A specific area of globalization based in Germany is the Automobile Industry. Many cars that are produced come from Germany, for example, BMW, Volkswagen, Mercedes, Audi, and Porsche. Apparently more German cars were produced on foreign soil than in Germany for the first time (Heymann, 2011). This can provide many benefits to the customers of the automobiles. Shipping costs are cheaper, wage costs are lower, custom duties are avoided, and the production facilities in other countries allow for avoiding exchange rate fluctuations (Heymann, 2011). I see my example of globalization as a help to Germany because they are getting the name out there and more production companies are being produced all over the world. I believe that women benefit from this globalization more than men do because usually men are the ones that know more and work more on automobiles so their jobs are being taken away from them.
There are three good examples of global interdependence in Germany. The first example is Environment. A good way to protect the environment by using global interdependence is create institutions that manage specific issues like deforestation, shared water resources, and other environment issues (Pintasilgo, 1990). Also that toxic waste should be disposed of properly and not sent into developing countries or tossed in the ocean or sea (Pintasilgo, 1990). The second example is Energy. A way to save energy by using global interdependence is to launch a research program about the development of renewable energy sources, specifically for nuclear fusion, solar energy, and geothermal energy (Pintasilgo, 1990). We could also find places for stable and safe nuclear waste disposal and procedures for neutralizing nuclear reactors (Pintasilgo, 1990). Finally the last example is human rights. A way to protect human rights by using global interdependence is to recognize and protect the right that individuals have to monitor the government’s investigation of human rights (Pintasilgo, 1990). The recognition of the principal of free access and unhindered movement of onlookers in elections will help protect human rights (Pintasilgo, 1990). The interdependence is economic, and cultural. It focuses on both human aspects as well as focusing on the environment and resources.
