Choose the incorrect statements on impact of Globalisation. (A) Globa…

The correct answer is Option (2) → (A) and (E) only

(A) Globalisation decreased the job insecurity among working class Incorrect statement. Globalisation affects us all, but differently: for some it means new opportunities, for others the loss of livelihood. The women silk spinners and twisters of Bihar lost their jobs once cheaper Chinese and Korean silk yarn entered the market. So it has increased, not decreased, job insecurity for many workers.

(B) Globalisation led to staggering growth of private satellite television Correct statement. In 1991 there was one state-controlled channel, Doordarshan; privately run satellite channels have multiplied since the mid-1990s. The staggering growth of private satellite television has been one of the defining developments of contemporary India.

(C) Globalisation became a threat to indigenous craft and traditions Correct statement. The condition of many indigenous craft and literary traditions and knowledge systems shows the link between globalisation and culture: the sheer scale and intensity of change threatens them.

(D) Globalisation changed the culture of consumption Correct statement. Cultural consumption — of art, food, fashion, music and tourism — now shapes to a large extent the growth of cities, as the spurt in shopping malls shows.

(E) Globalisation became bogey to promote unjust practices against women Incorrect statement. A bogey is an imagined danger used to frighten people. Those who hold a narrow idea of cultural identity point to globalisation as a danger to defend undemocratic practices against women, from sati to keeping women out of education. Globalisation is the bogey that is held up; it does not itself promote these practices. One verb, ‘promote’ put in place of ‘defend’, turned a true line false, so weigh the verbs as carefully as the nouns.
