GLOBALISATION

Globalization

Globalization affects employment of Austria:

For Austria the globalisation has one really bad effect, the textile industry is nearly dead.

Because the most companies closed here in Austria and move to a country, like China, which is able to produces much cheaper, than here in Austria.

Multinationals:
In Austria there are many multinational, but I don’t know which companies are the biggest, and so tell you something about Vorarlberg’s multinationals:

· Rauch: In my opinion it is the most famous company in Vorarlberg. Rauch is a great company, which bottles Red Bull and other juices, the juices of Rauch are excellent and the whole world consume products of Rauch.

· Doppelmayr: Is a company, which produce lifts and ski-lifts and these things. The are active in 78 countries and five continents.

· Omicron: Is an electronic-company, which builds electronic things. Omicron is active in the whole world too.

Groups against globalization:
Anti-Globalization:
First I think, no there are no groups against globalization, but I think false. There is one group, but this group isn’t really against the globalisation, but they want the diversity of company to survive. Because they don’t want a company, which grow up to a global power.

Fair Trade:

You can support Fair Trade by buying things, like chocolate, bananas or orange-juice with the Fair Trade signet. These products are produced in developing countries by humans, who get fair money for their work. These product are more expensive than other food, but when you drink a fair trade orange-juice you don’t drink compression or low wages, you drink a fair produced and a high quality orange juice.

That’s a great way to support Fair Trade and that’s important.

My own Opinion:

In my opinion, globalisation is something positive and something important. Because with the planes and the World Wide Web it keeps the world together and I think that’s good, people in the whole world have fun with the internet and for example: my brother studies in china and I couldn’t talk with him without the net.

But not everything is great on globalisation, globalisation has bedsides too.

The greenhouse effect, destroy our beautiful world, which is the most important thing in our live and it’s very difficult to solve this problem.
