So I took the ACT in June and I did okay. However, for the writing part… I just did horrible. :((
I know I need help for English cause I also did bad on my AP Lang exam.
Well, anyways I just need help. I basically tired to practice with one of the prompts from prepscholar.
Here’s the prompt:
Globalization
Many of the goods and services we depend on daily have global sources. Where once you might speak with a customer service representative from across the country about your computer problems, your call now would most likely be routed across the world. In one grocery store, it can be possible to find a mixture of foods from multiple continents. Various pieces of culture can be instantaneously broadcast around the world via the Internet, enabling shared experiences among people of disparate geographic origins. Globalization is generally seen as a sign of progress, but what happens when we replace local interactions with global ones? Given the accelerating rate of globalization, it is worth examining the implications and meaning of its presence in our lives.
Perspective One: Globalization requires a shift in the way we think about other people, other societies, and the world. This is good, because it will push humanity towards previously unimaginable possibilities and achievements.
Perspective Two: Removing geographic boundaries from commerce means that the right people can be chosen for the right jobs at the right price. This efficiency leads to a more prosperous and progressive world for everyone.
Perspective Three: The flourishing of a new, global society comes at the cost of local cultures. Less diversity leads to deficits in empathy and creativity, two of the most defining characteristics of humanity.
And Here’s my essay:
In contemporary society, globalization is seen as a sign of progression that the implications of such rapid interconnection is not considered. The benefits of globalization often overshadow its negative effects. Without globalization would be destructive and dangerous.
The cultural implications of globalization in itself should be enough for people to stop and consider it effects. English-speaking tourists often find that there is no need to learn a foreign language because natives have being exposed to English and have found it easier to abandon their mother tongue in order to facilitate conversation with foreigners. This demonstrates the destruction of native cultures as a result of Globalization. As these cultures disappear and get replaced by an age of globalization, the uniqueness and the diversity of the world diminishes.
Despite these clear drawbacks, globalization is still acclaimed by a majority of the global population. After all, globalization provides future generations with a vast exposure to culture. It even enables people with similar experiences to share their story. In addition, it motivates individuals to work harder in a globally competitive economy. However, with these benefits comes the economic struggles and challenges. The interconnection of globalization would result in the total collapse of the global economy even if only one part of the system experiences obstacles. For instance, in 2008 the American economy faced a depression that also affected the employees in Europe who had lost their jobs. Globalization is crippling the independence of a country’s economy. The only solution to this would be to slow down and consider the implications of further rapid globalization.
Slowing down globalization would not only allow us to consider its impact but it would also give us the ability to reconsider what is at stake as a result of global interdependence, rather than blinding embracing it. Globalization would lead to both destruction of local cultures and the easy degeneration of the global economic system. In the face of these obstacles, it is advisable for human reconsider the path leading total globalization.
