More and more international non-government organisations have sprouted throughout the world as a result of globalisation. However, their effectiveness are still being disputed.
Some non-government organisations are being secretly funded by government organisation. In return, they help these government to promote its cause or act as a "propaganda machine"
As the world goes global, it is inevitable that more NGOs or "Gongos" would be set up. It would be hard to differentiate which organisation is governmental ot non-profit. A self-proclain NGOs may be secretly handling funds from a different organisations. The term NGO, in the future may not relevant anymore if people continue to doubt the so called NGOs.

'Int'l cooperation must in fight against terrorism'
http://www.turkishdailynews.com.tr/article.php?enewsid=73196
Globalisation has brought up the rise of terrorism across the globe and security across the world has increasingly become less efficient.
First of all, globalization denotes that a state can no longer control non-physical security aspects, such as protection of information and technology. Confidential state affairs may risk being leaked out to terrorists. The advancement of communication technologies also has its vital effects towards terrorism. Different groups of terrorists, across different nations, can now planned their attacks more efficiently and quickly. The use of internet or other communication media also allow the ideologies and indoctrination of terrorist groups to broaden out at a faster rate. In this way, more people will be obliged to follow its beliefs and join them in their terrorist activities. As globalization created negative consequences and marginalization of some groups and global social and economic inequalities, terrorism will also gain more support from many marginalized people in different nations and will go about on a global scale.
Therefore, only through the help of international organization and the cooperation of various states, international security could be assured. However, the problem of compromising among different nations is still prevalent and will proved to be a stumble block to international peace.

im a theif? of what!?
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY IS WHAT!
with globalisation and technological advancement, it is getting easier and easier to steal intellectual property. the internet for exampls is the main cause here. with the globe being able to put its intellectual resources into the form of data on the internet, this property can be stolen and distributed as easily as a press of a button (literally). with sites such as youtube.com and other online video sites, more people can benefit from the free videos online. but if the videos are licensed and uploaded elsewhere where the site allows licensed property to be viewed or downloaded, theft of intellectual proerty is commited.
the-not-so-long-ago craze of downloading music for free from illegal programs such as the OLD NAPSTER have caused a sensation in the world about intellectual property rights and awareness. the modern world now knows that theft of intellectual property is forbidden in all countries. this theft is made easier by websites which provide a medium for people to transfer files, which people can upload data and other people can download, such as Rapidshare and SendSpace. with such activities going on in the net, people might even steal your photo off your MSN display picture and use it!
watch out, world.

Information in the Information Age
To survive in the competitive world of coporate industries today, much information and technology is needed (IT) to excel and out perform other companies. this leads to another industry that is coined the Information Industry. for manufacturing companies, the speedy access to massive amounts of information has led to the increase in quality and quantity of products. multi-national companies can now receive orders from around the world and reply to them the same day, which improve efficiency.
Expanding technology has a significant effect on almost all industries. the changing nature of work can be seen from areas like design, manufacturing quality, in offices and in transportation, communications, health care and retail services. computer-based companies now need to provide computer training to use computerized equipment in manufacturing. multi-national companies will employ this, thus many people from all over the world are familiar with this system of manufacturing, which is considered globalisation
As technology advances, better goods and services are available and in demand. to fulfill the world's demand for service, goods and others, workers who are trained in the skills that can provide such goods and services are more in demand. although a company may suddenly need people trained in new methods, the technology itself may lessen the number of workers needed. technology is truly making our world smaller even in industries.

globalization is an effective way to drive off poverty-wenqi
With the development of the global economy, globalization has become the mail subject in the world and globalization has become an effective way to improve local economy. So my opinion is that globalization is an effective way to drive off poverty. My ideas are as follows:
First: globalization will lead to the development of global economy and interflowing technology and improve the capacity; there will be more goods and high-tech uses. All of these would contribute to driving off poverty.
Second: with the development of the global economy, globalization has become the mail subject in the world. Some important organizations must be set up during the development of globalization. They will supply many loan and money to poverty, and help their economic development.
Third: globalization would also lead to the investments.
Fourth: global is made of the local, so the result of globalization would be good for the local economy.

Global Climate Change-- Yichen
This is the picture of overview about the global climte change.Firstly, the earth obtains energy from the sun in the form of shortwave solar radiation. About 30% of this energy is reflected back into space. The rest pass through the atmosphere as light energy and is absorbed by the earth’s surface. Then this incoming light energy is absorbed by the earth’s surface. When the earth warms, it emits its own energy, in the form of longwave infrared radiation, or simply called heat energy. And some of this heat energy is reflected back towards the earth by greenhouse gases.
Due to the globalization, the use of vehicles and airlines to transport people increases, which will emitted a lot of greenhouse gases. It enhances greenhouse effect due to these increased amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Hence more of the outgoing infrared radiation is trapped in the atmosphere. This upsets the natural balance in energy transfers and causes the Earth’s average temperature to rise. And some areas experience cooling as extreme weather patterns cause higher amounts of precipitation.

Globalisation threatens islam (politics)
http://www.manilatimes.net/national/2007/may/06/yehey/opinion/20070506opi4.html
As democracy spreads across the world and human rights as the constant focus by international rights organization, radical Islam is being criticised for violation of women's rights. In our globalised world, the idea of Islam being a primeval and uncivilised religion is brought across the globe. Through political influence, which is no longer confined to a nation, political ideologies are being adopted by other countries. This caused, not only political decisions to be affected, but also cultural aspect of a nation.
Hence, the spread of political ideologies across nations, affects the politics of a nation. The radical change in politics could also bring about adverse results in various sectors, like media and religion. Therefore, the shift in political ideas should not be regarded as merely a change in political tactic, but also a change in the way the state run and influence the country and its people.
Globalisation sparked a lot of radical changes in national politics across the countries. Ideas of state or an individual may be adopted by other states. Hence, one must also consider its impact on the economy, media, as well as culture. Political ideas may spark off a chain of reactions which acts on tradition and beliefs of a country.
