(IELTS Academic – 19/4/2022)
ANSWER (8.0):
It is argued that the proliferation of global corporations and internationalization offers benefits to all people. I strongly agree with the aforementioned statement because of reasons relating to a higher level of employment and enhanced cross-cultural communication skills.
One legitimate reason to support this trend is that it brings more job opportunities for local people. Since international firms, which open their branches in different countries, require a high level of workforce, they will need to recruit more local employees to operate the business. As a result, the natives are offered a decent occupation with lucrative incomes to cover their living expenses and in some cases, spend more generously on their shopping. For example, Samsung, a renowned Korean technology corporation, has created a large number of jobs for Vietnamese since 2018, through cooperating with the local government to successfully tackle the high unemployment rate in Vietnam.
Another major aspect is that people have a chance to develop multi-cultural communication skills as globalization is promoted. On a personal level, it is now easy for workers to learn about foreign cultures and customs, enabling them to acquire more knowledge and insight into varying international practices. As they are exposed to cross-cultural diversity in their working environment and society, they would become more able to show their empathy and tolerate cultural differences. At the company level, globalization leads to a more diverse range of potential business partners and diversifies their investment portfolios, which contributes to their profit generation. Therefore, having global partnerships is essential for businesses to compete in the growing international market.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that this trend is a positive development for every individual since it offers more jobs in local areas and stimulates better cross-cultural communication. Therefore, the government should encourage the process of globalization and multinational companies setting up in their countries.
