Chanda(2007) showed that although globalization has shrunk the world & information is now accessible to anyone, anywhere, anytime, it has lead to environmental degradation and global warming. These environmental concerns are known to the world audience as informations are now made easier to spread internationally and quickly. The harm that globalization caused the environment was a price to pay when countries seek to expand their economy and the increasing need to exploit natural resources are inevitable. Though there are some acts of prevention, like the Kyoto Protocol, it does not suffice since not all parties are willing to abide by the restricted regulations that may compromise growth. Even though there is no definite control of this global phenomenon, governments, political leaders and international institution have a direct influence to the ever changing course of globalization.

Hi Ipin
Detailed summary covering the key main points of the article. Concise writing, making it easy to read.
Here are some tenses:
1) "it has lead to environmental degradation and global warming."
>> Led as your summary is mainly written in past tense...
2) These environmental concerns are known to the world audience as informations
>> "informations" change to "information"
Hi Ipin,
I like how your summary is so concise! I spotted something minor, which is the the result of carelessness. You used "&" instead of "and" I believe the reason is that we are too used to using short forms.
Good summary!
Thanks Jared and Jeremy. Really appreciate your comments. It's true, I'm so used to writing short form that I always type 'u' instead of 'you'! haha.
Smiles,
Ipin
