Globalization begins in developed countries and tries to expand out to further destinations, giving these countries the opportunity to interact and improve economic conditions, as well as increase the population's standard of living. In this way, it provides more scope for others to benefit from having more opportunities. Developing countries also gain the chance to move forward and enjoy economic success and an enhanced quality of life. Competition between, and within, countries is critical for business. Globalization strengthens this, ensuring reasonable prices and lower rates for the production of goods.
It can also be seen as a tool to assist those in need. There are many people all over the world who are in a vulnerable economic position, lacking access to clean water, decent healthcare services, and without protection of their human rights. Due to the increased use of media, and interactions, under globalization, these issues gain greater attention from governments, non-governmental organizations,and the general public.
As a result, people become more aware of things happening in the world and cooperate in order to assist these populations and make their lives better. Globalization brings different nations closer to one another. It allows them to share their cultures and traditions through music, art, movies, etc. In this way, human beings become more open to one another; they seem to be ready to accept changes, and consider opposite points of view. It is also beneficial that countries have an opportunity to use innovative technologies developed by one another so that they do not need to face the strain of their creation over and over. Many nations deal with the same crucial issues, and find difficulty in trying to overcome them. Globalization enables them to cooperate and achieve common goals faster
