about the effects of Globalisation on my life

Part of my definitions of Globalization is based on the entry recorded in Wikipedia online that is Globalization is the process which unifies people and access to economic forms across national barriers.Wikipedia is a good example of a global product that all people through access to technology can contribute to. This means that cultural barriers are broken down and people need to communicate from all over the world.

This creates some problems when different culture do not understand one another and when business does not respect the right of local people.For instance large global companies like McDonalds and Coca Cola, Starbucks are taking over the business of local people.we then lose national character when indigenous people are squeezed out of main centres.

However globalization relies on the media which can also have positive effects in protecting traditional culture and helping people to understand each other.The issue different counties and cultures face.

The Dalai Lama is a good example of someone who has used global media and travel to take a message of peace and compassion to the world. At the same time he promotes the cause of the Tibetan people in their struggle with China.


From my resarch it seems to me that we can not stop globalisation.Therefore we need to make it work for us not against us. We need our governments to make sure they protect local interests of business while still welcoming the rest of the world.

class report (future plans/goals)

This report is show about TB2 classmates future and their goals.There are various reasons why students study English at Unitec.

IN the current Diploma of advance English class only one person is studying the course because
she wants improve her general English language skills, one would like to join the New Zealand
police, a only one does the course because she thinks it will benefit her business.

The rest of the students in the class are doing the English course because they would like to pursue a degree at University later on. Among them, three would like to be teachers, one would like to study community studies. The rest have not decided what degree they will be studying.

The results show that majority of the students study English at Unitec to improve their English so that they can further their studies at the University.
