The expansion of multinational companies and the increase in globalization produce positive effects for everyone. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

SAMPLE ANSWER

In today’s modern world, globalization and the development of multinationals have occurred beyond our wildest expectations. This trend is claimed to bring positive outcomes for society as a whole, nonetheless, I disagree with this idea as I believe that it only makes money for a few.

Without a doubt, transnational companies often invest in developing countries, but their investment does not necessarily reduce poverty there. It is sometimes said that globalization improves international relations because it encourages the flow of money from wealthy to less-developed nations. In reality, however, the wealth generated usually stays in the hands of private corporations, while the majority of local people work for low wages. Furthermore, if the relentless advance of international brands into every corner of the world continues, these might one day completely oust the traditional products of a nation, which would be a loss of richness and diversity in the world. Related to this are conflicts between local communities and multinational corporations, including the ever-increasing levels of environmental degradation caused by business activities, which undeniably lead to resentment and distrust between nationalities, not better understanding.

However, this is not to say that globalization is entirely bad. There are benefits in terms of improving local infrastructures such as industrial parks and technologies. But to say that it is ‘always a force for good‘ is to ignore the various problems it causes.

To conclude, my firm conviction is that the spread of global businesses is an unwelcome and dreary prospect because the advantages to the rich and powerful people in our society cannot compensate for the detrimental effects on culture, traditions, and the local economy worldwide.
