The world without Globalization

No internet, no international musics, no international films. These are some examples of what maybe wouldn't exist if there isn't globalization. It's easy, nowadays, to know what is happening with the whole world just by turning on you TV or surfing the net. However, can you imagine how the world would be without globalization?

It would take too much time for someone who lives in Brazil, for instance, know what is happening in another country.

The globalization has changed the whole world, conecting the countries and the people, and made life much easier as you can know other cultures just by watching a programme about it or searching on the internet.

The countries are so conected that bacame really hard to figure out that one day it wasn't like this and a population didn't even know the existence of another one in other place.

Maybe we wouldn't know anything about South Africa or Japan, for example, but one thing is true, we can't live without it anymore.

Globalization: What would the world be like without it?

Our world is totally connected nowadays, something that is happening on another country, even if it's on the other side of the world, is shown to many people in different places at the same moment. There are many good things that came with this process, like the connection between the continents. We can know more about other cultures and use things related to than. In Brazil, as an example, we use clothes, listen to music, watch films and go to places in the same way that some people from another places, and they can do the same with the brazilian's culture. On the other hand, the globalization shows how the world is controlled by the "most powerful" countries, as the United Stated, and it's clear to see because they have influences in almost all the world (music,films,food). I can't imagine how would our lifes be without it, because we've adapted to this kind of life wich ''we live here like we were living there!"

Embarassing situation.

In this year I made a surprise party for a friend, but i didn't called everyone in my class because the party was here, at my house and there was't too much space for me to call everyone in our class. So, after the party, there were some situations where friends of mine that were invited to the party talked about her and then other persons that were closer talked "Oh, the party that you haven't invited me" and stuff like this. Worse then this was a boy who's not even my friend and complained about me with many people because he wasn't called.

Internet equals short distance?

Nowadays, internet have very influence in our routine and in the communication, for sure. With the internet we can speak with people of all the world, we can read the most recent news and we can share our opinnion in many different ways. So, does internet equals short distance? I don't think so. I think it helps us a lot with all the different ways of communication that we have at the internet, besides, internet it's just something a little bit unpersonal, too cold. So, I guess it dependes on the situation. But it's always better to talk to people and visit the places personally, being face to face.

Belo Horizonte is a city kwown by your bars and restaurants and by your cold weahter. Can be a city that doesn't habe beaches ,but has a lot of other things to do there.

But if you want go out at night and meet other people you can go to Savassi, a neighborhood that offers a varierity of pubs and restaurants. In this place has the area where young people go and the area where the old people go.
And for the last, if you want to learn more about the history of the city you can visity a lot of museums, for example Mineiro where you learn about the Minas Gerais culture, or you can visit Museu da História Natural e Jardim Botâncio da UFMG where you can see the national fauna and flora.
But you can't forgot that is a big city and because of that a lot of people are robbed avery day, so be careful and enjoy the city!

Internet and distance

Internet can be a factor that keep people close, but can be a factor that increase the distance between thenm.
For example, if some friends live in diferents countries, or diferentes cities, the internet can make them stay close because they can talk usingwebcam, orkut, msn etc. , things that they couldn't do without internet because of the distance. But, in other hand, if people live at the same building, or the same house, internet can be a factor that increase the distance between them because it becomes a priority and the family stay in second plan or because it's a easier way to comunicate with people who live with you.
So, people have to learn the limits of the internet and don't give more importance to cybernetic world than to the real world or it will move away people who are close of them.
