The advancement in technology and economy has created major changes in modern
society. One of these changes is globalization. As we know, globalization has affected
the world in many ways. First it served as the catalyst to worldwide trading, thus allowing
countries to access foreign products. Although this had positive effects, it also posed a
real threat to the merchandise of local traders. Second, globalization affected the
financial market. As a result, different countries had more access to funds, and the
exchange in national currencies dramatically increased. Finally, globalization also led to
the privatization of various facilities, such as public health institutions. These institutions
were being privatized due to the idea that the private sector can better manage and
provide health services. In consequence, health policies become more and more of a
commodity on a global scale.

Here is the perfect system for cleaning your room. First, move all of the items that do not
have a proper place to the center of the room. Get rid of at least five things that you have
not used within the last year. Take out all of the trash, and place all of the dirty dishes in
the kitchen sink. Now find a location for each of the items you had placed in the center of
the room. For any remaining items, see if you can squeeze them in under your bed or
stuff them into the back of your closet. See, that was easy!
