Answer 1

1] Globalization in a broad sense is the process or processes that increase the movement of people, culture, technology, ideologies, and information across the world. As the world continues to turn, either becoming more integrated or falling out of the integrated state people, culture, technology, objects, ideologies, and information across the world all happen to converge together and mash-up. Everyone will realize how global their lives are, from knowing a handful of the words to “Gangnam Style,” to know where the everyday products they use have employed workers on the other side of the world.

2] Globalisation describes the advancement of the global integration of the economy, culture, and political structures. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of policy goals that attempt to implement the principle of sustainability on the economic, social, and ecological levels in every country of the world. The more integrated environmental and trade policies are, the more sustainable economic growth will be and the more globalization can be harnessed for the benefit of the environment.

3] The SDGs provide worldwide guidance for addressing the global challenges facing the international community. It is about better protecting the natural foundations of life and our planet everywhere and for everyone and preserving people's opportunities to live in dignity and prosperity across generations. The beauty of the goals is that everyone can contribute, and every contribution, small or big, will make an impact on our world. In our industry, we have seen how the goals have shaped the business environment, and for the better. The Paris Agreement alone has helped open up US$ 23 trillion in business opportunities for emerging markets for climate-smart investments.’

4] Advantages

Conceiving sustainable development will accelerate the activities for saving a country's economy.

Since sustainable growth promotes a country's own traditional practices of agriculture, the backbone of an economy will stay strong.

This value-based living creates awareness of the dying earth.

This prevents the overutilization of natural resources underneath the earth.

Disadvantages

A country that promotes globalization will be affected.

In this fast-growing era, development practices like defense may not be compatible. A country's strength cannot be measured in any particular way.
