Causes and effects of Globalization

Seems like in our era the term globalization is becoming stronger every day, these success is one of the most influential in our world. Why is so influential? Well it its transforming how we behave in the society and what we want from it.

Globalization is often identified as a dynamic process mainly caused by the societies that live under democratic capitalism and has a powerful engine for it’s developing and reinforcement, because many of the western countries, including some of the most wealthy ones; these cause a massive feedback for the phenomenon.

Another cause that make globalization a worldwide problem as its name says, is that the liberal culture has so many things that are attractive for other cultures and globalization not only includes cultural stuff it also covers economical things like the comercy; this one in specific is something that makes the globalization one good reason to embrace it.

But this aspects always has effects that in som

e cases are harmful for the people. An example could be that globalization established one regular way of acting, the consumerism, this behavior make all people begin shopping more and more with the time, because in this lifestyle people always will have the newest things and the stuff that is the best.

Another effect is the loss of the culture because the phenomenon carries with it an standard consumerism lifestyle that push people to stay far from the foreign culture and take less interest in it

Right punishments for real crimes

Day by day we see our city become a dangerous place to live, thieves and vandalism are destroying what’s left of the bright society that we are trying to keep stand and still. Although we are safe in our houses, nothing assures us that we are safe there. Can we stop that lack of insecurity only by placing barriers in our homes?

Countries create some rules to control the territory that covers the nation; but the creation of the laws depends of many people who are expertise in that aspect. But all that experts and laws doesn’t guaranties a better security or even a better punishment; if there is no organization that can apply the laws, laws by themselves are useless, For this reason the police is so important, because they make the laws real and encourage the sensation of safety.

In Costa Rica is not a secret that our laws are barely hard and effective, it is like joke when someone stole you something that cost less than 220 000 colones and is not a punishable crime. Another thing that is a real lack of common sense is when a drunk driver tramples innocent people or crash with other cars; in both cases mentioned above the laws and the organize fail in judging a evident mistake.

In conclusion both, laws and the organize which is in charge of apply them must be harsher and become more specific for a real treat for the people who are attempting this crimes.

Terrorism

In the world in where are we living is become more dangerous day by day, we all know that fact but many people still don’t realize how bad the situation is.

Few years ago one success was the tipping point for the topic of terrorism attacks, the world trade center incident, that day an attack was committed to the two towers; two planes were taken by a group of terrorists and them crashed the airplanes against of each one of the towers, many people died because of the incident, another two planes were taken by the same terrorists group, one crashed in the inhabited place and the other one crashed against the pentagon building. All this happenings set a state of terror and panic in the citizens of USA because of the pain of a new attack.

Terrorism organizations are well known in the society, these groups’ works for a specific cause or belief in common for all the people who integrate them. One of the most common reasons of why people gather in a group of this kind is the religious argumentation defense; this groups base all its movements in holy or sacred missions in name of their gods or god. Another example is organizations that takes territorial issues for excuse to do their stuff.

We all believe that terrorism only happens in countries that are in war or that have many problems, even the must peaceful country can be a spot for a attack from this organizations.
