Globalisation Discussion

Bunty n Bilal are having a discussion if the issue globalistion is good or not!!!

Bunty- Well bilal, you know about INDIA's growing economy, don't you? It's developing ever since 1990, becoming the worlds second fastest growing major economy, marking itself on the map. It surprises me you know...

Bilal- So wots your point?

Bunty- Well Bilal, lets look at TESCO (every lil elps) It has opened its many branches in INDIA.

Bilal- What does it mean for us, or for the nation of India?


Bunty- Well the main thing is, people are employed and so people will be making money. They can improve thier standard of living, and reshape der lives. and for us ,well our British Supermarket is expanding itself.

Bilal- But Bunty dont you see, why the hell has TESCO opened its stores in India??? Cheap labour i guess, but most importantly its trying to act as a monoply.

Bunty- Nothing to do with Cheap Labour!!! TESCO only wants to reach an international market. by provding a good product or service

Bilal- i get you, but its wrong. TESCO here in the UK are breaking other competitors market, and making us go and consume TESCO's products, which doesnt leave us a choice man. Tesco's globalistion can affect the UK, so can affect India. As TESCO is a well known brand in the UK, the India's nation would start consuming from TESCO as they have heard the big name internationally. This would break the market of local grocery stores n supermarkets in india. and Bunty not only does Tesco sell groceries but everything you can think of, e.g. Electricals??? What would happend to other companies in India. Here in the UK while people buy thier groceries at tesco, they tend to look at non-food stuff..like clothes. What would happen to high street labels??? I think its bad of TESCO to globalise itself

Bunty- Bilal TESCO is growing, y? coz its in demand, people/consumers want TESCO to be there. So it will cater for international market

Bilal- But India for example will face the same issues we are facing today. TESCO feeds the market with ideologies, which the market accepts. This is wrong, the consumers dont have a variety of choices to make. Have you seen Tesco's Price Comparison feature, well isnt that wrong, i mean clearly if TESCO is selling its product or service cheaper than any other firm/supermarket, then who will the cusotmer go to? Tell me!!! Tesco can mark itself on the world map by providing the products and services it produces to the international market, but if we started seeing Tesco everywhere, then we wont see any new culture, new foods etc etc
What happend to our Pluralistic society, where we have choices to choose from. Like shopping at Sainsbury would never be possible unless they do the same or cheap deals. We are clearly becoming submissive Bunty...JUST GO HOME n sleep!!!
