Abstract
This paper seeks to explore particularly the economic, cultural and, to some extent, social changes resulting from globalisation's differential impact, with a focus on challenges these have presented. Given the limited scope of this paper, attention is placed on global poverty, differential experiences of women in accessing resources and the strong influence globalisation has had on nation-states' decision-making processes in relation to social service provision. Moreover, the role that social work has taken in addressing these problems is critically examined, along with a critical analysis of what international social work really is, and how institutions such as the IFSW have shaped it.
From the Paper
"Various writers argue that globalisation is a process dominated by western ideology and discourse, and thus does not promote or diffuse equality in relation to cultural understanding and respect (Crary & Mariani 1990; Grossberg 1997). In this case globalisation is seen as spreading Western cultural hegemony throughout the world, threatening traditional cultures and national identities in Third World and peripheral countries, thus perpetuating the image of the "western colonising nation" (Birch et al. 2001:2). Grossberg (1997:20-21) points out that globalisation "is a power that generally belongs to 'the West'". He argues that globalisation is perceived by "peripheral nations" and "peripheral communities within core nations" as a threat to local traditions and as facilitating a regime of "cultural imperialism". Grossberg's rationale for these views is that globalisation spreads a form of western-saturated global cultural values."

Abstract
This paper takes the position that a Western (North American and Western European) dominated global culture and its visual imagery intrudes on our lives and serves as a tool for colonialized superpowers
From the Paper
"Cultural, artistic and social circulation of images across the globe is Western-based as well. European capitals like London and North American cities like New York City are considered as the centres of arts and sciences of the world. Television programs, fashion and industrial products that are used in the third world countries are mostly imported from United States and England."

Abstract
The paper discusses the arguments in favor of and against globalization. The paper shows that although globalization offers bright prospects for the future, its advantages depend on establishing effective regulatory apparatuses that protect the vulnerable. The paper concludes that until these protections are set up, globalization can only be considered a mixed blessing.
From the Paper
"Those who trumpet the salutary benefits of globalization often argue that the increased flow of goods, materials, capital and human resources across permeable national borders facilitates an increased information exchange and allows developing countries to access - far more easily than was once the case - the technological innovations and advanced business practices of the developed world. More than that, those who credit globalization for many things insist that the economic, social and intellectual phenomenon that has come to dwarf all others in the last-quarter of the twentieth century (and now in the first few years of the twenty-first) has permitted developing nations (predominantly in the global south) to develop late-industrial or even post-industrial economies of their own - something which, it is frequently argued, can only lead to greater prosperity for everyone. A good example in support of such a stance would be the development of extractive industries in African nations and/or the development of a thriving IT sector in a nation such as India as western countries flood Foreign Direct Investment and technological tools into that land."

Globalization's Effect on Tourism, 2005.
Globalization's effect on the international tourism industry.

Abstract
This paper discusses the impact of globalization on the international tourism industry in the U.S. and abroad.
From the Paper
"The globalization of the developing world by the industrialized, developed world is a large concern for these new progressing nations. This effect has been brought to light as a result of the resurrected focus on opening up these markets to free trade and tourism opportunities. Several of these nations have been caught up in a practice of isolationism, or separatism from the developed world. This has depressed their economies significantly and limited their opportunities for growth in the new age globalization. This limited horizon has recently taken a huge turn for the better in several of these countries and spurred much development and growth for these areas."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses what globalization is and looks at why it is important to domestic firms and the individual consumer. The writer also analyzes the ways in which globalization is a benefit and how it can operate as a threat. Finally, the writer concludes with a discussion of the manner in which globalization affects a society's beliefs, economy and politics. The writer concludes that facing the effects of globalization calls for a complete change of mind-set among policymakers, planners, administrators, academicians, researchers and people alike. The writer maintains that overcoming these challenges will no doubt lead to a better society for individuals in all countries, whether economically advantaged or under developed.
Outline:
Introduction
Importance of Globalization to Domestic Firms and the Individual Consumer
Benefits of Globalization
The Threats Posed by Globalization
The Effects of Globalization on a Society's Beliefs, Economy & Politics
From the Paper
"Globalization is important to domestic firms because it allows them the opportunity to expand into international markets, thus growing their business and increasing their revenue potential. It gives domestic firms the opportunity sell their goods online through ecommerce worldwide, without having to establish a company in a foreign country. Domestic firms can also set up factories overseas and outsource the production of their manufactured goods, at a much lower price than before. Outsourcing also benefits the foreign country that the goods are outsourced to, because it creates previously unavailable jobs in poorer countries. Globalization affects the end consumer because people in other countries are able to make purchases online without having to travel to another country. Through the Internet, the domestic consumer now has the opportunity to purchase foreign products and goods not previously available to them. Technology has also allowed for the rapid shipment of goods between countries, connecting countries through global commerce."

Abstract
The following essayis uses the book Kutu as it's primary source. The paper discusses the effects of globalization on the people of Yaxbe. The paper argues that as the people of Yaxbe became increasingly involved in national and global systems their local systems declined.
From the Paper
"In Katun Cindy L. Hull writes about her experiences as an Anthropologist in the village of Yaxbe in the northwest of the Yucatan. Hull's study clearly demonstrates that the people of Yaxbe have always been affected by larger national and global systems. The majority of her study focuses on the changes that have occurred in the village due to the rise and fall of the henequen industry (Hull 2004: xii). This essay will use Katun as a starting point. It will be argued in this essay that the people of Yaxbe have been affected in two primary ways by globalization."

Abstract
In this essay, the writer points out that the United States economy has once again emerged as a growing economy, dramatically and irreversibly impacting the global market. The writer notes that the impacts to the global market lie in the areas of employment, globalization, agriculture, intellectual property, the War on Terror, and the overall U.S. trade deficit. The writer maintains that some of these impacts have been positive for the global market, such as outsourcing and inflated gasoline imports. However, the majority of the impacts caused by the U.S. economy have had devastating effects for third world countries in the areas of technological developments and intellectual property protections. This paper addresses the impacts that the U.S. economy has had on other markets in the world, and concludes with a brief summary of the issues.
From the Paper
"In the area of technological innovation, the United States is also impacting the global market. In the agricultural industry, one quarter of the U.S. economy previously revolved around it; currently, agriculture comprises less than one percent as a result of efficiencies and breakthroughs in technology. Globalization has sparked a revolution in information and communication technology, resulting in the emergence of an Information Age that boasts the arrival of new levels of global interconnectedness. However, this global inter-connectedness has widened the gap between the information-rich and the information-deprived. The technological innovations made by the U.S. has forced individual countries to improve their efficiency or at least reduce the government's role in the economy. Thus, it can be argued that globalization has made the world more interdependent and has increased the damage that internal problems within individual countries can cause."

From the Paper
At a conference of twenty nations assembled in London, Gordon Brown, Britain's Finance Minister addressed the audience regarding the seriousness of the effects of global warming, saying 'We have sufficient evidence that human-made climate change is the most far-reaching and almost certainly the most threatening of all the environmental changes facing us'. The economic changes predicted by experts such as Mr. Brown as well as changes to weather patterns, human property, human life and the environment have led to ... "

Global Warming: History and Effect, 2005.
This paper discusses the history and effect of the concept of global warming.
3,430 words (approx. 13.7 pages), 9 sources, MLA, AU$ 157.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the concept of global warming caused by the elevation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was first issued in 1896, again in the 1970s and, by the 1980s, global warming again became the rage. The author points out that there are still individuals who claim that there is no reliable scientific data to support the global warming theory and state that scientists have only based their assessment on computer models; yet, scientific evidence shows that since 1860 the earth is warming. The paper relates that, despite this evidence of global warming, there remains uncertainty and debate among environmental groups, scientists and policymakers on its specific impact on the atmosphere; there is not one commonly known way to reduce carbon in the atmosphere.
From the Paper
"The 1990s were probably the warmest decade in the last 1,000 years, and much of the increase of the last millennium took place in the past 30 years. Scientists believe that greenhouse gas emissions from human sources are contributing to this worldwide warming trend. If greenhouse gas emissions continue unchecked, they predict that Earth, on average, will warm 2 to 6 degrees Fahrenheit by the year 2100. This could result in increased heat waves, droughts, forest fires, disease and sea-level rise leading to flooding of coastal areas."

The Global South and the Global North, 2007.
An analysis of the impact of globalization on the inequality between the global north and the global south.
1,402 words (approx. 5.6 pages), 8 sources, MLA, AU$ 75.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at globalization and discusses how it has exacerbated the pre-existing inequalities between the poor global south and the wealthy global north. It illustrates how globalization forces some people (predominantly in the southern regions of the planet) to work while permitting other people (predominantly individuals residing in the global north) to become wealthy.
From the Paper
"To start with, it is commonly known that powerful multinational corporations in the global north habitually take their manufacturing operations from Europe and/or America and deposit those aforementioned manufacturing operations in global south countries where they can avoid the onerous regulatory regimes, high corporate taxes, and high wage costs they associate with the north. At the same time, the movement of jobs and plants to the south has the unhappy effect of not only costing workers jobs in the north but also of reducing the south to the subordinate position of being "hewers of wood and drawers of water" for multinationals that are looking for cheap human resources that can be utilized in a working environment that is more permissive than the highly-regulated work environments of America and/or Europe. A good example of this phenomenon can be found in the IT sector where skilled U.S. workers are losing jobs to individuals overseas (Sosbe, 4) - presumably because the "cost of doing business" vis-a-vis wage expenses is lower in global south nations which do not have a strong tradition of labor activism or of government involvement in employee-employer relations."

Globalization and Global Labour Patterns, 2005.
An analysis of the factors leading to globalization and global labour patterns.

Abstract
This paper discusses globalization and global labour patterns. The paper argues that in a globalized world corporations are determining the labour conditions in both developed and developing countries. It suggests that the corporations are essentially making cheap, unskilled and flexible labourers.
From the Paper
"Globalization and Global Labour Patterns Globalization is one of the most controversial issues in politics and economics. In "Note on Terminalogy" David McNally defines globalization as, "The mainstream term for the new world Economy of the past twenty years" (McNally 9). How exactly has the world economy changed? While discussing the political and economic changes that have occurred over the last three decades Teeple explains, A system of highly integrated world trade was an irreversible fact by the end of the 1970s, confirmed and hastened by the new means of transportation and communications, whose increased productivity were transforming the worldwide distribution of products and hence the global conditions for valorization (Teeple 71)."

Processes of Globalization and Shared Global Culture, 2005.
A discussion on whether the processes of globalization are producing a shared global culture.
2,028 words (approx. 8.1 pages), 4 sources, APA, AU$ 104.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper states that it is not complicated to find some globalized places such as airline terminals, international hotels or CNN business news revealing the effects of globalization and its repercussions on our understanding of culture in the modern world. The paper relates that through the growing of global interconnections and the processes of ideas and global goods crossing national borders, cultures fuse across the globe. The paper also discusses the presence of English as an international language, and a homogenization of culture. The paper confirms that, culture is a set of values and practices characterized by its particularity, which nevertheless needs universal criteria as a reference to justify this particularity. It is also crucial to define culture as an "encompassing" concept and to keep in mind that it is difficult to know what is cultural.
From the Paper
"In addition, a shared global culture is also relevant as a global dissemination of an American or Western culture. Indeed the processes of globalization are providing fuel for a cultural imperialism, that is to say a global culture liable to be a hegemonic culture. Thus the assertion of a shared global culture seems to be linked to what Friedman describes as "the increasing hegemony of particular central cultures, the diffusion of American values, consumers goods and lifestyles" (Friedman, 1994: 195). The diffusion of dominant standard icons and references such as MacDonald's, Coca-Cola leads to think about an obvious Americanization. In a word, cultures are both confronted by a global dominance of the western culture and by the practices of global capitalism. The result is probably a decrease of cultural differences: a process which undeniably worked to the advantage of the USA and others Western nations. A striking example of this tendency of cultural imperialism is the United Nations Educations Scientific and Cultural Organization's call for a "new world information and communication order" and its politics on global culture."

Globalization and Global Survival, 2005.
This paper discusses the effects and dangers of globalization.
1,800 words (approx. 7.2 pages), 5 sources, AU$ 114.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This article examines the cultural, commercial, political and environmental effects of globalization. The writer then looks at the related challenges and dangers. The writer discusses how the existence of international monopolies together with the third world sweat shops and additional factors endanger global survival. The writer further discusses that globalization's exportation of environmentally and perhaps socially unsustainable Western materialism to populous developing nations such as India and China is also worrying for the future of the planet.
From the Paper
"Evidence of increasing hegemony by an ever shrinking number of multinational conglomerates is fuelling increasing concern regarding global cultural, commercial, political and environmental effects from such inequitable distribution of power. The creation of international industrial monopolies and massive fortunes of unprecedented size, accompanied as it is by equally massive down-sizing, unemployment, environmental degradation and the exponential increase of Third World sweat shops and child labor, seems to be leading to disaster on a global scale."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"As countries have increasingly engaged in the importing and exporting of goods and services, international trade has become more prominent. International trade has been the catalysis for globalization. Globalization is the convergence of distinct national economic systems to one huge global market (Hill, 2005). Several theories exist that explain the benefits of international trade and subsequently globalization. Adam's Smith's theory of absolute advantage, the theory of comparative advantage and the Heckscher-Ohlin theory all support the concept of globalization."
