GLOBALISATION is it a MENACE or a BOON??? (τα πλεονεκτήματα- μειονεκτήματα της Παγκοσμιοποίησης αναφερόμενα από Proficiency τάξη)

Some consider it to be a menace in terms of a shrinking world since the majority of national and local governments lose power  for the world government to take over, leaving out political extremism. Additionally, international brand names, dominate in the world market whilst their wiping out the local market of every nation.
     Some others view it as a boon, for the internet contributes to dissemination of news worldwide and to technological advancements in education. Further more, music and film industry promote globally home entertainment. The bottom line is that globalisation can not tame free will.
