Globalization unit: How can globalization relate with sustainability

Nowadays, within the technology highly developed, the process of globalization is gradually becoming the dominant trend. Meanwhile, the groups that worried about sustainability for the present industries are also getting stronger. in this case, this blog will discuss about the how globalization and sustainability are able to affect each other and also what kinds of influences they will bring to each other.

In case to figure out the influences they have brought to each other, we need to understand how both of them work first. 

1. Globalization: it means the trend of a greater connection between countries all over the world. the relation can be multiple such as economic, politics and geographical. In this case, within more countries join Globalization, it will be able to improve the productivity of the world since they are combining several countries's resources to produce objects.
   

sustainability: it started with the concern from the time when the world began to expanded rapidly. From that point  people started worried about not only the Restoration of resources, but also the capacity of earth to accommodate the growing population.

• Connection: There are multiple connections exists between globalization and sustainability. 
• For example, since the process of globalization can bring the world a higher productivity, it will also increase the speed of consumption to the resources. In this case, the more globalization our world become, the more damage could be done to our planet. 

• Furthermore, the fact that globalization is able to lower the cost during the processing doesn't mean for all the countries that taking part in. In fact, the main beneficiary from the process are still those old core countries. Since they have a higher labor cost in their own land. By shifting the processing parts required labor resources to those near core and new core countries, it can significantly reduce the cost during the process. however, for those near core and new core countries, as being the part who taking care of producing, they are not only responsible for the labor resources cost, but also sometimes for those materials. Eventually, when the product has been sold out, the profit belong to them will only stand a small portion our of the whole profit since those countries who held the technologies in hand hare taking most of the profit. Just like this political cartoon reveals, after consuming all the resources from near core and new core countries, there are also environmental destruction and pollution left to those countries. However within the low income to those countries, they don't have enough economic support to dealing with those pollution in this case, the condition is getting worse as the globalization processing   

• After watching this video, we are able to further understand how globalization can impact the sustainability. In the video, without enough in come to support the factories the pollution coming with the process are being ignored since they don't have enough ability to dealing with that problems. For these countries, globalization is like a negative cycle, the fewer they are paid, the less sustainable they are. 

As a conclusion, after the researching between the relationship, I found depending on the situation of the country, the impact globalization bring can be different. For those old core countries like US, globalization will only make them stronger, there will be less pollution being released in their territories since the producing process is putted in other countries. meanwhile, the high productivity make them able to have better support when they are facing the problem of sustainability. However, for those near core and new core countries, globalization is like a double-edged-sword. On the one hand they are able to get more opportunity in case for better development. But within their developments, the pollution coming with will be stacked more and more. Therefore, there is a risk of sustainability in future.
