Many countries intrigue their share especially on industries in the international market. According to Simon Jeffery (2002) globalisation makes people easier to do their job in business, or running financial markets - it became a process. In facts, the world getting smaller because of globalisation, it makes the world work as one big village. Globalisation brings big impacts to this world and it is not just within economics, but almost in every aspect such as in social life, technological, political and cultural structures. For instance places like Koh Samui in Thailand is a place holidaymakers and tourists used to visit to soak up the local eastern culture and basic lifestyle. Now within the main drag running through the town you have tesco supermarkets, Burger King and Mcdonald fast food stores. This is a perfect example of “westernisation” or better known today as “globalisation”. If this is not controlled, a similar case will appear throughout the world. Is this westernization will bring a negative or positive impacts to the country. This essay will discuss the advantages and disadvantages that will cost from globalisation in different aspect such as culture, environment, technology, economics and my area of study. How it is going to create new economic and cultural zones within and across nations.
