8. What do you think about globalization?
Wow! That's a complex question. First, I think that globalization has had a relatively positive impact
on our lives, especially for young people like me. Globalization brought so many new things to my
country. Nowadays, we have access to foreign music, movies, and literature that my grandparents
did not have. In addition, globalization has had an impact on the Chinese economy. A lot of foreign
companies set up factories and offices in China. This creates a lot of jobs, which means a lot of
opportunities for us all. Usually the salary in foreign companies is quite high too, and Chinese
employees can learn from their way of doing business. Nowadays a lot of Chinese companies export
all over the world, and exchange services and goods with so many different nations. It's a great
chance to meet more people and open up our minds. However, globalization seems to create a
homogenized(= common) world culture, so people all over the world seem to have similar tastes
and ideas. It seems to eradicate (= eliminate) regional diversity. Chinese people wear Western
clothes, eat hamburgers and drive German cars. We all watch American movies, drink coffee, and
read Japanese comics. We should be careful not to forget our national traditions and regional
specificities (= particularities).
