In the modern globalized world, countries are linked together like never before as information, products and even people spread
across the globe. However, the question remains: Has globalization made people safer? In an essay, evaluate the impact of globalization on global security. In your response, be sure to both articulate a clear opinion supported by facts, and respond to evidence that refutes your view.
The globalization is a process that has brought many positives in the world, in almost every country and among almost all people. Unfortunately, this process also has its negatives too, and of them is the fact that the safety of the people around the world has actually decreased. The main reason for this is that through the mass and social media, everyone can communicate with everyone, so violence and extremism is often spread out in this way to people thousands of miles away. The means of travel are enabling people from all over the world to be able to go anywhere they want, including the people that want to cause troubles and damage. Another thing that is of great concern is that through the mail, everything can be sent everywhere, including deadly chemicals and pathogens. The deadly diseases that were only local, now can easily be transferred to other continents in only few hours because people travel throughout the whole world. The evidence for the decline in safety can easily be seen in the ever growing terrorist attacks all over the globe, people that have caused the death of civilians because they have been recruited online over time, pathogens spreading out into places where they are not native, and almost daily packages and letters sent through the mail with explosives or deadly chemicals in them.
