Although the world becoming a global village has been of great importance in terms of creating interconnectivity amongst various people with different backgrounds across the globe, I believe that globalization has caused us to create some kind of shortcomings in cultural diversity. One obvious fact that can be noted is that of job displacement where due to globalization companies who prefer to go to countries where resources or raw material are cheaper, these may end up creating a gap in industry development and job creation since most producers would prefer to move to countries where they have cheaper resources. Hence creating a situation, job displacement gap among the society. The other issue is the negative behavioral influence that is created through interrelation where tourists come from different backgrounds and either adapt to new cultural settings of a different country or the people, the locals of the country rather assimilate wrong behaviors of that of the tourist. This may break down the cultural heritage of the locals may end up.
