Globalization vs. Nationalism

Globalization is more global movement or trend that can erode nationalism. Nationalism is more based on a specific "nation" with a specific culture. Meanwhile, globalization attempts to create a global culture by implementing a more dominant one over other countries while having a backflow from its receptor country.

In my opinion, globalization and nationalism should go hand in hand with the development of a country. Globalization helps elimiante barriers between regions, and has connected the world more than ever, making it easier to reach places we couldn't reach before, and arrive at faster times, furthermore it has made it easier to exchange culture, ideas, entretainment almost instantaneously. This if applied correctly can help boost a country's economy, and make people more aware of what happens in other parts of the world.

Nationalism is also a major factor for a country's development, as it is what connects people, based on their history. It is crucial that people feel identified with their nation, as not only does this help unify the country, and avoid internal conflicts, but also if people don't feel identified with their culture, and don't embrace it, the true values of a country will not be represented correctly at a global scale.

Globalization is important for both developed and developing countries as it creates connections between economies, cultures, and technologies. However, it is important for a country to remain with certain nationalism while developing in order to avoid the loss of cultures.

Globalization is an important element in the development of a country. It aids in the expansion of a country's economy by the creation of new relations with other countries. More developed countries are able to invest in less developed countries to provide more jobs, more capital, advances in technology, among others. Nonetheless, it also involves the flow of ideas. As a nation becomes more developed there can be negative consequences concerning nationalism. Countries tend to lose their ideas and costumes when they become more interconnected with others and begin to adapt to new cultures.

I think that both concepts are vital for the survival and development for every country and society nowadays. On one hand, it is imperative to mention that every society and culture is vulnerable and sort of exposed to the process of globalization, and this has both advantages and disadvantages. Through erosion of national boundaries, the exchange of ideas, goods and services, and the creation of information networks can favour every country to some extent; satisfying consumers around the globe, improving technologies, and creating jobs, for instance. Also, the process of globalization is important because it is the way the world economy stabilizes nowadays; no one is self-sufficient.

However, I believe that there must be limits to this global homogenization and that nationalism is important in the sense that one must protect and value one's community and its rights. Because otherwise there might be a loss of cultural identity and more.

Both globalization and nationalism are important, globalization helps countries, have greater contact with other countries and cultures, it helps them with trade, technological exchange and more. But nationalism is also important as it should not be replaced by the influences of other countries during globalization.

It is true that globalization may provide competition for countries and encourage countries to economically develop, however, we must not forget that as countries become more and more interconnected with each other; a more "dominant" culture will undoubtedly end up overthrowing the "weaker" ones. This means that important traditions, political systems and religions will be lost for many of the "smaller" and "weaker" countries. Now, this does not mean that I believe nationalism has only positive aspects. Most countries/cultures need to lean on others in order to survive, especially with how technology is advancing in a direction to further interconnect us. This means that for a country to be able to thrive in this age and day, they must to a certain extent, be open to globalization.

As India is developing economy we need to adopt various new technologies regarding trades, commerce, IT, agriculture and other allied sectors from the developed nations in order to compete them in future. Therefore Globalization plays a vital role as a trademark of our nation should be developed so as to called as SUPERPOWER.

THANKS.

I will generalise this topic and consider India as a country, even though globalisation is the only direction in which a country should go in order to achieve the status of a developed/powerful country but there are many backsides to it, for a country like India who still has majority of people below poverty line and a higher rate of illiteracy its very hard for its people to get out of the bigotry and bounds of religion, but as Darwin quotes"survival of the fittest " the ones who will adapt will progress whereas others will be ruined.

Globalisation is basically reformed to a culture not necessarily radical, and people should adapt accordingly, because what was said before doesn't apply to present circumstances, therefore I believe globalisation is a must for a country to progress and culture, values of a country should remain intact along with globalisation with certain crucial adaptation.

As we know globalization is trend of inceasing interaction between people or comapanies on a world wide scale and nationalism is patriotic sentiment or political idology. I support all type of globalization except political globalization. Globalization help in increase gdp rate of country, reduce unemployment rate, enhance technologies and also in transportation but political globalization is danger for democracy of country because increase of international influence the power of government will get reduce due to this intereference.
