Conclusion Paragraph:
The conclusion to the matter of fact here is that being globally connected is a good thing mostly. There may be a bad side too, but the good side is what will be more important to us. We may change a little, but we still have outside sources. Being globally connected through economy gives us vast choices to import, export, research, and so on. We can import more and export more as well. We can conduct research on the best measures of how to do these things for our benefit. Being globally connected through culture lets us see the outside world and how their culture is. We may change a little, but we still get that important knowledge on whats out there. We are connected and that is a good thing for culture. Being globally connected by environment is a good thing too because whatever good things we do, the area around you will get affected. Even with pouring, dumping, and waisting, we all can reduce that to minimal affects and start doing good things to help the environment. It is good being connected because we have more news and a vast choices of doing things.
