Q. In many different countries, most stores and products are the same. Some consider this to be a positive development, while others consider it negative. Discuss both perspectives and give your opinion?

It is true that globalization has made the world a global village and nations are much more alike than ever before. These days, people can have the same items from any part of the world, use the same technology, build similar buildings, buy suits from international brands, and develop infrastructure that is created and designed by international companies. A number of factors have led to this situation, and this tendency, in my opinion, is very desirable for various reasons.

To begin with, people can buy the goods of the most international brands in their country, since almost all of the world's goods are available in a country where free international trade is allowed. This situation creates a tough competitive environment in the marketplace, and companies are trying to introduce new inventions to attract more people. This way, people get a better selection of products with higher quality and also at an affordable price. For instance, Toyota, a well-known car company in Japan, has many retail outlets in India, and it is much more convenient for Indians to buy these branded vehicles without wasting travel expenses to Japan. Branded suits, cars and other items make people and streets look alike, and I think this reduces discrimination in the world.

Furthermore, today global companies design and build many infrastructures, and they are similar in appearance. In addition, the popularity of Hollywood movies and Western celebrities inspire people around the world to follow a similar fashion trend. It also helps to reduce differences between nations. This is useful for people visiting and living in another county. They don't feel much of a difference in their experience of living in a completely different neighborhood. Again, this trend is driving the migration of people to various places in the world. In addition, it also reduces the adaptation difficulties that people living in a new place usually face. For example, Chinese people can consume their traditional food even if they live in India, England, USA or Australia.

In contrast, globalization, which makes the world look like a global village, often results in the loss of the cultures and diversity of many countries. But given the benefits it brings, we have no choice but to embrace this modern phenomenon. This can negatively impact local businesses due to the greater influence and availability of branded goods among ordinary people. Ultimately, however, local products become better quality and can also spread their business opportunities around the world.

In conclusion, globalization and similar lifestyles in different countries have made life much more luxurious and comfortable than in the past, despite some problems. So I hope that this phenomenon is likely to continue to meet with great acceptance among the people.
