Globalization vs. Nationalism

Hi, I appreciate globalisation for update in the world but we can't forget our nation and our nationalism. For example China people are well educated and well ahead in the development but they doesn't forget their nation love, if we want to know there technologies we need to know chinese language.

Globalization privilege us to grab the things of other countries. All things & discoveries can't be made in one country only, so each and every country must depend on each other that globalization and I don't think there is any harm of globalization except that we take it in a wrong manner. While talking about nationality, its our inner attitude or respect towards our country, afterall we are India and born in India it's our mother so we should respect our mother and we should be allegiance towards our nationality.

I think globalization is necessary for every country. It can be understood with an example like ayurveda was discovered in India and now the whole world is taking benefits from it, thats globalisation. That is how a developing country becomes a developed one by using technologies of other countries and spreading its technology to the world. Though nationalism is not an enemy of globalisation but how long can you stick to your old customs, sooner or later we have to get over it and get globalized.

Hi friends according to me globalization and nationalism both are important concept for every country, we need to maintain nationalism to expose our talent to the world and also it need to support our people to show their talent. Whereas globalization is also important no country is independent itself they need help of others so it's also important.

I would like to share 1 example India invented 0 now whole word using 0 for expressing their numerical things it's give world recognition to Indian, also it helps to all countries. When we want show our inventions to world it requires globalization, as well as as a developing country we need globalization but have maintain nationalism too.

Hi friends as per my understanding both are important but it depend on a national economy conditions which should be the best options to grow the economy. If we talk about developing countries there few sector where we can fight with mnc's where we should accept globalization and for example if a area where we still need to develop than we need only to allow come technology and not globalization so totally it depends on condition of country which is better option to grow.

I believe we are leaving in a planet where every one of us are so matured that what is right or wrong. I think that there should not be any kind of inhumanity among the national and globalization and the most important tag the globalization should not forgot that, the implementations, upgrade, superiority of the globalization is all by the efforts of nationalism. As of the current view of the society it has become such away that the products used by one country are bought to the other country and get to be sold which makes that particular country currency down and down. I THINK IF THIS ISSUE HAS A SOLUTION, THERE WILL BE MANY COUNTRIES LIKE CHINA, NOT THE ONE.

Globalization and Nationalization can co-exist, but only to the point when globalization is not confused with Westernization. Post-Independence, we Indians, have had strong infatuations with western traditions and way of life. To globalize does not necessarily mean to adhere to a different philosophy and abandoning our entire belief system. Different countries can co-operate peacefully on economic as well as other platforms without infringing upon the Nationalistic ideologies of another nations.

I would like to add an important historical point here. Back in the day, our country was proud to have Universities like Taxila and Nalanda where students from all over the world came and gained knowledge in various disciplines. The medium of language was partly alien to the foreign students. Still they came and studied. After all, it was the education that mattered and not the language.

It is one of the few examples where we managed to globalize tremendously keeping the nationalistic tendencies alive. There was a huge influx of foreign students at that time. Currently we do have "world class" management institutes but they do not have the same amount of foreign influx. We certainly have globalized a lot post-independence, but that globalization has come at the cost of Nationalism.

And this is what we need to keep in mind. For a country having tremendous cultural heritage, nationalistic ideologies are an intrinsic part of getting Globalized. If we continue on the current trend.

Hello Friends,

Globalization and Nationalism both are equally important for any country to have an eminent stand in the world market. As globalization gives a better way of sharing ideas, technology and knowledge in the current market situation resulting in emerging out better solutions but it should be done in such a way so that it must hinder the ethics of nationalism.

Globalization is the product of multinational corporations greed, exploiting and ravaging poor nations for corporate profit. Multinational corporations from the US have the US govt in their pockets. They rob US jobs with overseas slave wage workers and create dependence on other countries, like the mideast for oil and china for our cheap trinkets. Id be glad to pay a little more for oil and parts and trinkets and stuff to keep jobs in the US. The US through globalization brought on by multinational corporations, most based right here in the US have depleted the independence of the US.

In roman times, all roads led to Rome. The wealth of the roman empire flowed from the rest of the world into Rome. When history looks back, The US empire will be the only one in history to have created such massive wealth and gave it away to the rest of the world who still hated them for it.

In my opinion countries like Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt or any other country for that matter do not appreciate our help our intervention, our wars, our democracy, our aid or anything about the US.

Globalization might be good for some countries, but it is bringing down the US. Time for nationalistic policies keeping jobs and a good economy at home before we spread the wealth to the rest of the world.

Globalization and Nationalization are two very different terms. Globalization refers to assimilation of the best technology, economic pattern, defense, education, etc. Whereas nationalism symbolizes closeness or adherence to ones own values and culture which includes social, economic, political etc.

In the past due to less or no globalization countries development were stagnated or slowed, those were the days when nationalism was dominant. But at present we are convinced that if it was not for globalization we might have been still ignorant and poor and development a far dream.

Having said that to reap the fruits of globalization we have to create a favorable national environment. In short. We need a good blend between globalization and nationalism.
