Thesis statement
The paper argues that although globalization has brought a positive impact with sustainable
development in most of the countries around the world in the context of environment,
economy and society, however it has certain number of limitations in respect to the same
aspect, which have been detailed in this paper.
Introductory paragraph
Globalization plays a vital in the overall financial and economic growth of the counties. It is
the movement of services, people and product across the globe in a flawless and incorporated
manner. It is a consequence of the expansion up of the worldwide nation and the associated
increase in business between countries.
Argument A
With the beginning of globalization, Canada has a drastic impact on country, politics and the
sustainable development. There was clear proof that before globalization came into existence,
the economic growth of Canada was poor, but due to the impact of globalization, the
economic growth and sustainability started to develop due to expansion in technology and
capital.
Supporting 1A
The Canadian government has improved the standard of living of the people by shielding the
human health, protecting the conservative environment, by effectively using resources and
moving forward for long-term financial competitive advantage (Noe et al., 2017).

Therefore, Canada’s central ecological priorities, sets up objective and targets and recognize
actions to attain them.
Supporting 3A
The government of Canada takes actions against worldwide challenges such as weather
change; ecological degradation and indefensible use of sea resources that demand better
collaboration among all nations and stakeholders (Lindsey, 2017).

So what
The Canadian Government has achieved reliable and fair efforts to progress all the three
proportions of sustainable development: environmental, social and economic
Argument B
The Canadian nation globalizes as nationwide economies incorporate into the global market
through business; foreign direct investment; capital inflows; global progress of worker,
education system and course of technology.
Supporting 1b
Information technology flow has connected employees and citizens across oceans that have
led to the rise of global resolution and prosperity (Berry, 2013). The rate of information
technology industry helps to converse more consistently with the people living across the
world.

So what
Manufacturing import and export of raw material add to gross domestic product and foreign
direct investment by dealing with foreign countries. A wonderful change in
telecommunication provides to maintain a good and healthy relation with foreigners that
revolve out to be effectual in performing business and global trade within nations.

So what
The development in technology and education system has changed the form of Canadian
society. The rising trade in abroad affected the customary living of the people.
Argument C:
The third argument for this research may include the positive impact of environmental
degradation on the process of globalization.
Supporting Statement #1 for Argument C

COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY EDUCATION
In order to support the third argument, it can be said that, one of the major goals of
globalisation is sustainable development. Again, globalization also ensures free trade as well
as industrialization. This again leads to environmental degradation. Environmental
degradation, in turn, hampers the sustainable development. This creates pressure on the
process of globalization to take necessary step to prevent environmental degradation and
achieve its goal of sustainable development. Thus the pressure created by environmental
degradation acts as catalyst in the fulfillment of the aims and objectives of globalization
(Zafar, 2019).

environmental quality: evidence from selected countries in the Organization for Economic Co-
operation and Development (OECD). Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 1-17.
So what
As a significance of this statement, it can be said that environmental pollution has been
proved an essential factor in the acceleration of globalization.
Supporting Statement #2 for Argument C:
According to the second statement to support this argument, environmental degradation
emphasizes on the development of environment friendly technology of production, which in
turn, accelerates technological advancement and leads to industrialization as well as
sustainable development (Destek, 2019).

So what
As a significance of this statement it can be said that, the problems regarding environmental
pollution raise the concern of the developed countries who are fully participating in the
process of globalisation, an they come forward to accelerate the development of ‘green
manufacturing plats’ ‘emission controlling technologies and sustainable development and
expansion of industries become possible without harming the environment.
C3.Supporting Statement #3 for Argument C:
According to the third supporting statement for this argument, environmental degradation
inspires the adoption of recycling technology. This recycling technology has been adopted by
many developed countries. Adoption of this technology has enabled those countries to
incorporate an easy and effective waste management process, collect raw materials at a
cheaper cost, and opt for a less expensive production process. This in turn assists them to
incur profits and the growth of the economies of developed countries has been accelerated.
This is true even for some of the developing countries. Thus, the influence of environment
degradation has fulfilled another objective of globalization, which is economic development
(Izarali, 2019).

COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY EDUCATION
As a significance of this statement, it can be said that as a prevention of environmental
degradation recycle technology has been adopted this technology aids developing country
two ways to achieve sustainable development and attain globalisation. Sustainable
development requires waste management as well as industrial development. Recycling of
wastes helps to manage wastes and produce raw materials as well as productive land for
farming at a cheaper cost, this enable agriculture based economy of the developing country
like India to incur more profit from agriculture and form capital for industrialisation and
attain sustainable development as well as globalisation.
Conclusion
In the conclusion, it can be said that both the globalization and environmental degradation
influences each other and this accelerates the achievement of sustainable development as well
as globalization.

This article shows how the environment, in the developing countries are negatively
influenced by globalisation and casts upon a reverse impact on the process of globalisation.
This article argues that the attempts of developing countries to adopt eco-friendly
technologies is basically induced by the pressure created by environmental degradation on
globalisation (Yan, 2019).
