Globalization- Fashion industry

Globalization-the growing integration and interaction of societies around the world- has been one of the hotly debated issues over the past years and it has significantly effected all aspects of our life. The good illustration of this, narratively can be seen from fashion industry. A group of teenagers wearing Nike T-shirts are playing over the school yards in a school of London, far away in Tokyo, a men with a magazine which is full of sports brands including Nike, is walking through the shopping mall looking around the same Nike T-shirts . Globalization has made it possible to promote newest style to the whole world at same time and more surprisingly supply products successfully which required from consumers. Therefore, great share of fortune is throughout the world after globalization. However, globalization also resulted fast production of fashion as well as 'fast-fashion' so called disposable fashion in developed countries that lead to increased pollution of environmant. This essay proposes addressing the question of how does globalization effect fashion industry by analysing the benefits of globalization and the result of pollution which fashion industry produced after globalization.

Globalization has brought significant changes, furthermore, great opportunities to fashion industry. In early Victorian era(1837-1860), fashion trend slightly changes yearly only among nations(Pauline, W,T. 2008). However, it has reported that nowadays, fashion trend have brought new styles weekly as generally people would spend more money on it to follow its cycle(Anke, J. 2008). It has not only brought comfort and convenient to consumer but also brought prosperous opportunities to the world market. International trade in garments reached 276 billion dolars in 2005, and this figure is about 2.7 percent of the world's merchandise trade (Plunkett research. 2007).

Exemplification

There are many language families in the world, which generally can be seen from Sino-tibetan languages and germanic languages. The Germanic languages are the languages which are used in mostly European countries, such as English, German, Dutch and Swedish. The Sino- tibetan languages are normally used in East Asia, for instance, Chinese, Tibetan, Thai, and Burmese.

Writing is the method of human intercommunication by means of conventional visible marks. The good illustrations of the writing systems are mainly ideographic and phonetic. The ideographic simply presents meaning by one graphic symbol, and phonetic presents the meaning by its sounds.

Nowadays, learning another languages are a hot issue in educational and business aspect in our life. There are many advantages of learning foreign languages, for example, it helps understanding of another culture, understanding of other attitudes and enables us to understand information in another languages.
