Part Three Text Appreciation 3.1 Theme

Globalization is a double-edged sword; it poses a daunting question for mankind in the 21st century. 3.2 Structure

I. Introduction (paras. 1-2): Globalization is a double-edged sword, a daunting question of the

21st century.

II. Argumentation (paras. 3-33)

A. advantages (paras. 3-17) B. disadvantages (paras. 18-33)

III. Conclusion (para. 34): promise vs. peril 3.3 Detailed Analysis Part I: Introduction

1. What is globalization?

the integration and democratization of the world’s culture, economy, and infrastructure through transnational investment, rapid proliferation of communication and information technologies, and the impacts of free-market forces on local, regional and national economies .

the increasing interconnectedness of nations and peoples around the world through trade, investment, travel, popular culture, and other forms of interaction (Encarta 2006) 2. Why does the author claim globalization as a “double-edged sword”?

3. Is this a new idea to you? What else do you know about its “double edges”?

This is quite a new idea when the text was written: in 1999, at the threshold of a new century. The other edges include, for example, facilitate exchanges between people across the world (goods move, ideas move, and cultures change), the political aspects in World Government, ecological and environmental impacts…

4. What is the daunting question of the 21st century? Why is it daunting? Have you felt daunted

about it before?

It is daunting because it is possible that the great changes brought by globalization would threaten everything in the world.

Words & Expressions

on the edge: close to the point at which sth different, esp. sth bad, will happen e.g. Their economy is on the edge of collapse. She is on the edge of despair.

But from where we stand, they appear to be teetering on the edge of financial—and

societal—disaster.

Part II: Argumentation A. Advantages

1.In what ways is globalization a trendy word for an old process?

2.What is the critical respect that differs globalization from its old process? Part II (A): Words & Expressions

champion v.to publicly fight for and defend an aim or principle, movement or person, such as the rights of a group of people

e.g. She championed a just cause. B. Disadvantages

Part II (B): Discussion

? What is the FIRST problem of globalization?

economic instability

1. How does the author argue this?

2. What is the author’s opinion towards the outbreak of financial crisis in South-East Asia? Do

you agree, disagree or partly agree? Why?

Investment fund not well used, trade flows become too lopsided (para. 19); crony capitalism, inept government investment policies and excess optimism, misuse of investment. (para. 21) 3. Do you agree with the author that it is the “astonishing US economy” that prevented Asia crisis

from becoming a global economic depression? Why? 4. How would you judge his opinion?

Pro-west point of view. → more views on Asia crisis

The cry of “crony capitalism” as the cause of the Asian crisis is no longer very convincing after the crisis spread to the non-Asian world and the irregularities of American business and accounting practices are also exposed.

China, India, Vietnam and Cambodia were not affected by the Asian crisis as much as the Republic of Korea and ASEAN4 (Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia). This is not because the productivity and institutions of the first group were superior, but because they did not open up financially.

5. What are the reasons for economic instability?

The banking problem and the lack of proper bank supervision.

Pre-modern corporate sector: non-transparency, family dominance, non-separation of ownership and management, archaic accounting, etc.

Unhealthy relationship between government and big business.

Too much dependence on exports (especially on US markets and IT devices). Political backwardness and lack of true democracy. The real cause was the structural weaknesses of the → developing economies in East Asia.

? What is the SECOND problem of globalization?
