COMPREHENSION QUESTIONS
Organize yourselves into groups five or six members and check your understanding of
the input by answering the following questions .

1. In what specific ways does globalization affect communication?

- Global communication is directly affected by the process of globalization
also contributed to the increase in speed of transportation of products
- Helps to increase business opportunities, remove cultural barriers and
develop a global village.
- Both globalization and global communication have changed the
environmental, cultural, political and economic elements of the world.

2. What are the things that people do now which could not be done before globalization
> Trade , There is a global trade network that makes just about anything
produced in the world accessible to you.
> Travel, There is a global travel network where you can be nearly anywhere
in the world by tomorrow.
> Information , The internet is a global information network that makes just
about all information in the world accessible to you.
> Peace: We live in a world that is very peaceful compared to any previous
period of time in history because of globalization. In the past, war was seen as
a good way to obtain wealth for your country. Now, no country has to go to
war in order to obtain necessary resources. Diplomacy and negotiation has
replaced war for those who choose peace.
3 . Are the effect of globalization on communication positive or negative? Support your
answers with concrete example. Some argue that globalization is a positive development
as it will give rise to new industries and more jobs in developing countries. Others say
globalization is negative in that it will force poorer countries of the world to do whatever
the big developed countries tell them to do Example including Canada, are the ones who
may lose out because they are involved in outsourcing many of the manufacturing jobs
that used to be done by their own citizens. Outsourcing refers to obtaining goods by
contract from outside sources. This is why you may find many of your clothes with labels
from developing countries such as Malaysia, China, and the Philippines, where they can
be produced at lower cost. Critics of outsourcing feel that no one wins with this practice.
Workers in Canada and other developed countries may lose their jobs while those doing
the work in poorer countries get paid much less while working in poor conditions, What
can be done about these realities? Global trade gives Canadians access to many
products, such as fruits, that cannot be produced here. Global trade means that produce
such as bananas, mangoes, oranges and kiwi fruit are easy to find in our grocery stores.
This implies that farmers in developing countries have an opportunity to produce and
sell more goods and make a better living. Some people in developed countries, however,
feel that the wealthier countries purchasing the products also are the ones who make all
the production and trade rules that they must abide by, thus reducing their chance at
fair competition in the world market place. In addition, this forces developing countries
to produce export foods wanted by the wealthier developed countries instead of
producing local foods to feed their own populations. The development of orchards and
plantations by multinational companies in the poorer countries of the world often
means reduced land available for production of local food supplies.
