as well as a practical solution to run the financial market. According to Collins (Guardian 2002), globalisation is a ‘result of deregulation and improved communications’. Many agreements on trade, co-operative development programme have been signed between a country and other ones. Many new laws have been issued to follow the current trend of the world. Modern information technology has made our communications faster. It is widely believed that globalisation is an effective remedy to improve the life quality and to reduce poverty. However, contrary to popular beliefs, some people argue that it is generally unfair and its negative effects widen the gap between rich and poor worldwide. This essay will cautiously examine two sides of its main effects on some certain areas, and then particularly consider how far it impacts on my subject - business and economics- positively.

Global mass media has been changing in recent years. Invention of new media modes including wikis, text messaging, videoblogs and so forth help us communicate with someone all over the world more quickly and economically. These means of communication moreover provide a new service to meet higher need of entertainment. Nokia mobiles’ the Comes With Music service is a typical example to describe how the other countries can receive benefits from a country in the global media status. Comes With Music service is a involvement of four leading record labels: Nokia, Universal Music, Sony BMG and Warner Music. Nokia will launch the handset accompanied this service in the United Kingdom in November and in France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain, plus Australia and Singapore, and some developing countries next year (Financial Times 2008). This means that the benefits of global media are allocated in other countries. Nevertheless, a threat of controlling a media world is possibly occurred in fast integrated countries. Many media forms are produced in developing or imported countries but its various prices are decided by multinational companies. The content of media changed by powerful corporation will also limit locally cultural expression. Two aspects of global media are a result of a continuous development of technology to communicate everyone in international transactions.

Diversified culture is a part of international integration process. European people can eat the tropical fruits such as durian, blue dragon, litchis in their countries where they cannot be grown or are difficult to grow. For another example, a language diversification is obviously seen in London where there are a lot of immigrants in the world. Some local words and traditional values are disappeared from cultural integration. Nowadays young Chinese people often live with their children in their own house rather than with their parents in a big one. A full of sexual, materialistic lifestyle formed in their thinking is effected by Western culture and by the complexity of many other factors (Reith lectures BBC 1999). Cultural diversification is actually happening and progressively replacing the specific culture of a country.

In terms of politics, some international organisations have been established to link each country’s politics closer. Group Seven (G7), European Nations (EU) and World Trade Organisation (WTO) are the pattern organisations. A standard and common rule is built and applied for all member countries to solve both political and economic problems. A member country with an unstable politics will be supported dramatically by other countries. For instance, strategic management policy is appropriately reformed and implied to reason and sentiment to adapt the world’s political environment. On the other hand, the dark side of this aid is an extensive intervention on weak political countries such as Iraq’s situation. The United States’ political power has governed some countries in a wide and deep way. This leads to a number of problems on a flood of immigration, grey matter, stagnating economic development in some countries with political weakness. Therefore, the closer political relationship is, the more seriously problem arises.

Political instability is one of many leading reasons to decide how much the volume of capital is invested in a country. Liberalization of capital flows has affected the development of international business and world economics in recent years. Trade liberalisation and world economics have changed in both negatively and positively. In global trade, cheap working force is the most benefit for investors. In order to produce a good quality commodity with a competitive price, many multinational groups choose countries in which they can find low labour-cost, firmly political environment and abundant resources. With the same product, the labour force in Vietnam, Singapore, China is extremely much cheaper than it in United Kingdom. As a result, a large number of multinational companies as foreign branches are established in these cheap-cost countries to do international business. Since 1955, world trade including export, import, manufacture in domestic has significantly increased more than 100 times (from $95 billion to $12 trillion) (BBC News 2007). Furthermore, the annual economic growth rate among trade liberalizers has remarkably increased and is faster than it in non-globalising countries (Dollar and Kraay 2001b). In consequence, some developing countries such as China, India have become emergent economies with a very strong growth and are prospective markets for investors.

However, there is a steady decline in growth from a high of 4.7 percent in 1960s to 2.2 percent in 1990s in rich countries (IMF 2001). Globalisation’s unfairly benefit distribution in each country has increased the gap between the rich and poor countries. According to ASEAN‘s report in their Ninth Summit in Bali, 1.2 billion people in the world live less than 1USD a day (ASEAN 2003). In addition, high inflation, low interest rate, low wages for workers are ominous signs of a weak economy from globalisation process. In generally, business and economics which are two sensitive aspects evidently describe the advantage and disadvantage effects of globalisation.


In conclusion, the international integration is key condition to encourage the national development of media, culture, politics, especially business and economics. Important aspects of national economy have been changing manifestly as a result of trade liberalisation. Although it is an effective way to follow the modern world’s global trend, globalisation still has some negative influences. A lot of studies of its negative effects are not still comprehensive research on detailed solutions to eliminate or limit them. A prospective investigation on that issue might be very practical for poor and developing countries. In the mean while, a selectively strategic integration method seems to be very important to widely open the economy to the world.

This essay will cautiously examine two sides of its main effects on some certain areas, and then particularly consider how far it impacts on my subject - business and economics- positively.

The kind of global mass media has been changing in recent years. It is a result of a continuous development of technology to communicate everyone all over the world in international transactions. Communication is made with a cheaper cost by telephone, email, fax faster than before and even conducted visually to share the vital information by internet. Nevertheless, a threat of controlling a world media is possibly occurred in fast integrated countries. Many new communicated means is produced with various price by international companies when those countries open the market. The content of media also changed by powerful corporation will limit locally cultural expression.

Diversified culture is happening and progressively replacing the simple culture in one country. A European people can eat the tropical fruits such as durian, blue dragon, litchis in their countries where they cannot be grown or difficult to grow. For example, everything can be found in London with a lot of immigrants in the world. A diversification of language is obviously seen in London. However, some local words and traditional values are disappeared from cultural integration. Nowadays young people often live with their children in their own house rather than with their parents in a big one. A full of sexual, materialistic lifestyle formed in their thinking is effected by Western culture and by the complexity of many other factors.

In terms of politics, some international organisations have been established to link each country’s politics closer. G7, European Nations (EU) and World Trade Organisation (WTO) are the pattern examples. A standard rules is built in such an organisation to apply for all member countries. Moreover, the unstable politics of one country will be supported dramatically by other countries. Strategic management policy is reformed and implied conformably to reason and sentiment to adapt the world’s political environment. On the other hand, the dark side of this aid is the deeply intervention in weak political countries. The United States’ political power has governed some countries in wide and deep way. This leads to a number of serious problems on many aspects in the world’s market.

Features of academic writing

http://www.uefap.com/writing/feature/complex.htm

The following features are common in academic written texts:
Subordinate (less important) clauses/embedding: Relative clause
Complement clauses: that+clauses, to+clauses, of+ing+clauses
Sequences of prepositional phrases: preposition is used commonly.
Participles:
Formal written English uses verbs less than spoken English. -ed and -ing participles allow verbs to be used nominally or adjectively.
Passive verbs,
Lexical density: specialized pattern of words, using phrase more than clause
Lexical complexity: affixes, refixes, noun, verb
e.g:
noun + prefix=noun (hyperinflation)
verb + prefix=verb (rewrite)
verb + suffix=noun (demonstration)
adjective + suffix= verb (specialise)
adjective + suffix=noun (darkness)
verb/ noun + suffix=adjective (attractive, homeless)
adjctive + negative (prefix) = adjective (uncomfortable)
both prefix and suffix: unimaginative
Nominalisation:
of, -tion (suffix) are used commonly
Noun-based phrases: prefer noun to verb in academic writing
Modification of noun-phrases:
premodifier + noun:
adjective - the constitutional aspects, the important role
ed-participle - a balanced budget, the emitted light
ing-participle - growing problem, existing structures
noun - market forces, cabinet appointments

noun + post modifier:

relative clause - students who have no previous experience
to-clauses - the solution to the problem of inflation, the question to be debated
ing-clauses - a brake consisting of a drum divided into twelve compartments
ed-clauses - canoes preserved by a hard plaster,
prepositional phrase - we need to bring to the box a special tool with a ready-compressed spring
adverb (phrase) - the road back, the people outside
