Globalization: The Future?

The term globalization stands for the tendency of world views, products, ideas, technology and other types of cultures to spread around the world. The major factors in globalization are the media, telephones and the Internet, that allows us to share almost everything. Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among other people.
there is a high degree of migration and many students are spending time abroad. What impact might this have in the future? 
This is a commonly asked and discussed question today and many people means that this is negative because of job possibilities. Personally I believe that this is a positive change that will unite the world and all of it's countries. I think and hope that in the future the boarders in countries will vanish and receive more refugees in need. Of course this is far from where we are now, but I think it would be an effective way to give help to those in need.

Could this contribute positively to the global society? Will nationality cease to be important? Or will there be a backlash agains the influx of foreign workers and foreign students?

 I personally think globalization contributes mostly positive to our society and here is a list on why:

- It can reduce international poverty.

- Strengthen trade ties of corporations and companies.

- Spreads and share of technology.

- Makes world culture more similar, which can be positive or negative.

- Destroys unhealthy industries in developing countries, such as textile manufacturing, automaking and so on.
- Reduces child labor ad exploitation of poor countries.

Countries are all tied to their culture and traditions. The food, dances, religions, rituals, norms and standards are all parts of creating what we call a nationality. Every nationality is unique and that's an important thing to the world and the people in it. Therefore I mean that nationality will never cease to be important. The different nations might become more similar and cooperate more over the years, but nationality will never stop being important.

Regarding whether there will be a backlash or not, I'm not sure. Of course a more open world and society will give us many more work opportunities, but it can also be harder to find work on some cases.
