Globalization drives the increase in international trade, encouraging consumption. It results in global economic growth, advancements in technology and telecommunications, allowing the world to be closely connected. However, adverse effects to the environment include accelerating the increase in logging, fishing, deforestation and pollution worldwide.
Chanda suggests that the active involvement and cooperation of all international key players is crucial in reducing the negative environmental impacts. For instance, the Kyoto Protocol has failed to cope with the environmental challenge of globalization largely due to the participating nations' inconsistent efforts to reduce greenhouse emissions. In addition, the top emitter, the United States has refused to participate, minimizing the success of the protocol.
Hi Kelly!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the summary, I think you did well including in all the key points of the article.
Some suggestions though;
1.First sentence, ‘In his article…’ -> In the article – (introducing the article)
2.Second paragraph,first sentence -> it results in global economic growths….
3.Second paragraph 3rd sentence -> I thought the sentence look a bit awkward. I suggest maybe change to, ‘However, globalization also brings negative effects which includes…’
4.Last paragraph -> …. ‘key players are’
I hope this helps!

Hi Kelly,
ReplyDeleteYour summary is very systematic and clear in presenting the author's ideas.
I thought that the use of global economic growth is correct, since its GLOBAL. Unless stated individual countries' economic growths.
PS. Brad mentioned not to use dashes.
Hi Kelly,
ReplyDeleteOverall your summary is rather well done.
There is one part however, which does not flow quite properly.
2nd paragraph "Globalization drives the increase in international trade, encouraging consumption. It results in global economic growth, advancements in technology and telecommunications, allowing the world to be closely connected."
The "It" in the second sentence is rather ambiguous as it seems that the "It" is referring to "increase in international trade" leading to "global economic growth, advancements in technology and telecommunications, allowing the world to be closely connected."
If the "It" is referring to globalization, I think that "It also" would be more appropriate.
