Globalization

Globalization is a process of cultural, economic, biological or political integration where usually developing countries are influenced by developed ones.
There are contradicting opinions regarding globalization. Some social scientists believe that globalization will ultimately lead to a perfect world society, Utopia. On the other hand, others believe that it will harm the less economically developed cultures. So that’s the reason why the globalization has it controversy.
In fact, it seems to have an old history which can be traced to 320 BCE, when the Maurya Empire in India has been established. It has developed the international commerce between Asia and Europe, so certainly it is referred to the economic and social globalization.
As we can see, globalization has its advantages and disadvantages, just like anything else in the world. Let’s begin by the advantages, as we can watch televisions and hear radios all over the world we do exchange different cultural between many people in different continents. In addition, through internet people now can talk and chat and share different thoughts of different cultures and also can go into the market and do the commerce between them. Also due to the immigration in different nations and marriage between people from different countries increase and create traditional cultures.
On the other hand, the exchanging of factories might influence negatively on the environment, which might be the major disadvantage of globalization.   
  From my point of view, I do not think or believe that globalization can block or impede the development of developing countries but actually by contradictory it will improve and facilitate for those countries to develop much more and faster, as we said some of the advantages of the globalization.
In my opinion, benefits of the globalization can’t be counted. It totally helps a country under development to develop and earn a higher position such in economics and cultural and political.

Winter vacation.

 Apparently in Dubai, winter doesn’t really exist even though in one of the coolest months of the year, January.  This was where I had my amazing vacation and had so much fun with my parents and my brother and my baby sister in Dubai. In this post, I would like to share my wonderful time at that Arab country called Dubai, but first of all, I’ll discuss the major issue we had at the airport in Egypt before traveling. We went on the 30th of December at 8’o clock to the Egyptian airport to check in for our flight which was at 10’o clock, the staff of Egypt Airlines couldn’t accept us to check in because of a missing word in my mom’s visa. It was all about my sister’s name on my mom’s visa was missing so there was the major issue, after a while they’ve told us to contact the hotel and tell them to send us the right visa for my sister. Under stress, we couldn’t reach a solution before the flight, but then we contact the hotel for several times and at the end we received the right paper, my dad re-scheduled our flight to the next day at 9’o clock in the morning. After we solved this problem it was 3 and we didn’t see a point of carrying the language home so we checked in and we waited the flight of the next day, in fact we stayed 14 whole hours at the airport, it was a hectic day. But that didn’t have a major influence on our beautiful trip. We made lots of activities there and we had so much fun. My parents dropped me and my brother into that attraction park called “Ferrari world” where we had so much fun ridding lots of different rides and especially riding the fastest rollercoaster on earth there. We also went to one of the biggest water parks called Atlantis, me and my brother rode most of the biggest slides there where we go between sharks and fish, this was an amazing thing to do also.  In fact, we also went to a friendly match between Ac Milan and Paris Saint Germain which I found was amazing watching all superstars playing in front of me and especially I’m into soccer. And we also went shopping for many days. I was surprised by the development of an Arab country, everything was clean even the streets and they have everything planned and organized, and they have queues not like in Egypt. I was also surprised by watching everyday magnificent cars, as you can see in this photo a Ferrari. In conclusion, it’s a well-structured country and organized and I wish Egypt become like them. At the end I had so much fun during this trip to Dubai.
