Globalization


Globalization: To develope something and make a international influence.

Pros: Globalization has many pros. First every culture gets to share each others cultures all over the world. It is also a very good thing economically. Also, it gives access to countries products from all over the world. Like McDonalds in Morocco is an example, or TGI Fridays in Morocco.

Cons : Political problems. Countries may get into fights because of globalization because they do not accept their culture being changed. Also globalization sometimes make new generations forget about their original cultures. Like at the moment, McDonalds is replacing Chinese fastood in China. Another problem is medical. When products are transported all over the world they might catch deseases that are then transmitted to the new country which might cause many problems.

Virtual Mobile 2.0
Mr. Buffet, sir, good afternoon. It is a privilege to be here today to present our newest revolutionary form of communication. I hold in my hand the Virtual Mobile 2.0, a gadget that will forever change the way we view communicational devices. This tiny machine is more capable than ever before, we have edited its performance in all aspects to make it perfect. What’s special about the Virtual Mobile 2.0 is that it brings your interactions to life. When speaking to someone, his or her facade emerges virtually before your eyes. The device works as a portable video call and has access to any and all network on this planet. The Internet is faster than ever and is incredibly easy to use. Also, watching videos on it is an amazing experience because of the impeccable resolution and the adjustable display size. The gadget is controlled vocally and remembers the user’s voice. Finally, this extraordinary tool is 2½ inches long, 1 inch wide, and ¼ inch thick. Best of all, it only costs 699$!
We will use infrared projectors made by “Shanghai Yayuan Lighting Appliance Co., Ltd.” to be able to project the calls in front of you. The glass for the device’s touch screen will be made by “Hyulipo” (a South Korean glass factory) and will then be shipped to India, by “The Shipping Corporation of India, Ltd” also known as “SCI” where it will be accumulated with the rest of the phone. The core of the device will be made of aluminum alloy in a small factory in the midst of Beijing.
We will employ Chinese laborers and make them work in Beijing and Shanghai because we were able to maintain great deals. We will have around 400 laborers whom we will pay 98$ per month. We’ll also have employees in India because we were able to find a cheap shipping company named “The Shipping Corporation of India, Ltd”. The workers there will be paid 102$ per month because of their quicker productivity, but we will employ 325 of them.
I have already written a letter to the leaders of China (Hu Jintao) and India (Manmohan Singh) about this project and they accepted my proposition to let us work in their countries. Their only regulations were that we had to pay all the workers sufficiently and it was highly forbidden to pollute the cities. These conditions aren’t going to be a problem to abide by because we already agreed to pay and our factories will be situated in rural sections of India and China, therefore we will have no problems with the Government.
If you give us the funding to industrialize the virtual mobile, 22% (153.78$) of every product sold will go into your pockets, and the remaining 78% (545.22$) will be used to pay for the commercialism, factory workers, shipping, materials, and the inventors. Apple, Samsung, Sony, Nokia; none of them have expanded their market to this magnitude but you, sir, could be the first. People all around the world have been waiting for something new. Something extraordinary! This is the answer to all of their calls! We hope you consider our offer, sir.
Thank you.
