Is Globalisation a good or a bad thing?
Introduction
Before moving to the main points, I’d like to give you an outline of my assessment.
Initially, I’ll start by exploring the meaning of Globalisation and I will give some example of how it affects us.
Thereafter, I will explain and clarify you what are the positive and negative impacts of Globalization.
Finally, I will give my personal opinion about Globalization and a conclusion will be reached.

Globalisation has resulted in many businesses setting up or buying operations in other countries. Companies that operate in several countries are called multinational corporations (MNCs) or transnational corporations (TNCs). The US fast-food chain McDonald's is a large MNC - it has nearly 30,000 restaurants in 119 countries. Other examples of MNC/TNC are Shell, Nike, and Coca Cola.

It also can help those in LEDCs to develop in economics by international trade. Despite this, Globalisation operates mostly in the interests of the richest countries, which continue to dominate world trade at the expense of developing countries. The role of
