2．Globalization means that people，ideas，technology，money，services and many other things are moving between countries and changing the way people think and act．
Not everyone thinks the same way about globalization．Some people think it is bad，and some people think it is good．Some believe that globalization helps rich people get richer and makes poor people poorer．These people say that globalization helps big companies like Coca-Cola and McDonald's destory（破壞）local businesses．However，the people who think globalization is a good thing argue that globalization helps poorer people to become richer．They also think that it doesn't destory local cultures．These people also believe globalization helps prevent wars．This is because countries with economic（經(jīng)濟的）connections will try hard to keep good relationahips so that their economies aren't destroyed．
Whether you think globalization is good or bad，it affects the world in two areas：jobs and cultures．
Globalization has had a very strong influence on jobs all over the would．For some workers，such as engincers，lawyers and bankers，globalization has been a good development．These workers are able to successfully compete（競爭）globally and have seen an incrase in their pay．But for those who work in factories or in the aervice industry（at hotels，shops and restaurants），it has not been good．Workers from poorer countries are trying to get these types of jobs．They will do the same job for less money．This decreases the pay for that job，so people get paid less to do it．
Cultures have also been affected by globalization．Foods such as Japanese noodles，Inaian curry and French cheeses have spread around the world．We can also see an increase in the use of Chinese characters（漢字）in tattoos（文身）．Some people get these tattoos but they don't really know what the characters mean．Globalization also affects the film industry．Most people have seen American movies．But because of globalization，Korean．Indian and Japanese movies have become more wouldwide．
No one knows the future of globalization．Most experts agree that it will continue to grow and have an increasingly greater influence on people's lives in the future．

分析 本文是介紹全球化，是一種概念，也是一種人類社會發(fā)展的現(xiàn)象過程．全球化目前有諸多定義，通常意義上的全球化是指全球聯(lián)系不斷增強，人類生活在全球規(guī)模的基礎(chǔ)上發(fā)展及全球意識的崛起．國與國之間在政治、經(jīng)濟貿(mào)易上互相依存．逐漸引起各國政治、教育、社會及文化等學(xué)科領(lǐng)域的重視，紛紛引起研究熱潮．對于"全球化"的觀感是好是壞，目前仍是見仁見智．專家還說全球化將會改變?nèi)藗兊纳睿?/p>
