Question

According to the reading by Louisie Shelley, "The Globalization of Crime", how is crime related to globalization? What is one point that you disagree with the author in her explanation of "globalization of crime"? Why do you disagree with them? Explain briefly.

Answer 1

Globalisation definitely is the turning point for several economies and rather international economies too. But we need to concentrate on the point of differences between the global trades and the globalisation to understand clearly what Louisie Shelley says . International trades are not new in the world but that was limited to the business purposes only so on that time it never affected the cultures, societies, food habits and behaviours . Globalisation is the exchange of cultures, food habits , societal status, business and its international scope etc etc but while we put our mind on the word "crime" we may easily feel that crime has increased in manifolds and on concentrating the reason for such we came into conclusion that due to the globalisation entire situations are out of control. Small examples can be taken of a family , that before globalisation male member was for the earning purposes , female members were for the home, she was supposed to take care of home , child, cooking food for the family , but now due to globalisation the scenerios got changed and now the single income of male member is not sufficient to run a family. Thus female member also get involved in the earnings which affected the family, foods etc. There is no time to cook food, or to give time to the children so childrens are also getting brought up in schools with boarding etc without the parental touch almost, which changes their minds and corruption increases. Nowadays, younger generations even dont have the feelings that wheather they are doing the right or the wrong things. Cyber crimes have gone up drastically .

From the economics point of view , globalisation can,t be told as crime but from the social point of view or social psychology point of view it surely can be said that without globalisation there was much lesser crime as observed . Peace in the society, family, mentally was there which has disaappeared almost in this modern era of globalisation , which is really painfull.
