So. Globalisation. What exactly does that mean and what are the affects of this word on the average person round the world?

Well lets start with the meaning.

It’s all about how business, technology and everything is connected and grown globally. What were once small businesses have evolved into massive corporations, cultures that were separated are now being integrated, research and development has sped up and brands have become household names all over the world where before they were limited to their home nation.

That’s the basic meaning of globalisation and it has resulted in some very different outcomes.

A few decades ago business, compared to today’s, were relatively small and everyone had a fair bite at the cherry. The chief executive or managing director would have responsibility for the running of things and that would be reflected in a higher salary but it was often limited to a ceiling of only ten times what the average worker received.

Technologies changed slowly so one could get used to products and information gradually and get full use from those things before the next generation came to market.

People worked, played, and lived locally and local trades and businesses could thrive and the markets for housing were affordable and set by local incomes.

Society was safer and more caring as communities grew up together, education and morals were greater and life in general was far less complicated and stressful.

Today we see mass exploitation, over inflated house prices, an ignorant youth (who can hardly read and write let alone work), corporate and international corruption in almost every field of business and faceless organisations which take little or no responsibility for their actions.

The chief executive or managing director can receive two or three hundred times what the average worker receives but want to take less accountability. The workers are squeezed from all directions through bullying, low wages, migration and economy drives.

The banking crisis and subsequent crash saw businesses and corporations cut back on their running costs but never did we see senior management or the very people who caused the problems suffer; in fact most grew fatter off the exploitation by using excuses of saving money and cutting waste when still spending (more quite often) on pointless clipboard missions and state of the art office blocks.

Time will tell and often one’s campaign game is totally different to the reality of how things are run or will be managed. This can be said, as an example, about Mr Donald Trump. He delivered a bigoted, brash, ludicrous and offensive campaign but managed to take one of the world’s most responsable  and influenceable jobs. Many will have opinions and fears about this position of president but how many have independently listened to  his game plan after election?

The Hillary Clinton package would have been fine for her rich cronies and powerful counterparts but would have done little to change the lives of the masses. She was caught out and the comeuppance of her actions led to her loss.

The world needs change and needs shaking out of this time-bomb attitude that will have no choice but to explode. We need champions and a different way of looking at how we do things like never before. We need radical ideas and reforms.

This attitude that globalisation is working and is good is the very thing that will see devastation in the not to distant future.

The world cannot carry on with a few commanding the wealth while the rest are left fighting for scraps off the castle floor.

When the average bod cannot afford the next Iphone,  new car, plush sofa, labelled clothes and the holiday abroad what do they think will happen? Demand goes down so less are made. Result, fewer jobs, less profit and subsequently the downward spiral will start as each level will see less and less and casualties will undoubtedly will be left.

The, already, super-rich won’t care because they will sit lording it from their ivory palaces. It’s the new management and work force that will suffer and its this generation that has to roll out change or embrace the new ideas from the brave and, possibly insane, ones who want to do things differently.

Globalisation, corporate ignorance and greed cannot carry on for much longer before the bubble has to burst, but what will be the outcome is anyone’s guess. So before you dismiss Donald Trump, Nigel Farage, Theresa May and such-like names we should give them a chance. The world can’t get much more disastrous than it already is.

I know many will disagree with these words and I have only picked up on a few aspects of the title of the article but these are my opinions today (with hindsight and more information and action I may change my stance) and I am open to other’s views.

Thanks once again for reading if you have got this far.
