Globalisation
Have a look at the clothes you're wearing today.
00:00:00
What do you think they have been produced?
00:00:04
What about the electronic device you're using just now?
00:00:07
Where has it been manufactured?
00:00:11
And what about the food that you eat?
00:00:13
Where has it been grown?
00:00:16
If you think about it for a minute, you'll see that many of the products that you use
00:00:18
come from abroad, from very distant parts of the world.
00:00:24
They travel many thousands of kilometers to find you before you buy them.
00:00:28
And this does not only happen with products, it also happens with services, because you
00:00:36
can see online films or TV series that have been produced in a very distant place.
00:00:41
Of course, nations have always been in contact through trade, but in the last decades, the
00:00:51
interconnection between different parts of the world has been so intense due to the
00:00:58
increase in the efficiency of transport and communications that we really live in a different
00:01:03
era, in an interconnected world where we are all interdependent.
00:01:09
This process of growing interconnection and interdependency is what we call globalization.
00:01:16
Is globalization a positive or a negative phenomenon?
00:01:24
Globalization has obvious benefits.
00:01:30
For example, it increases prosperity because it fosters trade and economic growth, but
00:01:32
it also has drawbacks.
00:01:40
For example, economic growth has not been the same in every country in the world.
00:01:42
Rich countries benefit a lot from globalization, much more than poor countries.
00:01:48
So even though every country in the world can grow because of globalization, some of
00:01:53
them grow more than others and inequalities increase.
00:01:59
Another problem of globalization is the cultural homogenization of the world.
00:02:05
This means that today, different parts of the world have lost diversity and they have
00:02:12
similar ways of living.
00:02:20
For example, the way we dress, the kind of music we listen to, or the films we watch
00:02:22
are very similar everywhere in the world.
00:02:29
That didn't happen in the past, so we have lost a rich diversity of ways of living because
00:02:32
of globalization.
00:02:38
In the process of globalization, media play a key role.
00:02:42
In the past, people learned about what happened in the world through newspapers, listening
00:02:47
to the radio, or watching TV.
00:02:53
But today, social networks play a key role in the dissemination of news.
00:02:55
This is also positive and negative at the same time.
00:03:04
The use of social networks and the democratization of information makes it possible for any citizen
00:03:10
to become a journalist and to broadcast online what is happening in their neighborhood or
00:03:17
in the city.
00:03:23
For example, they can protest against violations of human rights, but it also makes possible
00:03:24
to spread content that violates human rights and that doesn't respect minorities.
00:03:31
As you are very well aware of, fake news are a very important issue today.
00:03:37
They appear in social networks and also in traditional media sometimes.
00:03:44
So what should we do about this?
00:03:50
From an ethical point of view, media should be subject to some rules in order to grant
00:03:56
that they are truthful, that they don't spread lies.
00:04:05
Of course, there are legal limits to what media can do, because the law forbids telling
00:04:10
lies and punishes people who spread information that is incorrect.
00:04:17
But beyond legal limits, there should also be ethical limits, meaning that people should
00:04:24
morally take into account what is right and what is not right to do.
00:04:31
Moreover, citizens should exercise their responsibility while using social networks, being aware that
00:04:37
what they do has real impact on the life of other people and on our world.
