juries and MC who have given me opportunity to deliver an English speech in front of you all. In this
golden opportunity, I would like to deliver a speech about “Globalization Era”.

Ladies and Gentlemen


As we all know, nowadays our world is in globalization era. We often hear it. However, what is
globalization? Globalization is the process of transformation of local or regional phenomena into
global or international phenomena. This process includes transformation of economic, technological,
socio-cultural and political forces. In other words, every country in this world can influence other
countries. Because of globalization, this world which consists of many countries is like “a global
village”. This term refers to the fact that people are considered to live in this planet without borders
dan without limitation. People are able to access any kinds of information easily. There is no difficulty
to communicate and there is no barrier to interact with other people from all over the world.

Globalization has various aspects which affect the world, such as: in industry, finance, economy,
politics, technology, and socio-culture. If our country wants to survive in this globalization era, we
must be smart. We should take all of the positive effects of globalization but not the negative ones.
For example: we need to adopt and learn high technology from developed country in order to develop
our country. On the contrary, we must not imitate bad attitudes or behaviors from other countries like
free sex and drugs abuse.

It is a fact that there are many challenges in globalization era. It cannot be denied that globalization
is related with a competition and ability to survive. The question is, what should we do in order to
face the globalization era? The first one is, build up and strengthen good characters based on the
religion. If we are Moslem, the guide of our lives is Islam. Second, we must master technology in
order to develop our country. The last, always be ready to face any kinds of change and competition
by preparing and upgrading our skills.

The effect globalization is like two sides of a coin which is never be separated. Globalization not
always brings some benefits. The fact, if we are not strong enough to filter the effect of globalization,
our local identity will vanish from the world. We as young generation of this country should take this
matter seriously. With conserving our traditional cultures and doing good deeds as they was taught
by our religion, we can stand still and survive as a country which never lose the local identity because
of globalization. That’s all my speech. Hopefully, it will be useful for all of us. Thank you very much
for your attention.

Wassalamu’alaikum Wr. Wb.
