The Effects of Globalisation on my Life

Globalization effects on many aspects of the media in terms of internet and TV. The effects would be both sides of negative and positive one.
Firstly, I use internet as a device to keep in touch with friends who are in abroad and family living in Korea. What about news, I am able to have hot news happened in the world immediately as they edit on there website. Globalization also influenced on TV programs. In fact, one program which succeeded in a country not only become popular in their country but also become most popular program in the world, such as "ugly betty" I can watch that program in New Zealand and Korea too. Furthermore, more than quarter of items in a TV news program in Korea are relevant with international news rather than be dominated by home events. It provides a good opportunity that I am able to have an outlook of the world objectively. On the other hand, globalization in the media has some side effects in terms of too much violence and sexuality for young generation.
However, there are some problems of effects on the media by globalization, noting is more common than we are living in the same planet.

Class report

There are three numbers of figures that I researched in different experience in our classmates. Before presenting this figures, I want to inform that the result was researched except the experience that from their own countries to New Zealand. Firstly, over 73% of classmates have travelling either overseas or domestic area. There are roughly half numbers of students have been to other countries in terms of Asia, Europe. On the other hand, 11 of 15 people have travelled domestic area. According to the research only one person never has been to anywhere else. As the result, our classmates studying at Stream A love travelling.

About Me

Hi buddies

I would like to introduce myself friends!
I come from Korea. I grew up in Seoul which is the capital city. Five years ago, i came to New Zealand with dreams. Before coming here, i had had PR, then i had citizenship two years ago. Now i live in Blockhouse Bay. NZ is the best place to play golf, so i love playing golf. I have been married for nine years but unfortunately i have not had children before i heard a news from the hospital. Luckily, my wife is having babies. Next month i will be a father of twin. i expected that they would be girls but they are boys. I am very happy anyway. Before coming to NZ, i had been working for a pharmaceutical company for four years. Also I have work experience in NZ. From 2005 i have worked for a travel company as an account manager until last month. It was a very good opportunity that i could make good money but it was not everything that i could be satisfied. So i decided to change my career for the rest of my life. From the next year i am going to study nursing at UNITEC. English is the toughest thing that i have to challenge in my life. I had been studying English for one semester in 2005 then i got certificate in English(advance). It was all of my studying English so far in NZ. One of my hope is traveling all of the world. Anyway whether it would be possible or not. I have been to Taiwan and Philippine for business trip, Canada for honeymoon then have been to Japan for holiday last year. I hope that every classmates would be succeed in studying English so that we could be the one what we want to be.



Best regard
