Global Knots

I am talking about term globalize or going global or people say world getting together. Some scholars were of view that globalization could change the world. But, at the same time some were against globalization. So when the fight between these two groups started it led to the victory of former group. World has become globalized and the group for the motion is happy. I think the warnings of other group was not at all illusionary. They are surfacing in many countries and at places, they are showing or they may show their darkest part. What has gone wrong, where things are going out of control? These situations make me think of web where some wires have knots and these knots are leading to new situation which we can call "Global Knots".



These global knots are the flash points and people may see these knots as start of dooms day for globalization. I see it as opportunity to start with. These knots are bonds between the least developed and most developed human beings. We can say bond between least connected and highly connected beings. Why these knots are developing this should be the main concern for all of us. These knots are developing in surging economies developed economies and least developed or underdeveloped economies. These are flash points which should be handled with utmost care. Since being Indian, I have seen drastic changes which have occurred in last few years of my life in this part of sub continent. Most of the times, I am amazed with the pace of things going around me and my country. When I am talking about India I cannot forget China also. Both the economies are growing at neck breaking speed. Both are prime targets of western economies. I am naming these two because both are also part of global knots. People and organizations of both countries are flashing on Forbes list now and than every year. But, knots are also developing here at same speed between rich and poor. We can say speed of developing knots between two (Rich and Poor) is directly proportional to the pace of developing economy. The birth of this situation can be attributed to three P’s (3P’s) people, politics and population. These 3P’s should be coordinated in right manner and we can see unwinding of these knots.

At Marco level these knots are also affecting larger economies such as America. Recent clouds of recession which are looming largely on America are the bi product of these knots. These signs were visible enough to tackle with in early days also but greed versus risk theory came in front of 3 P’s. They started negating each and every sign for fulfilling greed. In the same manner Europe is struck. Now, Federal bank is pressing panic buttons thousand of people have lost their jobs and properties and many others are still getting kicks of this bad situation. This doesn’t means India and China have got immunity to this liquidity crunch which America is facing right now. Here also they are trying to fight with rising inflation which can lead cooling off the pace of growth.


These all situations are taking birth due to knots in the web of globalization. These knots are big business opportunities. Because these knots are flashing continuously thus easy to find among many economies and globalize world. They are hiding immense opportunities in them in developed, developing as well as least developed countries. We should regularly innovate new business models which include left out people to unwind these knots. There is immense opportunity for cost cutting by using man power in developing and least developed countries and thus feeding unnourished people. By understanding the needs and wants of these left out people which I may call gold under the heap. By taking them to mainstream and making a better planet to live and enjoys. In this way we will unwind Global Knots and carve a bond between all human beings

its a nice term" global knotes" but i wanna tell u one thing that these so called GK are outcome of its parent company i.e Globalization. its true that no economy in world can live in isolation these days. every country is affected by the happenings occuring thosands of thousands of Km away from the domestic boundaries. so these GK are imp though sometimes these prove to be negative, like you quoted the example of USA.

Globalization is not a new wave which started to show it's signs lately. It came during 1980' era that Globalization is viewed as a centuries long process, tracking the expansion of human population and the growth of civilization, that has accelerated dramatically in the past 50 years.
Majorities around the world believe economic globalization and international trade benefit national economies, companies, and consumers. But many think trade harms the environment and threatens jobs and want to mitigate these effects with environmental and labor standards.

Very well written !! sorry I didn't read it a year ago. : )

A web without knots cannot be possible thus globalisation has to have implications. But it's human nature.. it is bound to happen.
But your article is spot on.
