不同意
首先让步,multinational corporation是促成了全球统一化.
However,这并不能造成disappearing of regional differences,相反还有可能导致区域差别更明显.比如,多国合作的分工使得有些地方成为原料产地, 有些地方成为劳动力市场,而有的地方,是产品主要消费市场.

Stance: I agree that global homogeneity is a mega trend nowadays but there are more than one
contributing factors.

Reasons:
(1)The proliferation of multinational corporations in both developing and developed countries facilitates the production and distribution of standardized products and services.(Say, computer software, Hamburg etc. )
(2)The advancement of transportation enables the efficient delivery of goods to every corner of the world.
(3)The advent of Internet promotes the cultural assimilation.
(4)The mass media plays an increasingly important role in global homogeneity.
For example, we are overwhelmingly welcome the western value and culture.

I think that the first reason is ok ,but other reasons might be far beyond the topic, that is "the rise of multinational corporation is leading to global homogeneity." What do u think?

作者: gladys 时间: 2003-3-6 18:20

I had the same thought at first.

While, sometimes, I'd like to be a little bit liberal while practising.

To play it safe in the real test, I do think we should primarily focus on the the results brought by the multinational corporations.

In fact , it is not easy when i tried to write this issue. Tomorrow I will post what i wrote to further discussion.

To Joy,

You are so diligent! I believe your efforts will definately pay off.

Recently there is a debate over whether the rise of multinational corporation is leading to global homogeneity. Different people hold different views from their distinct aspects. Some people assert that multinational corporation plays an important role in bringing out global homogeneity, while other claim that not the rise of multinational corporation, but rather other factors such as mass media and internet, cause the global homogeneity. As a matter of fact, the issue of whether the rise of multinational corporation is leading to global homogeneity is a complex and controversial one, thus, actually the final judgment should rely on a case-by-case analysis. As far as I am concerned, I believe that the international corporation is playing increasingly important role in global homogeneity. My view can be greatly confirmed by the following discussion.

In the first place, the important reason that can be presented to develop my position is that the proliferation of multinational corporation in the developing and developed countries facilitates the production and distribution of standardized products. To illustrate this point, we can see the example that is very persuasive. Microsoft, the giant of software world, creates several softwares each year. In every corner of the world, we can see that the people will use the computers equipped with Window 2002, 2003 or other software products of Microsoft, no matter where they are. In this case, it is obvious that the standardized software products of Microsoft that dominate the world have caused the trend of global homogeneity.

In addition, there is another reason for me to choose this statement. The standardized services of multinational corporation will result in the global homogeneity. The most famous example of the standardized services is Kenducky, one of the biggest fast-food chain. When you enter the Kenducky in the United States, in China or in other parts of the world, you can not only enjoy the delicious fried chicken, but also enjoy the kind and help yourself service. Therefore, this help yourself service is the symbol of this biggest fast-food chain, thus bringing out the global homogeneity.

Finally, the advent of internet and mass media promotes the cultural ethics of the multinational corporation, thus promoting to global homogeneity. Thanks to the development of the high-technology, we can browse the website of multinational corporation, thus learning out the cultural ethics of the multinational corporation. In addition, we can sit at home while watching TV, experiencing the rich cultural ethics of the multinational corporation. For example, even in China, we can sit at home and watch “Economic Forum” in which the CEO of Nokia is introducing the cultural ethics of his own company. Therefore, the commonly-used internet and mass media will introduce the cultural ethics of the multinational corporation, thus resulting in the global homogeneity.

As I mentioned above, one the hand, the standardized products brought from the multinational corporation contribute to global similarity. On the other hand, the standardized services of multinational corporation will cause the global homogeneity. In addition, the cultural ethics of the multinational corporation promotes the global homogeneity. Therefore, we can safely arrive at the conclusion that the rise of multinational corporation will contribute to global homogeneity.
