Global Communication

Nowadays, with the rapid development of global communication, more and more people rely on them to know more about the colorful world. There is no doubt that the global communication can bring people varieties of convenience, however, at the same time, global communication has many hidden peoblems which will also affect people’s life.

Global communication has positive impact on education, business and culture. First of all, since the increasing of network teaching, disable people can have more opportunities to learn the same courses as others. Through global communication technology, such as Internet, TV and radio, they can experience unprecedented happiness just for staying at home. In addition, It is more convenient for students to learn new knowledge by using Internet. It not only can save a large amount of time for students to search information, but also can save merchants’ precious time on business meeting, which means that merchants can discuss to each other through network video without finding a specific place to attend the conference. Based on more free exchange of products, merchants will face to more intense competition by using new technology. The last but not least is culture. Language is no longer a huge obstacles between culture and culture. What’s more, since culture has become extensively globalized, the local food, clothes and architecture spread widely to other countries, and most of them have become popular outside.


Global communication not only has advantageous aspect, but also has disadvantageous aspect in education, business and culture. For education, it will increase the opportunities for teenagers to see violent scenes on TV and Internet, and it will harm the physical and mental health of teenagers. Since we have lots of information from various channels, it will give students more opportunities to plagiarize. It is also not safe about commodities trading such as illegal trafficking drug. Besides, economic crisis has higher probability to happen as a result of the more closely interaction and communication between countries. For instance, the terrible economic crisis in 2008, which caused the public to be full with panic and many people lost their jobs in the global scope. Even though, global communication breaks down cultural boundaries around the world, and strengthens the process of cultural globalization, it will bring negative effects on their local cultures. Up to now, more and more original cultures are merged and adapted by foreign cultures. Some unique characteristics of the original cultures even disapear in the history of human civilization.

All in all, global communication is not right or wrong in nature. It just dependents on what people think about it and how people use it. If it is used in good side, it will give the human society and human civilization a big step to cross ahead, however if humans make its development out of control, it would influence many people’s life in a bad way.
