Summarize the main effects of globalization and discuss to what extent they are beneficial to subject area

It is widely believed that globalization has become an important issue, which draws the general concern of the international community. Globalization in its literal sense is the process of transformation of regional things or phenomena into global ones. It can also be used to describe a process by which the people of the world are unified into a single society and function together. The effect of globalization is all-pervasive, for example, international politics, economics, technologies and cultural exchanges. Whether it brings advantages or disadvantages to the world has become a hot topic. Supporters contend that globalization make positive impacts, which are far outweigh the disadvantages .On the other hand, critics think sometimes international integration is unequal . According to Williamson (1998) "Globalization leads to increase the gap between poor and rich.” In this essay, I will observe the positive and negative effects of globalization in different areas, such as international trade, people's daily life, and the peace of the world, after which I will discuss the benefits it brings to my subject area— management.


Globalization makes it possible to carry out international trade between different countries, by which they can reasonably make use of resources and exert their competitive advantages to maximum benefits for all stakeholders. Furthermore, it is meaningful to both domestic market and global market—products can be easily transferred between different locations. Due to this overall resources and benefits in market can be satisfied as much as possible from the global point of view. Goods and services, labor force, capital management have obtained positive effects by globalization. Another profit is that locations of raw material and final product can be more easily transported between each area and therefore closer. This is even obviously beneficial to large overseas companies, which may hold many branches located in different countries. Thanks to globalization, they have more freedom to set their factories in countries with cheaper labor and sell products in other markets. One of the examples is Nike. It used to built factories mainly in China before and put the products in Europe and America. However, because labor is becoming more expensive in China, such factories are gradually being transferred to like Indonesia, Vietnam etc. This leads to many unemployed in the last cooperate country . Oppositely China is involved in this international market more as purchaser. It can be obviously found that open market due to globalization brings more welfare and flexibility to all stakeholders because of free trade. Critics of globalization have argued that the process has exploited people in developing countries, caused massive disruptions to their lives and produced few benefits in return. ” For many of the poorest least-developed countries the problem is not that they are being impoverished by globalization, but that they are in danger of being largely excluded from it.” (Pre- sessional academic English course, page53)


Globalization also plays a significant role in people's life. Vehicles and communication technology, such as bus, car, train, plane, internet and mobile phone, are shrinking the world. They all make things convenient to people. Simply take a Renault car for example; it is absolutely a French brand. However it is highly possible that the key part like motors are provided by American company, the tires are provided by Bridgestone, which is owned by Japan. At the same time, it can be assembled by Vietnamese worker and then sold on Korean market. Who does on earth the car belong to? As one of negative consequences of modern booming industry, environmental pollution is becoming another globally bothersome issue. To deal with it, collective efforts and cooperation between countries are called for.


Another hot topic could be that someone believes that present terrorism activities and local conflicts are caused by increasing globalization. We cannot deny that during globalization, conflicts indeed exist between different races, different religions. However, globalization is also an effective way to contract with all the countries to get rid of these conflicts and terrorism. Country safety and international cooperation against terrorism has been put to a significant level for most countries. For instance, China has joined the international community in condemning and fighting terrorism and is playing a constructive role in the international counter-terrorism struggle. In accordance with China report that "In June 2001, China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan founded the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). As we all know, it issued the Shanghai Declaration, which clearly said that the members would cooperate to fight against international terrorism, ethnic separatism and religious extremism.”
Good transnational corporations have upper-level methods of operation and management, which are widely used in the world. Frenchman Henri Fayola considers management to consist of five functions: planning, organizing, leading, coordinating, controlling. Organization is a significant part of management. As a famous global international organization -- the World Trade Organization (WTO)mediate trade disputes and set up a uniform platform of trading. When advanced technology and equipment are imported, we must run enterprises with advanced management and operation techniques and set attainable quotas. According to Hitt Michael, "Strategic management cases are produced from competitiveness and globalization." Some chain stores run well all over the world, such as hamburger chains—KFC, McDonalds, supermarket
chains-Carrefour, Wal-Mart. There is a lot of famous name brand. For instance, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Armani, Chanel, Cartier. Why do these groups run well all over the world ? Because they have highest standards of administration and marketing. As a renowned and successful Chinese brand, Haier’s management philosophy and mmodel is clearly exceptional." Haier's global branding process combines the best in eastern and western management thinking to create a foundation for further innovation. "They insist in actively and effectively using foreign capital, emphasize bringing in advanced technologies, modern managerial expertise and specialists, and support multiple forms of cooperation. Management in business and human organization activity, in simple terms means the act of getting people together to accomplish desired goals. Haier's Individual Goal Combination management system means that every employee is an independent and innovative SBU with the goal of achieving primacy in the marketplace. As the Chief Execute Operator Zhang Ruimin management innovations have been widely recognized by international management institutions. Haier's "Market Chain" management was also included in the European Union's case study database. Haier's Individual-Goal Combination management system is currently assisting companies around the world to better manage their storage and due receivable systems.


Globalization is not incidental to our lives nowadays, but oppositely the developing tendency worldwide. Basically it penetrates every aspects of daily life along with apparent benefits. Despite of some harmful impacts it brings, they can also be realized and solved by cooperation of all nations. That is to say, human beings can make use of globalization to serve people better instead of suffering. Globalization is even vital to management operation besides above mentioned aspects. Strategies are always made out of the consideration of global perspective and haves to be accustomed to globalization requirement in order to achieve success in competitive market.

selfstudy on BBC comments about the Olympic closing ceremony











BBC comments about the Olympic closing ceremony,then I try to translate into Chinese.

Oh my god,the Chinese will be a hard act to follow. What a shambles the British effort was, very embarrassing indeed. A double decker bus, beckham, an xfactor winner, a sweaty aging rock star, dancers with umbrellas throwng newspapers everywhere. I guess a good symbol of modern day Britain. I fear our efforts will always be second class to China. This might show new labour off for what they are and what they have done to our once great country  
天啊,中国人的表演将是很难去学习,英国的表现是这么的丢脸,丢脸之极。一辆双层公交,贝克汉姆,一个选秀赢家,一个老摇滚明星,一群舞者拿这雨伞乱丢报纸,我猜这就是现代伦敦的标志。我恐怕我们的表现对比中国来说永远只能是二等。。。。。。 
 The dancing was a bit straggly in the " London " routine . After seeing all the cyclists taking part,the Chinese will think "Nobody can afford cars in London "  
伦敦的例行表演中登场的那些舞者简直就是群魔乱舞。眼看着那些骑着自行车的家伙也来凑热闹,中国人都会认为“伦敦人都买不起车啦”    
The British "teaser" was ok, but we were disappointed to see the performer in the wheelchair was not in fact disabled but was leaping around later in the dance.  
英国人还不赖,不过当我们发现那位坐轮椅的表演者根本不是残疾的时候--他在稍后的舞蹈中到处蹦达来着 --- 好失望呀么好失望。  
Did anyone else this the 'London 8 minutes' presentation was - dare I say it - rubbish!? Leona sang her heart out on top of a ladder, on top of a bus whilst 20 contemporary dancers did their stuff way below. It was just so low key relative to what had gone on before it.  
这儿还有没有人也觉得这次“伦敦8分钟”表演根本就是--恕我直言--垃圾!?Leona站在那巴士顶上的高架子上唱歌,简直把她的小心肝都给吓破了;同时还有那20来个家伙在底下伴舞。跟之前的那些表演相比,真是够丢分的了。    
But oh, our offering at the closing ceremony was embarrassing.A red bus,a pop singer, an ageing rocker and an overpaid ball kicker was awful. Where was our great Island heritage portrayed in all this flummery? 
 哦,我们在闭幕式上的表现真丢脸。一辆红吧是,一个流行歌手,一个摇滚老头,还有个我们付了太多薪水给他的踢球的家伙 -- 这一切都太糟糕了。在这堆乱七八糟的糟粕里头,我们这个伟大岛屿的传承却无处可见。  
Organisers - please do better for us in 2012.
组织者 -- 行行好,好好干~在2012年给我们挣点脸 
And why can't Boris button his jacket? Too fat or bad tailoring?  
这句话是说他们市长的:为什么Boris上衣的扣子不扣起来?他太胖了还是衣服剪裁不合适? 
 I've just watched the Olympic closing ceremony, and as I feared, Britain's contribution was embarassing and totally pathetic - I just hope they manage to do better in 2012. It will obviously be impossible to rival the spectacular pageant that Beijing provided, but I thought the dancing (if you can call that dancing) and the Leona Lewis/Jimmy Page effort was just pitiful. Hopefully, we can ditch all this government inspired 'Cool Britannia' garbage and present something a bit more slick and professional. 
 刚看了闭幕式,跟我担心的一样,英国的表现真丢人而且完全令人失望,我只希望他们2012年能搞好点儿。很明显我们没法跟北京搞出的壮观场面好点,但我想那些舞蹈(如果你管那个叫舞蹈)和俩歌手的表演都很令人遗憾。希望我们能够摆脱政府提倡的那些“酷酷的大不列颠”的垃圾,展现一些更专业和娴熟(?)的东西  
I agree that Adrian Childs was poor: he seemed to think that he was on the One Show.    The London Bus routine was pretty much rubbish ... the music was poor and everything smacked of pop culture. Period. The Games themselves were superbly run. The BBC was teetering on the brink of overblown nationalism, however. 
我也觉得Adrian Childs很可怜,他看上去以为自己是在个人秀。 伦敦巴士的演出特别垃圾,音乐很糟糕,所有一切都带着流行文化时代的味道。运动会本身搞得非常好,但bbc有过分的民族主义之嫌(是嫌bbc吹捧英国运动员太厉害?)
Jimmy Page and David Beckham have been massive icons of British popular culture. I'm not especially a fan of either, but they perfectly suited to the ceremony. Not bothered either way about Leona whatshername, but the chief embarrassment, reducing us instantly to laughing stock of the world and diminishing at a stroke the achievements of our athletes, was the presence of Boris Bloody Johnson!!! This man symbolizes everything wrong with Britain - a deeply untalented buffoon, with a thoroughly sinister interior. Get him off the stage once and for all.  
Jimmy Page和贝壳都是英国流行文化的重大标志。我并不是他们的粉丝,但他们很适合这个演出。  那个叫Leona啥啥的演出我也不觉得糟(就是那个独唱的mm),但是最大的丢人之处,直接把我们埋汰成全世界的笑料并且抹杀了我们的运动员取得的成绩的,就是那个虾米Boris Johnson(伦敦那个混混市长)的出现!这家伙象征着英国所有糟糕的东西——一个完全没有天赋的小丑,内心丑恶。把他永远逐出舞台吧!  
When I heard about the plans for the London presentation, including the "arrangement" of the national anthem and the rehashed 70s rock music, I thought "it can't possibly be as bad as I'm imagining it". Well, it wasn't. It was a thousand, toe-curlingly hideous times worse. Against the dignity, seriousness and power of the Chinese displays, it was so far beyond embarrassing, my brain has already almost forgotten it, in a desperate paroxysm of self-defence. 
 当我听到伦敦发表的计划,包括“安排的”国歌和70年代的摇滚歌曲,我想这不可能比我想象的还要糟糕,好了,它不是,它是千万倍的更加糟糕。对比尊严的,严肃的和力量的中国表演,它比丢脸还要丢脸,在绝望的自我保护状态下,我的大脑已经将它忘记。 
 omg, I hope our eight minutes during the closing ceremony is not a foretaste of the tackiness to come in four years time. "    It felt a lot longer than eight minutes..... Every cringe and every gasp of horror made it feel like a lifetime!    If that is all we have to offer, lets hope the rest of the world has popped out down the pub when we take centre stage.    Our athletes deserve much better than this, they did us proud in Beijing (lets not forget the Paralympics too) and will continue to do so.  
饿滴神,我希望闭幕式这8分钟不是预示着四年之后我们要展示出来的东西。  这个感觉不止8分钟,希望我们跑上台去表演的时候世界上其他人都跑出去泡吧了……(哈哈)  我们的运动员值得比这个好得多的东西,他们为我们在北京赢得了骄傲(别忘了还有残奥会)并且会继续这样做。 
    
I have been glued to the Olympics constantly and very proud of Team GB but my god what on earth was that 8 minute section in the closing ceremony.The chinese put on a fantastic show and we have basically a red bus and a sparkler.Who ever put this together should be sacked before we are embarressed anymore. By the way BBC should be given a gold medal for the coverage, first class.  
我一直迷着奥运会,也很为英国队的表现骄傲,可是饿滴神啊,闭幕式的8分钟到底在干啥啊!  中国人的表演非常令人着迷,可我们就只有一辆红巴士和一些发光物(是指巴士变形后出来的绿哇哇的东西咩?)  把这些东西搞到一起去的人应该被炒鱿鱼,在我们继续丢人之前。  ps:bbc的报道应该给颁一块金牌,一流的。  

A beautifully organised Games all around, then Boris appears, jacket undone, looking like a drunk who gatecrashed the party, what an embarrassment    
一个组织有序的美丽的运动会,然后Boris出现了,  衣冠不整像个酒鬼一样冲进了派对    多么令人羞耻啊!!!!! 
 
Leona! Poor girls must be so nervous!  —— She sounds like a whale mating       I didn't think it was possibly but this both sucks and blows. Grow up London 2012 and stop trying to be so 'cool'. This is embarrassing.  
利昂娜!可怜的姑娘们很紧张吧!  —— 她听起来像是只正在交配的鲸鱼  我都不忍心这么说,但是这个的确是又SB又NC  成熟点,别那么装酷。真丢人  
Funny how the Beijing Olympics had absolutely nothing to do with Beijing. They were all about China. But the London Olympics are apparently all about London.    
 有趣的是,北京奥运和北京没什么太大关系,而是关于整个中国。但是伦敦奥运很明显只和伦敦有关      
 Is anyone else finding this all a bit shabby after the chinese dancing etc    
 大家有没有发现,在中国的舞蹈等等后面出场,他们显得多么寒酸啊   
 Why don't my buses look like that?     汗,我坐的公交车怎么不像那个样子  
The Chinese did it again the closing was amazing. First class and out of this world. The one negative was the London Show what in the heck was that. In Athens when the Chinese did there welccome to show it was amazing and you knew you where going to get something special in Beijing. I hope that London does better than what they showed to-day.  
中国人又让他们的闭幕式(和开幕式一样)一样NB,世界一流甚至超越世界!唯一让人不爽恶心呕吐的是伦敦的8分钟。在雅典闭幕式的时候,中国人华丽丽滴欢迎表演,就让人知道北京会展现出他的特别之处。我希望伦敦会比我们今天所看到的做得好些。 
 Replicate it, we don’t have a chance it hell. For one thing we’ll be lucky to find 1% of the volunteers from Beijing. Perhaps all the people claiming on benefits should be forced to volunteer !!!    Smith, London  
复制它,我们根本没TMD机会.其中一点如果我们走运的话我们能找到相当北京1%的志愿者.可能所有人都在抢夺本该属于志愿者的利益. 
 Dont know what to laugh more at - the tacky 8 minutes of rubbish the UK put on in Beijing or the smug comments on here about how "At least we are free.." Last time I looked the UK was the most watched (CCTV) nation on earth and we have a government that has used fear and hate to strip us of freedoms on a daily basis. The only difference between the UK and China is that they wasted billions more than we can afford to- but Im sure we'll waste as much as we can. But freedom?? Dont make me laugh!    Terry Roberts, Shropshire  不知道要嘲笑什么,在北京展示的英国垃圾8分钟还是这里自鸣得意的留言关于"至少我们是自由的",最后一次我看到英国是地球上安装最多监视器(CCTV英国沿街安装的监视系统,不是中央台哦)的国家,利用恐怖和仇恨来控制我们的日常自由,中国和英国之间唯一的区别是他们用掉了比我们的承受能力还多的钱,但是我相信我们也会花费我们能用的每一分钱.但是自由,别让我笑了. 
 The Chinese people seem to love all things western (David Beckham included by the looks of it) but in return all we can do is bad mouth them and show no respect. What does that say about us. There’s an old saying, treat people the same as how you would like to be treated.    Rob, London     
中国人似乎喜欢关于西方的所有事情(包括贝克汉姆),但是做为回报我们能做的只是说他们的坏话和不尊重.  有句古语,用你期待别人对待你的方式来对待别人 
 Oops, I forgot about the fireworks. Weren't they wonderful! I was so impressed by how they managed to create the Olympic Rings in the sky - truly amazing. Thank you China.    [cheesed-off], United Kingdom 
 哦...我忘说烟花了,太漂亮了,  他们是怎样把五环打在天空的,太不可思议了. 谢谢中国.   I have two tips for you, Boris. Keep your hands out of your pockets when attending high-profile events like this, and secondly fire whoever responsible for this fiasco and hire proper showbiz professionals – from Las Vegas if necessary – to handle the opening and closing ceremonies in 2012. Another toe-curling embarrassment like this would be unendurable.  波利斯(伦敦市长),俺有两个锦囊妙计贡献给你:一,在如此盛大高端的场合下,丫儿地把手从你那兜兜里掏出来;二,赶紧炒了那个端出英国8分钟这么一锅垃圾的责任人,2012年英国办开幕式闭幕式的时候一定要雇些演艺圈里的专业人员--万不得已的时候从赌城拉斯维加斯找也成哪。咱谁也受不了到时候再来那么一出让人囧的脚趾头都抽抽的尴尬演出!! 
 The closing ceremony was, as expected, spectacular and beautiful. 
 闭幕式就像想象中的那样壮观和美丽  
I have just finished watching the Closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. I must say that it was an incredible show from the beginning to the end. The whole event went on very smoothly. I agree with the IOC chairman that these games have opened China to the world and the world to China.
我刚刚看完北京奥运会的闭幕式。不得不说这是一场从头到尾都令人称奇的表演。整个表演尽展的很顺利。我同意国际奥组委的说法“这个奥运会会让中国与世界互相沟通”  
Thank you family of China. Thank you Beijing 2008.  We are all Children of the World and China have proved that to us.  All of the Olympians deserve credit for all the dedication and effort. It is the Greatest Show on Earth. With the best of the best. 2012 will be a great test for GB and as one Nation what a great challenge for us.  
谢谢你中国,谢谢你北京2008  我们都是世界之子,中国向我们证明了这个道理。  所有选手的努力都是值得的。这是地球上最伟大的盛会。最中之最。2012对英国来说是一个考研和挑战。     
 Well done China on a fantastic organisation of the games which was flawless and Team GB for their medal haul. Thank you China for putting the U.S into second place.  (注意看最后一句 --)      
中国在赛会的组织上干的棒极了,梦幻一般的毫无瑕疵。英国选手也一样。谢谢你,中国,你们让美国掉到第二的位置去了。    
  Well done, China! You have given the world a magnificent Olympics despite the efforts of the chattering classes in the Western media to portray you as some Stalinist state.  
中国棒极了!你给了整个世界一个精彩绝伦的奥运会,与此同时西方媒体还在喋喋不休的努力把你塑造成斯大林主义似的的国家。  
The female who hugged Yao Ming was Lauren Jackson, an Australia basketball player playing in WNBA. After Yao entered NBA, there was rumor she had a crush on Yao, but Yao turned her down. There were many gossip about them.  So, seeing them hugging at the closing ceremony really really made me laugh, because 4 years ago, at the closing ceremony of Athens Olympic, Yao and his girlfriend 'Ye Li' came out together and that was the first time their relationship went public(外国人也知道姚明的八卦啊)  那个在闭幕式上拥抱姚明的女运动员是在WNBA打球的Lauren Jackson,当姚进入NBA打球时,他们曾经发生过一段绯闻,但是姚拒绝了她>_<看到他们在闭幕式上拥抱真是太好玩了,你知道四年前在雅典的闭幕式上,姚和他的女朋友叶莉第一次手牵手出现在公众面前   What was that red bus /umbrella garbage all about? What an embarrassment for UK. It was not so much the pathetic handover performance that upset me, but the arrogant, rude and disgraceful behavior of London’s mayor Boris Johnson when attending the handover party in Bejing. Show some respect Mr BJ ! Beijing was a gracious host and deserves some praise at the handover.    Robert, Windsor  TMD红色巴士和垃圾雨伞到底是虾米啊??!!真是给英国丢脸啊。从来没有比这次可怜的交接仪式更雷到我的了。而那个伦敦市长Boris Johnson 在北京闭幕式的交接仪式上无知、粗鲁和毫无尊重的表现更是丢人。给北京一点尊重吧!北京是个热情和蔼的主人,在交接仪式上值得尊重!!   Production of Global sporting superstars at the 2008 Beijing Games is correct and will remain memorable. Yet, some of us tend to place focus on matters of less importance and one wonders what is their ulterior motives. All countries with high crime rates should learn from these recently concluded games, and note that it is of high importance to develop the youths sporting potential from a tender age, so that their high energy can be burnt in the right direction and not in criminal activities.    Hollis N Hosein, Trinidad and Tobago -WI  让北京举办地球上最盛大的体育盛会无疑是正确的,而且将会难以忘怀。我们中的一些人光注意那些根本不重要的细节,而且还有人觉得他们(中国)是别有用心滴。  所有高犯罪率的国家都应该从最近结束的奥运会学点什么,而且注意一下在豆蔻年华就发掘青少年的潜力是很重要滴,让他们的精力在正确的方向燃烧,而不是在犯罪行为上发光!   Well done China, well presented games, Boris came across well, showed we have a good mayor, who knows what London has to do to ensure we put on a good show, advice from those of us who are still British is dump most of the things in the 8 minutes as they are not in tune with London/British values or what people know us for, increase the use of the union flag as the useless logo looks half useful in that guise! Boris has clearly been saddled with Livingston’s leftie leftovers, dump them be bold!    [GlobalTemplar], Kingston upon Thames, United Kingdom  中国,干得不错!是一场精心准备的奥运会,Boris的出现也还好,显示出我们有多么优秀的一个市长啊,他知道伦敦应该做什么来显示我们可以举办好奥与会,我们这些人的大多数根本不明白伦敦/英国价值的人的建议都在8分钟里面出现鸟,或者说让世人对我们滴像一个没用的logo一样的联邦国旗又多了点印象。  Boris清楚滴展示了一个左派份子的垃圾形象,我们打包把他倒掉吧!!  (这段翻译得不好,这人反讽能力太强了,囧)  I t has been a long time that I felt embarrassed for 8 long minutes. I really hope the organizers get there act together for the 2012 Olympics in London, because whether we like it or not the Chinese did a wonderful job from beginning to end. Whether true or false, let us hope the Red Arrows will do a fly past at the opening ceremony in London because that will be something worth watching, unless of course Boris has something up his sleeve to surprise us all.    Rose, Bicester  很长一段时间内,我都为我们的8分钟感到丢脸,我真心希望那些组织者去为了我们的2012年伦敦奥运会,一起去那里(北京)看看,因为不管我们喜欢与否,中国人从头到尾都做得非常棒。无论正确与否,让我们希望在伦敦开幕式前the Red Arrows(英国红箭飞行表演队,在BBC开幕式的评论上就有英国人提到我们不会又上红箭吧,看来英国果然只有红箭啊-_-)能够腾飞起来,只有那样,说不定才有点看头,除非Boris又把他的手揣在兜里,来给我们所有人一个惊喜!  There is one word for the "London 2012" presentation at the Beijing Olympic closing ceremony...naff !  This includes Boris Johnson who looked as though he is in need of a decent tailor. It would help if he buttoned up his jacket. He looked like a 4th form schoolboy.  The Chinese show was magnificent. Our athletes were brilliant.    Delewar, Colchester  只能用一个词来形容代表“伦敦2012”在北京奥运会闭幕式上的表现---白开水!  这其中包括咱们的市长大人Boris Johnson ,他看起来需要一个体面的形象顾问,如果他把扣子扣上,看起来也不会那么囧,他看起来像一个4年级的中学生!  中国的闭幕式非常恢宏壮观,我们的运动员们也优秀。   The closing ceremony was just fine apart from the British bit which was simply atrocious!  Why did we have some prehistoric rock guitarist and a talent show winner miming to some abysmal sound track? What has David Beckham got to do with the Olympics? Hardly portrays a young, vibrant and exciting vision of what the 2012 games might offer.  If this is an example of how good London's Olympics is going to be, then perhaps Boris should ask the Chinese to keep the Olympic flame in Beijing.    [BirdGirlsCanFly]  除去英国糟糕透顶的表演部分,闭幕式还是不错滴。  为什么我们要找一些过气的摇滚吉他手和糟透的选秀歌手来刺激我们??贝克汉姆掺和在奥运会中做什么??我们几乎不能展现2012年伦敦可能提供的一个年轻、有活力和令人兴奋的印象。  如果这是伦敦奥运会将会展现出来的样子,也许Boris先生应该叫中国人把奥运会旗留在北京!   The Beijing to London handover shows how ill equipped we are to deal with an event of this scale.  Compared to spectacular displays by the Chinese, our offering is a pathetic embarrassment.  The 2012 Party belongs on Blue Peter and was on par with an end of term school show: Scouting for Girls destroying London’s Calling; Morrisons’ theme tune by Last Choir Standing and The Feeling playing with no feeling at all.  Is this all Britain has to offer?    Helen, Liverpool  北京-伦敦交接仪式显示出我们对应对这种盛大场合是多么的囧啊。  相比中国华丽恢宏的闭幕式,我们的表演简直是去丢脸滴!  2012年的开幕式应该是以Blue Peter 为主吧,而闭幕式会以中学毕业晚会的形式来搞:调戏女孩子的声音毁坏伦敦的通讯;合唱团唱Morrisons的诗歌腔调;唯一的感觉就是没有感觉。  这就是英国能够提供的????   The Chinese showed their rich heritage and history in a dignified and beautiful performance.  Us? We showed just what a farce 2012 will be.  Our country's heritage (prior to the last government!) is one to be proud of. We have customs and a richer history than many others. So why are we showing a logo from the 70's (I'm a designer, it's shocking!) and a display of ageing rock, one-hit wonders, chavs and only modern London?  I'm proud to be English, but in 2012? I may be moving...    Angela, Chesterfield   中国人以一种高贵和美仑美焕的演出,展现了他们最辉煌的历史和灿烂的文化.  我们呢??我们却只显示了2012年一场闹剧.  我们国家的历史文化值得我们每个人骄傲,我们有着比世界上其他任何国家都丰富的习俗和历史.那我们为什么却要拿出一个70年代的logo(我是个设计师,太雷人了!)和过时的摇滚blabla的东西,以及现代的伦敦来秀??  作为英国人我很骄傲,但是对于2012??我可能会搬走.....   Lets hope the UK can match the chinese games with same character and skill! Well its all up to Boris now and his management capabillities!! We know our athletes are capable!! Mind you he has on hell of a job to beat!!    [newtried], maidenhead, United Kingdom   让我们期待国家能够整出和中国的表演和技术相媲美的奥运会吧.当然现在这都要看Boris的管理能力了!!我们都知道我们的运动员都有这个能力!!希望他能小宇宙大爆发!   Why couldn't the BBC TV commentators just shut up when there is music on the screen? They did the same stupid thing at the opening and once again today. The TV is there for us to WATCH and when the music is on why give commentary? Also so much about history and the meaning of this and the meaning of that and the symbolism of this and that. For Heavans sake WHY did they not just shut up and let us listen to the music, to the drums and all that was happening. This was a disastrous coverage.    Hercules, London   BBC电视播音员能不能在音乐响起的时候闭上他的乌鸦嘴??他们今天又和开幕式的时候一样犯了同样的错误.音乐响器的时候,电视是给我们"看"的,为什么在那里JJWW说个不停??  太多太多关于历史的评论了,一会儿这个是什么,一会儿那个是什么,这个代表什么,那个象征什么.有完没完!!  上帝啊,为什么他们不闭上臭嘴让我们好好聆听这音乐,鼓声以及所有的一切?这场报道真TMD恶心   606: "A beautifully organised Games all around, then Boris appears, jacket undone, looking like a drunk who gatecrashed the party, what an embarrassment."  一场有条不紊的庆祝仪式华美进行中,这时boris(伦敦市长)像个醉汉一样敞着领子突然闯了进来,真他妈令人尴尬。    AND HERE'S BECKS! AND A WOMAN IN A RUNNING OUTFIT PLAYING A VIOLIN! Becks boots a ball into the crowd... just the one, and it doesn't quite make the crowd... a couple of officials have a bit of a scrabble over it... and that's that, London's eight minutes are up... what to make of that?   小贝出来了!还有在跑动人群中拉小提琴的女人。小贝将一个足球踢向人群。。。只有一个,没有引起太大的骚动。。。两个工作人员乱扒了一通。。。就这些,伦敦八分钟结束了。。。谁明白这是想表达什么意思吗?

Summarise the main effects of globalisation and discuss to what extent they are beneficial to subject area


Introduction:
What is Globalization?Nowadays, globalization has become an important issue, which draws general concern of the international community. The effect of globalisation is all-pervasive. For example, international political, economic, scientific, technological and cultural exchanges. Does it bring advantages or disadvantages to the world has become a hot focus. Supporters contend that the globalization has a positive effects, and far outweigh the disadvantages .On the other hand, critics think . “While strong economic growth has made most people better off in absolute terms, globalization is often blamed for the widening gap between rich and poor.”[1](IMF, 2007).In this essay , I will observe on the positive and negative of globalization in different areas, such as international trade, environmental pollution and then I will discuss the benefits to my subject area--- management.

1.Globalization makes it possible to carry out international trade between different countries, by which they can reasonably make use of resources and exert their competitive advantage. Therefore overall resource and benefits can be maximized from global point of view.a. domestic market vs. global market, competitive advantages.b.. locations of raw material, final product and market are more close and easily transported between each other.


2.Globalization plays a significant role in people's daily life.a. transport &communication(Shrinking world)b. poverty & rich countriesc. Peace &war (politically) e.g. Terrorism.


3.As one of negative consequences of modern booming industry, environmental pollution is becoming another globally bothersome issue. To deal with it, collective efforts and cooperation between countries are called for.

4.Good translational corporations have upper-level management ways, which are widely used in the world. We should continue to actively and effectively use foreign capital, emphasize bringing in advanced technologies, modern managerial expertise and specialists, and support multiple forms of cooperation .

Conclusion:Globalization has become a development tendency in the whole world .The harmful impacts of globalization should be solved by all nations By working together, we can make use of globalization to serve people better.
