The invention of mobile phones had actually cause globalization to occur as it makes the world become interconnected as we could use it to log on to news about all around the world or make a call just by pressing a button regardless where you are even from the mountain top. With the speed of mobile phones it made communication more efficient, making businesses around the world prosper as it enables them to make trade with each other easily. With the functions that mobile phones have people all around the world also wants to grab it. 
GLOBALISATION
This cartoon tells us that there is still unequal development and distribution of economy in this world.Globalisation will have the both negative and positive effects from different prospective and countries. Globalisation refers to the ever-increasing connectivity of people's lives, i.e. in the economic, social, cultural, technical and political which take place across national boundaries. Globalisation supposed to have the potential to generate wealth and improve the standards of living of its people. However the world now is divided into economically advanced countries which take advantage of globalisation and whose economic development is consequently prospering (the north), and countries which lag behind for globalisation (the south). People generally recognised globalisation as the factor of the increased of gap between rich and poor. Therefore ways need to be found to manage and structure globalisation so that it will supports fundamental human rights and sustainable development, and generates prosperity for ordinary people, particularly the poorest.

It has become a buzzword that some will use to describe everything that is happening in the world today.
Globalisation came to be seen as more than simply a way of doing business, or running financial markets - it became a process. From then on the word took on a life of its own
Globalisation has the potential to generate wealth and improve living standards. For those countries with the products, skills and resources to take advantage of the opportunities provided by global markets, the benefits are evident. However there are also significant drawbacks particularly for those nations that don't fall into this category.
Globalisation is generally recognised as having increased the gap between rich and poor. This is because the policies that drive the globalisation process have largely focussed on the needs of business.
A number of key players are driving globalisation. They include
During the world war 2 had shown the effect of the war. Till now, some people are still effect from the war. These shown that even if the
war is over but people will still never forget what had happen during those time. That is why some of the countries in the world had been
keeping low and avoide the war. It is all for just 1 reason.
Globalization is drive that promote a multi- language, culture and race society to us
Globalization will influence the harmonry and cohesion of our society in today's day. As our world is becoming smaller and smaller based on the convenient transportations , people are travelled all over the world to study and work . Thus , most of the prosperous places are existed diffierent language,cultural and race people, Singapore is of them. Obvirously , this will cause the misunderstanding occuring between diffierent language group people. Also, with only one type of language will adversely affect the vistors from other countries. As such , we have to provide a multi-languages to help the vistors to have a better understanding on our society. .
Globalisation in my opinion is something that attracts the attention of the whole world. One latest event is the 'Swine Flu'.
Globalisation doesn't only have negative effects but it sometimes can be something good too. Other than the Swine Flu. One common topic that the whole world talks about is Global Warming. Global warming is the increase in the temperature of Earth. Global warming is caused by the Greenhouse gasses.
The first picture was chosen because it states the effects and causes of global warming...
However, the second picture was chosen because I want to illustrate that the world is on 'fire' and people have to start caring for our planet. With the economic crisis and the virus spreading, the least we could do is to take good care of Earth. And the steps are easy. We don't have to be some scientist or great people to put out this 'fire'. We can help by preventing it from spreading. For example, stop cutting trees; don't dirve, take the pulic transport and stop littering. Al these little things if combined, it makes a great difference.
In my perspective, Globalisation means the international widespread of ideas & activities that has helped in adapting the world to changes.
I have chosen the topic on GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms). A GMO is an organism whose genetic material has been altered through changing it's DNA molecules to either improve it's quality, or to make it more efficient in our lives. Transgenic plants is a very good example. Through genetically modifying it's qualities, agriculture is now more resistant to pests, herbicides, harsh environmental conditions, improved with longer shelflife and it's nutritional value is increased. Farmers all over the world are welcoming this idea because genetically modifying their crops can help them earn more income. Henceforth, with the rising quality of agriculture, the number of consumers have also risen as consumers want better quality food to ensure better health. And now we are also aware of this concept because it proved itself to be a wonderful concept. So to say, the GMO is a good example for explaining Globalization on my part.
