Is Globalization the Only and Sole Factor of Environmental Deterioration?

Globalization is one factor without which we would have been living in quite a different world and I must say in pretty unfavorable and uncomfortable conditions. Man befriended the theory of globalization and almost revolutionized the definition of existence. The global world as the world is referred today is the incredible gift that man has gifted himself with the aid of his intellect, hard work, grit, and determination. Needless to say this village is extremely dear to almost all the human beings. I have used the word 'almost' as there are people who are waging wars in this beautiful village and seem to be heel bent on converting this heaven into a hell. Globalization is a fruit that every single human being is enjoying in some way or the other. However, globalization has left aftermaths that proved to be sort of detrimental to the human habitat. The global village is now threatened by things that were unknown to it some time back. Now man has committed himself to the repair work but how far he will be successful only time will tell.

Globalization is something that we can't do without today. Life will be impossible without science, technology and globalization. Thus the repair measures have to be such that are in sync with this fact. Thinkers have largely put blame on the gifts of the modern world and the gifts of science for bringing the earth to its current sorry state. The conflict between the environmental issues and globalization is a long standing one. Globalization and man's undisciplined and irresponsible acts have been invariably held responsible for the environmental blues that the earth and the living beings on his earth are facing. However, there are other people, who have very strong views against this thinking. For example Indur Goklany in his book, The Improving State of the World: Why We're Living Longer, Healthier, More Comfortable Lives on a Cleaner Planet has tried his best to prove that this conception is nothing but a fallacy. He has put across his point with the help of valid points and charts. He retells how man has made unprecedented improvements by leaps and bounds in the past two centuries owing to globalization. He provides figures to prove how poverty has reached considerable lows especially in China and India because of globalization. He even suggests how to meet the environmental dilemmas faced in the face of globalization. He says that today globalization has made man rich enough to control the environmental damages meted out by globalization in the initial stages. Man has the resources required to invent and discover environment friendly and cleaner technologies. In the coming times the author is optimistic that the things will change for the better.

Things are really in for change with every passing moment. Otherwise some years back who would have thought of buying and selling online. Today even small store owners are looking for e commerce solution providers as they wish to get their presence online. Offshore software development companies offer software development at much cheaper rates which means that you can get your online e commerce web site for as low as 800$ to 15000$ depending on the features you are looking at. By the way e commerce can also said to be a boon of globalization.
