The effects of globalisation in my hometown

Globalisation has helped most of my friends in my hometown to learn the different lifestyles of other people in the world, in those days, it was not so easy for people in my hometown, we just depended on what we knew, in fact the beliefs of the people around here were not good to say the least.

I remember my first visit to the city how I misbehaved in doing certain things, it was like that because none of that was clear to me on how to handle those things, especially that of a ShopRite I visited with my friend, as I was the one who took the lead, I didn't know how to open the entrance door, I had to wait for my friend who was coming at the back to come and open it, when we both went into the shop, we bought some ice cream and left.

But now that kind of thing can no longer be a problem for me or anyone in my locality, because we have seen on TV, through digital satellite, how many people visit so many places and how they tend to handle things there, globalisation brings a good sense of belonging and understanding of things that was not so clear to people living in the rural area like us.

I have witnessed how my uncles still used razors to cut their hair, not because there were no automation machine like the clipper in the market, but because no one taught them how to use it. In my locality, most people were not connected to the global world and tend to do things on their own, but still miss out on what they should do better.

I have heard that learning good things from someone is never a wasted efforts, that's true because, an isolated life is a kind of chained lifestyle that gives the feeling that a person's freedom is being taken away.

Globalisation has brought enlightenment to people in my locality, and today many young people in the neighbourhood have a clearer view of life, they stand up for what is right and also know how to say what is wrong, someone who is nurtured has good intentions, and these good intentions come from being connected to the outside world.

In general, globalisation has created good habits in people's minds in fostering love. In the neighborhood more people now understand that in life supporting one another is a better thing to do, everywhere anywhere in the world is home.
