Unique Speech Topics On Globalisation And Nationalism
The world today has become very different from what it was because of globalisation. Talking about the positive or negative effect of globalisation, some see it as a power that destroys the heritage and culture of different ethnic groups around the world. For them, globalisation is a nightmare that is happening in the present and will continue for generations. Some effects of globalisation can be seen like, for example, wearing Adidas clothing, listening to iPods, watching Western television series, eating at NicDonalds, drinking at Starbucks or guzzling Coca-Cola, and even speaking a language that includes Americanised English slang While globalisation is not a new phenomenon, recent trends have involved some real changes in terms of scale, speed and cognition. Nationalism is in itself an international ideology, which can be used to promote and defend a particular Culture and way of life. An example of nationalism is when a person moves out of his home country, and still cheers for his home country's sports teams and continues to stay up to date with the local news. Nationalism is the foundation of modern society and social solidarity; it is also used by politicians to promote national unity and patriotism. Nationalism is proclaimed to be the goal of states that seek to further their interests in peace or war, in order to galvanise public opinion in support of their aims. People become capable of exercising sovereignty only when they enjoy some sense of solidarity based on shared values and customs. This solidarity is reified into the concept of a nation. Nationalism contributed to the major wars of the 20th century, for example through border disputes that arise from the division of ethnic groups by territorial borders. Thus, nationalism has a long history;
even before globalisation, and it has always been something that people fight for. One variant of nationalism, economic nationalism, in many ways harms the states that practise it. One of the main manifestations of economic nationalism is protectionism, which is costly for the global economy in general. As the world becomes interdependent, the fate of one state is linked and attached to the fate of another state. This is in many ways the basic feature of globalisation; therefore, a state that wants to cut any ties with other states is going to fall behind. Globalisation seems to diminish nationalism. Globalisation is the anti-thesis of nationalism as it suggests that there arc no boundaries just one globe. The importance of nationalism diminishes, as "we live in a world that is simultaneously shrinking and expanding, growing closer and further apart, national borders are increasingly irrelevant." Thus, with globalisation, nationalism has lost the power to keep the people of one nation together and draw a red line between different nationalities. The development of a global community, through interdependence, new technologies, and even media productions, challenges the nationalist thinking. "Globalisation and nationalism have a mixed relationship in which one has led to the other and one promotes the other. Some see globalisation as the result of nationalism, because each nation has participated and gives something to the globe in a successful collective action. This suggests that each independent nation has in one way or another been involved in making up the globe as it is now This could have happened through the interaction of trade in old days. Thus, without the existence of nationalism, globalisation would not be happening. Globalisation is a double-edged sword, and that there has been a marked rise of nationalism under globalisation. With growing globalisation and the changes it has brought to the world, minorities, nationalities, and localities have awakened and become more aware of the threat of globalisation. This threat exists in the homogenising nature of globalisation, which makes people and nationalities melt down into one. This has led to an increased national sense as a response to the force of globalisation in order to protect cultures, traditions, and nationalities from melting or adopting the new structure of the world that is caused by globalisation. However, nationalism has created xenophobia in which people fear that their nationality and traditions will disappear in the face of globalisation. Therefore, they create or invent traditions or reestablish old traditions in which they maintain their identity Thus, fearing the force of globalisation has led to an increased sense of nationalism and more defensive means to protect or even invent traditions just to resist globalisation. On the other hand, globalisation can be seen as a challenge to nationalism in the way that it increases immigration and the movement of peoples, which might create new causes of tensions and pose new difficulties to the management of cultural and ethnic diversity. Some other threats include participation in international organizations and the krs of parts of a stare's sovereignty over its own territory, as well as regional integration emding nationalist ideology. It is true den globalisation has the potential to contain aggressive nationalism that thrives on isolation and insecurity. . Globalisation has many advantages but there are some disadvantages too. Globalisation may be harmful for local domestic markets, because there may be many global companies which provide services and goods at nominal rates. Globalisation also increases the foreign control over a nation's economy. Nationalism is preferable, but the nationalism is not able to increase the GDP at the required level for the nation. Nationalism Creates a secure environment of trade for the ttatiott. But, for the improvement in the nation's economy there is a need of global orientation. Supporters of globalisation argue that it has the potential to make this world a better place to live in and solve some of the deep-seated problems like unemployment and poverty. The proponents say globalisation represents free trade which promotes global economic growth, creates jobs, makes companies more competitive, and lowers prices for consumer. But the general complaint about globalisation is that it has Emile the rich richer while making the non-rich poorer. "It is wonderful for managers, owners and investors, but hell on workers and nature." Globalisation has led to exploitation of labour. Prisoners and child workers are used to work in inhumane conditions. Safety standards are 'purred to produce cheap goods. There is also an increase in human trafficking. Social welfare schemes or "safety nets" an under great pressure in developed countries because of deficits. job losses, and other economic ramifications of globalisation. Globalisation is an economic tsunami that is sweeping the planet. We cannot stop it but there are many things we can do to slow it down and make it more equitable. Nationalism can be MOM than feeling patriotic about one's own country. values, or efforts. It can also be a feeling of superiority. 'We the greatest nation on the face of this planet," is a statement which is born from sense of nationalism. It advocates for independence, but there are also certain costs that come with such a perspective. Nationalism's superiority often causes a country to not only be independent from the rest of the world. but also separated from the rest of the world. Treaties can become more difficult to Iona It can become difficult to have a strong import/export market. This is because the focus is always on the self first. Nationalism just does not occur at the community level. It also occurs at the individual level. This leads to people separating themsehts based on labels they create on their own. This can be based on wealth, religion, and ethniciryinything that makes one person different from another. In conclusion it can be said that when it comes to the relationship between globalisation and nationalism, it an be said that there have been three major arguments that address this relationship. The first argument says that globalisation has diminished nationalism. thromth increased interdependence and weakening the national barriers between countries. In addition, the compression of time and space allows people to interact more rapidly, thus national differences have disappeared or at least have become less important and noticeable. The second argument maintains that globalisation and nationalism have a mixed relationship in which one leads to the other and one promotes the other. This argument stresses that the system of nation-states was established before globalisation, and each State has contributed to the emergence of a global system. However, under globalisation, the nation-state is still functioning and promoting the global system. The third argument says that globalisation has increased nationalist sentiments
