The advancement in technology and economy has created major changes in
modern society. One of these changes is globalization. As we know, globalization
has affected the world in many ways. First it served as the catalyst to worldwide
trading, thus allowing countries to access foreign products. Although this had
positive effects, it also posed a real threat to the merchandise of local traders.
Second, globalization affected the financial market. As a result, different countries
had more access to funds, and the exchange in national currencies dramatically
increased. Finally, globalization also led to the privatization of various facilities, such
as public health institutions. These institutions were being privatized due to the idea
that the private sector can better manage and provide health services. In
consequence, health policies become more and more of a commodity on a global
scale.

Here is the perfect system for cleaning your room. First, move all of the items that
do not have a proper place to the center of the room. Get rid of at least five things
that you have not used within the last year. Take out all of the trash, and place all of
the dirty dishes in the kitchen sink. Now find a location for each of the items you had
placed in the center of the room. For any remaining items, see if you can squeeze
them in under your bed or stuff them into the back of your closet. See, that was easy!
