Impact of Globalization
Globalization for the world nation where the people have multi ethnicity and multi culture creates difficult challenges that can threaten the integrity of the nation and the nation. The first challenge is the pressures that come from outside both in the form of economic, political and cultural. Dependence on international economic forces causes the world nation to not be able to let go of these forces, despite the fact that what the world nation gets from these dependencies is not always sweet.
Economic dependence will spread to political dependence. The second challenge is the emergence of a tendency to strengthen groups based on ethnicity or ethnicity in society. The strengthening of groups based on ethnicity is not impossible to make the oath of youth "one homeland one nation and one language" remain a mere historical document. Dissatisfaction with community groups over the policy of the central government will easily and immediately lead to the threat of demands for "independence" from the unitary state of the World Republic.
According to Tanri Abeng, concrete manifestations of economic globalization take place in the following forms:
Globalization of production, in which companies produce in various countries, with the aim that production costs become lower. This is done either because of low labor costs, cheap import duties, adequate infrastructure or because of a conducive business and political climate. The world in this case is the location of global manufacturing.
Globalization of financing. Global companies have access to obtain loans or make investments (either in portfolio or direct) in all countries in the world. For example, PT Telkom in expanding its telephone lines, or PT Jasa Marga in expanding the toll road network, has utilized a BOT (build-operatetransfer) financing system with international business partners.
Globalization of the workforce. Global companies will be able to utilize workers from all over the world according to their class, such as the use of professional staff drawn from workers who already have international experience or unskilled labor that is usually obtained from developing countries. With globalization, the movement will become easier and free.
Globalization of information networks. The people of a country easily and quickly get information from countries in the world because of technological advances, including through: TV, radio, print media, etc. With an increasingly advanced communication network has helped expand markets to various parts of the world for the same goods. For example: KFC, levi’s jeans, or hamburgers hit the market everywhere. As a result, the tastes of the world community - both those who live in cities or in villages - lead to global tastes.
Trade Globalization. This is manifested in the form of reduction and uniformity of tariffs and the elimination of various non-tariff barriers. Thus trading and competition activities become faster, tighter, and fair.
Globalization in the Economy
The Impact of Globalization in the Economy, Globalization provides many choices of the products we want, which of course are adapted to the needs and prices we can afford. For example, we can compare the price of a shoe with a particular brand, both in terms of quality and price we want. Globalization has brought urban and rural communities into a consumer society. Things that need to be considered from the adverse effects of globalization, namely if the image (image) of foreign products is always better than domestic products will be fatal. This failure will be a boomerang for domestic products which of course will be unable to compete, both in terms of quality and quantity of products produced. How not, we are always behind the technology used compared to foreign industrial countries that are more advanced. Not to mention that human resources are on average lower quality than industrial countries (developed countries).
Positive Impacts of Economic Globalization
In this impact the opening of the international market, opportunities for employment are more open and the country's foreign exchange also increases. That way it can improve the nation's economy so that it will advance and enhance a sense of nationalism towards the nation and state, the following positive effects of globalization in the economic field are:
The market is very open for export products (with a note that world export products can compete in the international market), thus the opportunity for the world authorities is very open in creating quality products that are needed by world markets.
Easy to access investment capital from abroad.
It is easy to get goods that are needed by the community and not yet produced in the world.
Event events will increase so as to be able to open up employment opportunities and also become a venue for the promotion of World products.
With the existence of tangible forms of economic globalization, globalization certainly has an impact on people's lives in the form of both positive and negative impacts. Positive impacts of economic globalization include:
Global production can be increased This view is consistent with David Ricardo's 'Comparative Advantage' theory. Through specialization and trade the factors of world production can be used more efficiently, world output increases and society will benefit from specialization and trade in the form of increased income, which can further increase spending and savings.
