global communication

Global communication is the process of transmitting and receiving information on a world-wide scale, this is the difinition of the global communication. We know, as the development of science and the progress of our society, global communication is becoming more and more important than what it was. By global communication, different people in different countries can share information with each other. As we all know, each country in the world has their own advantage, only if we have the global communication, each country can learn the advantage with each other. In my opinion, the website, international trade and the science communication are three main points that the global communication have promoted globalization witnessed in the past ten years.

We know that the invention of Internet have already changed the world during the last ten years.


First of all, the website is an essentail way of global communication. Each people from any country of the world can share the information with each other. In this way, it is easy for us to get the knowledge what we want. As we all know, it is hard for us to know all the knowledge by ourselves, so it is necessary for us to search online and get more information. And then it will be easy for us to be success easily.
 
Moreover, international trade is another main point of global communication. In the area of economic, we know that each country is speciallizing in producing their own production. No country is good at producing all the production. So with the international trade with different countries, we can sell the goods which we speciallize and buy the goods of other countries. And in this way, the production efficiency of all the world will increase quickly, each people of the world will benefit from it.
 
The most important usage of global communication is that it can improve the efficiency of the science research. For example, several years ago, the disease of fowl typhoid have appeared at each corner of the world. Many famous doctors and medical scientists tried their best to find the method to solve the problem of fowl typhoid, howover, it is hard for one person to solve the hard work. With the global communication, the medical scientists from different countries get together and share what they have researched together. Finally, they find the new madicine qucikly, and save lots of people in the world.
 
It is easy to see that the international trade, the website, and the science communication totally changed the world during the last ten years.
 
In my conclusion, the website, the international trade and the science communication are three main reasons why the global communication can promote the globalization witnessed in the past ten years. We can image that if we don't have the global communication in the world, each country have to develop by themselves. It is obvious that the development speed for the whole world wil be very slow. Many countries will not have enough development in some area because of the lacking of material and techology.  So in my mind, global communication plays an essential role in globalization witnessed in the past ten years. Each country should pay enough attention to improve the global communication with other countries in the furture.

Outline

Introduction: Global communication is the process of transmitting and receiving information on a world-wide scale, this is the difinition of the global communication. We know, as the development of science and the progress of our society, global communication is becoming more and more important than what it was. By global communication, different people in different countries can share information with each other. As we all know, each country in the world has their own advantage, and they also have their own disvantage, only if we have the global communication, each country can learn the advantage with each other. In my opinion, the website, international trade and the science communication are three main points that the global communication have promoted globalization witnessed in the past ten years.

Body Paragraph:
1. First of all, we can share the information on the website, so it is easy for us to know the world and learn enough experience on the internet.

2. Moreover, international trade is another main point of global communication, by the international trade, we can improve the efficienty of all the world.

3. The most important is that the science communication can help us improve the efficienty of research science. In this way, the society can progress more and more quickly than before.


Conclusion: The website, the international trade and the science communication are three main reasons why the global communication can promote the globalization witnessed in the past ten years. We can image that if we don't have the global communication in the world, each country have to develop by themselves. It is obvious that the development speed for the whole world wil be very slow. Many countries will not have enough development in some area because of the lacking of material and techology. What is more important, if we don't have global communication, we will not establish the relationship with each other, each people can just communicate with the people in their own country, we must be alone. So in my mind, global communication plays an essential role in globalization witnessed in the past ten years. Each country should pay enough attention to improve the global communication with other countries in the furture.
