Globalization Vs Nationalism

Globalization Vs Nationalism

Globalization and Nationalism are said to be the two different parts of the same coin. In a way, both are connected with each other, and still are very different from each other. In the changing world, where world is shrinking with the use of latest technology, people are finding it tough to stay in touch with their own sense of nationalism. Is globalization hurting nationalism? Are we paying a huge cost to become a part of modern and global world?

Globalization

• Globalization is the only way to enhance the trade relations between any two countries. It is the medium to eliminate the global trade barriers.

• Globalization is about the open communication not within the country but across the world. It is uniting the world into a single entity.

• Globalization is not about the cultural imperialism but about the cultural exchange where the different ethnic groups from various companies try to know each other’s culture.

• People can change their perception and habits. It is the impact of globalization. It doesn’t teach them to forgo their patriotism for the country.

• Economic Nationalism gives birth to protectionism that is really harmful for the overall global economy. And if globally economy declines, it will even have the same impact on our country.

Nationalism

• Globalization is destroying the culture and heritage of a number of countries and the ethnic groups surviving in it.

• The greatest negative impact of globalization is seen on the national language. The people who communicate in Hindi are thought to be backward and illiterate.

• West is clearly dominating the entire world. It is killing the nationalism under the shadow of globalization.

• Cultural Imperialism is the drawback arising from the globalization that in a way forces the developing or under-developed countries to follow the ideas and use the products set by the West.

• Globalization leads to a higher percentage if immigration that can have a negative impact on the social structure of the country.

Conclusion

Globalization can reduce the importance of nationalism only if the citizens of country will allow it to happen. Globalization is about the advancement but if the people will confuse the wrong living styles with globalization then they are at fault. Narendra Modi is working on improving the trade relations between the other countries and is using Hindi language for diplomatic talks, giving a clear message to respect the nationalism and be a part of globalization.
