Reference from NCERT:

If we look for examples of the use of the term ‘globalisation’ in real life, we will realise that it is used in various contexts. Let us look at some examples:

Some farmers committed suicide because their crops failed. They had bought very expensive seeds supplied by a multinational company (MNC).

An Indian company bought a major rival company based in Europe, despite protests by some of the current owners.

Many retail shopkeepers fear that they will lose their livelihoods if some major international companies open retail chains in the country. (C)

A film producer in Mumbai was accused of lifting the story of his film from another film made in Hollywood.

A militant group issued a statement threatening college girls who wear western clothes. (A)

These examples show us that globalisation need not always be positive; it can have negative consequences for the people.
