issue 65

The rise of multinational corporation is leading to global homogeneity.Because people everywhere are begining to want the smae products and serives ,regional differences are rapidly disappearing.

请教思路.谢谢!

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.

Thank you for your kind words.

I'm also very glad to discuss these funny and tricky matters with you.

One reason my speed is slow is that I never use template in my practice. Afterall, I still have time to improve my writting.

Wish you good luck in your test and you are great too!!!

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?

gladys

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.
