In this 21 st century where the buzzword has primarily been globalization it would be a far fetched statement if we said that we did not believe in globalization .Man’s insatiable hunger for knowledge ,power and science has now taken him to Mars too. Every information is now just a click away no matter where he is, all thanks to the wide open arena of internet. It wouldn’t be wrong if one said that it is the “Encyclopedia of Encyclopedias”.
Business is no more restricted to one country or the other. Companies now always think of the global perspective. The economies of the nations are all a representative of the larger scenario : The Global Economy. The APEC, OPEC, European Union, SAARC, ASEAN, etc are burning examples of the global scenario.
The Koreans and Germans realized this and wasted no time in unification. They realized the oppurtunities that went a begging because of their strife. The Europeans followed suite and formed a united economic zone. This not only augurs well for the future but it also gives them better leverage in surviving the highly competitive world.
The long days of journeys and the warmth of hand written letters are things of the past. There is no place on this earth where you can’t get to within 24 hours, this has drastically changed the world. The mode of communicating with people has also helped this cause to a great extent. All your near and dear ones are just a call away from you. The mobile technology has provided a great fillip to the cause of communications.
We now treat things not only on the national scale but at the global level. Whether it is terrorism, recession, health, pollution, etc we all now treat them all as a common cause of concern. We as nations are seeking for help and also giving it in return in every field.
The day is not far when people shall start applying for a global passport rather than of a particular nation. We shall rather be seen as global citizens rather than as nationalists. This way all the blood cast on the name of religion, sex, colour, creed, race, etc can be rather utilized for an honourable cause. The borders are no more limiting the flights of this great civilization of humans anymore. Infact it is in their absence that they are flourishing.
