CPE PRACTICE, ARTICLE | GLOBALIZATION: GOOD NEWS OR BAD? Nowadays, we are quite used to the term globalization. It appears on the new, on the media. However, is it really clear its meaning, when you come to think of it? To which extent is it affecting to us? To put it another way, I am going to use the recent example of coronavirus. Last months, the media did not shut up on talking about this new virus as a possible upcoming pandemic. Every single day there were new cases confirmed and more and more people hospitalised. Nonetheless, these pieces of new came from far away countries whilst in mine there were zero cases confirmed. In my humble opinion, this alarmism was provoked due to an enormous overinformation flow brought by globalization. And this is not the only example about it. What is more, this is truly affecting the global stock markets and bringing some countries to crisis as some global studies confirmed. On the contrary, still talking about coronavirus as an example. I am of the opinion that thanks to globalization, a common solution is going to be found. An exchange of actions and measures have been already exchanged among hospitals all around the world. Not only common help, but also a possible injection might be found by one country and, thus, shared globally since the communication channels that we have nowadays make transportation really fast and simple. Hence, we have to evaluate the positive impact of globalization as well. Taking care about what we are reading and contrasting sources of information in order to avoid falling into bad news is what it should be done by each of us. At the end of the day, we are in charge of our own lives and we have to evaluate personally to which extent is globalization favorable to each of us.
