The Effect of Globalization on Third World Countries (Middle School)

Topic Summary
The objectives of this committee will be primarily determined through the recognition of the influence of first world countries within developing nations. Globalization, over time, has begun to impact ethnic and cultural diversity imposed in various territories, while also presenting various benefits all the same. As a result of a large presence of first world countries, a much larger group of audiences and cultures has been accessed as a result. This often results in the misrepresentation, stereotyping, and the risk of loss in areas of the cultural and intellectual property are some of the prime examples of the negative influences imposed by each. However, there have also been a series of benefits which will equally be discussed.
The debate in favor or against the influences of first world countries within developing nations is ongoing. As globalization provides a stronger collective identity and distinctiveness, it simultaneously leads to misrepresentation and exploitation. Cultural diversity can either be strengthened or targeted and, for this reason, this issue is currently pending, causing major difficulties towards reaching a solution.
In this conference, the delegate must accurately represent their countries position in the topic of globalization and influence, as well as create a solution for the ongoing conflict.
