Week 5 Summary Assignment: The Double Edge of Globalisation (draft 1)

The article states that globalisation commits to the destruction of environment. International trading brought by globalisation promotes consumerism, resulting in increased skidding throughout the world, such as fishing, deforestation and expansion of factories. In fact, pollution generated by one country passes on to other countries, especially in the case of air pollution. Although globalisation is not the sole factor of global warming, it serves as a catalyst. However the situation is not as bad as it seems, provided that there is effective global governance. The current system is inefficient in controlling the situation, and crucial parties are reluctant or incompetent to contribute their power. Non-governmental organisations’ efforts are remarkable, but the cooperation between global forces in addressing environmental problems is still of utmost importance.
