Should we accept globalization?

Should we accept globalization?


 Globalization has become a hot and controversial issue. Connecting to the Internet and fast vehicles make it possible to meet other people who live across the world. At the click of a keyboard or a phone call button, people have an easy and comfortable way to interact with foreigners.  It causes globalization which makes the world becomes a global town. However, this new, fast flow is a hot controversy. Some people believe that globalization can bring world peace and it might help people understand each other’s culture. So they suggest that globalization can help people protect not only their own culture but also the other’s unique culture. They claimed that it is probably helpful for people but in my opinion, globalization destroyed diverse culture. Because it is composed by some huge developed countries, their culture can control and direct our sights. So, I think that the government of each country should make a rule to protect their cultural diversity. 


 First of all, globalization has an unfair influence. Developing countries can’t cause a huge impact for the global society. They just get another culture passively such as American culture or European culture. While they accept developed countries’ culture, their own culture disappears. However, the other countries such as developed countries’ culture have huge and diverse effects everywhere. For instance, many Asian cultures disappeared after western culture came in. In my country, South Korea was affected by American culture a lot. In early of 1980th and 1990th, everyone wanted to look like American stars. Some entertainers and professors claimed that we need to develop and protect our own cultural resources but no one was interested in doing that. developed country’s culture was new and addictive for the other countries which don’t know about new culture such as Korea. These culture changed Korean culture. Their strong flow made people think our culture was worse than the American culture. Especially, American culture is one of the most popular cultures in the world. They spread out their pop music and fast food all over the world.   Now, our children all know about Lincoln who an important president of America but they don’t know about who was our first president. Because cultural influence is hard to catch, people recognized our unique culture was vanished by them too late.


 Also, once the culture disappear or vanished, we can’t restore it again. Globalization is done too fast and it is too difficult to stop or postpone. South Korean government had mistaken about this sort of problem and it caused many trouble. In 1970, Korean Government wanted to change our meal system like American or European because they believe it is healthier than Korean traditional meal style. They also thought that Korea needed global meal system for globalization. So, they made policy which made people eat more western food. They had campaign about it and advertised it. Everyone is that age thought hamburger or French fries were better than some traditional soup because the government said that. We were poor and didn’t know what the right thing was. Also we didn’t know any other western food at that time.  However, according to research, Korean food style which based on healthy vegetables and vegetable based sources are better than the other countries’ style for Korean people’s health. The government tried to change it again but easy and fast ready-made food was hard to eliminate. Still. Korean enjoys that. Our traditional food is treated like an old fashioned thing. Of course people who know we need change are trying to change and we are changing slowly. I believe it is not too late but much of our traditional food culture is disappearing. 


 Some people think that globalization brings world peace. They believe that globalization makes possible to understand the other cultures and it give better cultural relative perspective. Some sociologists said that globalization is the first step to be  a peaceful world. By understanding other cultural features and adapting good point of them, we can build our culture more stable and sustain tradition. However, in my opinion, theory is just theory. There are a lot of variables and we can’t find all of them before we accept something. Globalization had already cause bad results on many developing countries and even some developed countries. For instance, France is known as one of the most developed countries and they are proud of their culture so the French government wants to protect their culture. French government regulates other language very strictly because of that reason. However, many teenagers in France love to copy English rather than French. They said that French is too long and hard to use. Some cultural effect is too strong and fast. We can’t resist on accepting them. And also, after we accept another culture and it replace our unique culture. It is almost impossible to return before we took it. 


 Currently, people argue about globalization effect. Some people thought it is good for every countries and it will be base of world peace. However, some people think globalization spoils our traditional culture. In my opinion, I agree with that. Globalization has bad effect for our own, traditional culture. Because it is too fast, we can’t catch that we mistake a lot. So, I suggest that each government should found some department or campaign to protect and sustain each country’s own culture and try to activate it.

Cause and effect essay-1

In Korea, there is an old saying, which is that a diligent guy lives longer than the rich guy. It means that having healthy daily routine is more important for our health and life than having a luxurious life. Recently, many people are interested in having a better life. So a lot of people try to find solution. However, it is hard. Some people spend their money and time to do expensive and useless plans. However, according to research, we can enjoy more energetic and health life by making good regular habit. Several simple and easy daily habits can change people’s life more healthy and fresh. 


The best way to have an energetic, healthy life is exercising. However, you don’t need to spend too much time exercising. We usually dream about perfect schedule but our daily life is often spoiled by our lazy behavior. For instance, people usually eat dinner in front of their favorite TV show. And after getting through eating the dinner, they just stay at the couch and wait to see another show. This sequence is very easy to imagine and it means that we usually do it every dinner time. By turning off favorite TV show, we can spend our time walking the park with your dog or talking and walking with your spouse. Walking out side makes people feel refresh. Jogging or light exercising also makes people feel better. And it can fix our tangled body tension and bone condition. According to recently research, watching TV show with lying down on the couch caused scoliosis. To quit watching TV too much time and start to find park or street nearby your home probably changes your body and mind. 


The other way to have healthy life can be explained by one word; sleep. Sleeping is very important for our life. Some people don’t like to spend their time sleeping because they think it is waste of time. However, it’s not true. For our well-organized daily life, sleeping well is the most important and necessary element. According to recently research, scientists suggested that 7-8 times sleeping per day makes people energetic and active at the day. Insomnia and stress are main reason of neurological disease included depression and neurasthenia. And irregular sleeping habits can cause lethargy and tired feeling at day life. For example, I used to go bed at 3 am every day at last quarter. I needed to do so much task and it made me gave up sleeping. As a result of that, I had a terrible fever at final exam term. It made me can’t focus on anything. So, sleeping enough time is very important for people. Time can’t be saved by that way which tangled your life cycle.  Sleeping enough gives us more effective life than life without satisfied sleeping.


Also, eating well is one of the main points of well-being life. It’s means that we don’t need to eat expensive, luxurious food. Just eating fresh vegetables and fruits give many benefits for our body. For example, one apple every morning helps prevent cancer. And mushroom and tomato have excellent efficacy about cancer. By eating healthy and fresh food such as salad and fruits, you can owe healthy and active feeling at all the day. Also, recently, people are addicted to be slim. People bought expensive tablet for their energy and didn’t eat anything. However, the doctor said that the best diet plan is eating well. You don’t need to eat expensive supplement tablet or appetite suppressant. You just eat enough vegetables as you want as and eat meat sometimes. Some people may disagree with this opinion but this diet plan is not for short term skinny figure. This kind of healthy diet plan makes our body more active. It means that our organs move more and it cause our body cycle more regularly than before. Eating healthy food equals having healthy life. 


Currently, living well is very popular topic. People want to find better way to organize their life style. Many commercials and specialists advertise very interesting and attractive products which are shown as perfect alternative solution for our healthy life and of course, they are expensive. However, Just depending on these kinds of products can’t make a good life style. Also, being rich is not the only way to live happy life. Think simpler. Just a few exercising per day, deep sleep enough time, and eating healthy food probably make people’s life enrich.
