Pasco – 11503505 A61 “Undeniable Truth: The Global Implications of Colonialism” European colonialism had a “wider coverage than other colonialisms” and as such, it takes into consideration the amount of influence that it dealt to the rest of the world. With the beginnings of capitalism in Europe due to the industrial revolution and with the help of colonialism as the medium of spreading the ideologies which greatly influenced the world “we” live in today. Furthermore, the rise of racial hierarchy and systems came forth from the division of labour within Europe that later spread and applied unto Africa which reflects the reason why discrimination and classifications are apparent when people view other people from across

1. What is globalization? When people of different countries interact with each other, through business or culture or any other means, by which they exchange information, or become acquainted with each other or trade with each other, it is called globalization.
From the 1880s to the 1990s there was a Scramble for Africa, it was known as the imperialist period when Africa was partitioned, invaded and colonized by European powers. Colonialism can be defined as the “practice of domination which involves the subordination of one people to another” (Kohn, 2012). In this case the subordinate group was the Africans.

This sudden interest in Africa by the various European powers were due to a number of reasons.

CONCEPTUALIZING GLOBALIZATION AND DIPLOMACY Although there are series of definitions to this term, three views are considered sufficient to expose the true meaning of the concept. Thus, according to the Online Etymology Dictionary as Retrieved July 7, 2012 by Wikipedia, the term globalization is derived from the word globalize, which refers to the emergence of an international network of economic systems. According to Beerkers, (2004 and 2006) globalization is the world-wide interconnectedness between nation-states becomes supplemented.
I believe that globalisation has changed the nature and scope of cultural and economic power more than it has the nature and scope of political power. Lukes defines power as having “three faces” – decision-making power, nondecision-making power and idealogical power over political agendas, and that if one party has power over another, they are able to influence that party to do something they would otherwise not do (Lukes, 2004.) Scholte defines globalisation as internationalization (a “growth of transactions and interdependence between countries”), liberalization (“a process of removing officially imposed restrictions on movements of resources between countries in order to form an ‘open’ and ‘borderless’ world economy”), universalization
Abstract Globalization infrastructure Global information systems infrastructure is becoming one of the important strategies for any company plans to achieve the success in the business market. For example, a famous successful business such as Amazon website, which designed in the U.S. has to ensure that their computer hardware, software, electronics, connecting to the internet, communications technology, e-commerce and all kinds of e-services are appropriate for international customers. So a major factor complicating the issue of IS development and its success is the globalization of companies. In this paper I will illustrate the major processes of designing, developing, and implementing global information systems.

One major problem or consequence globalization has brought is the increasing internationalization of health risks. Though globalization has many dimensions to be defined with, which includes economic, technological, political, social, scientific and cultural aspects, the links between globalization and health are complex and globalization is a multifaceted phenomenon that can affect health in countless ways. Its consequences can be either direct, at the level of whole populations, individuals and healthcare delivery systems, or indirect, through the economy and other factors, such as education, sanitation and water supply (Woodward et al, 2001).

Globalization has been a revolutionary and beneficial change in both developed and developing states throughout the world. What globalization really provides has been a controversial topic that has been ongoing for years now. Although numerous definitions exist, it can be defined as: “a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology.” The influence of globalization at its core allows markets more freedom, while weakening restrictions from the government. What enables this is the removal of worldwide barriers which further encourages the expanding of an international economic market.
Globalization has a huge impact to nearly every aspect of life in this modern era. Globalization refers to the movement towards a borderless world and the interdependence of global economies. In other words, we can consider globalization as an economic integration of the world through the greater trading, investments, marketing demands and the dispersion of technologies. It involves other aspects of life such as exchanging thoughts and ideas from all over the world and some of the people are also moving to other countries. However, the speed of globalization varies from nation to nation and sector to sector.
