It covers the macro changes of climate and environment as well as the changes on human living, politics, economy, trade, legal system, civil societies and transportation from a relative micro view. It does not only connect people in the Earth closer, but as Theodore Panayotou stated that it is an integration that encompasses economic integration, political interaction and information and information technology and culture.
By increasing the interaction and degree of dependence of countries, the correlation can be positive in some aspects in some countries, but it can also create negative output not only affect to the counterparts but to the overall mankind.
Among the pros and cons evidences from different viewpoints, we would agree that the commonest interest of mankind is the lives of human being in the planet. And natural environment is exact what we share and commonly own.
Therefore, in this paper, we will examine the linkage of Globalization and Environment followed by the argument on the environmental impacts brought by Globalization. At the end, we will conclude how to extend the benefit of Globalization to the environment yet to minimize the impact.

As a multidimensional process of integration, Globalization leads to the changes in distant lands affect people around the globe more quickly, and with greater frequency and intensity. China as one of the fastest growing countries in last century, in order to absorb Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), technology and to speed up her domestic modernization, China leveraged her huge population to offer cheap labor force for the worldwide manufacturers. Caught to the trend of Globalization, the joining of WTO further confirmed her keenness to integrate with the world. Globalization does not only connect people in the Earth closer, but as Theodore Panayotou stated that it is an integration that encompasses economic and political interaction and information technology and culture sharing. It brought both positive and negative impacts to China and her people. Next to physical improvement of living standard of the people, we were more concerning on the change of status of human right in China under the trend of Globalization. With the largest population, this 2nd largest of economic entity offered 25% of labor force in the world. The division of labor, the application of standardization and adoptation of foreign production management system equipped China with unique competitive advantage to be the world factory. However, accompanied with the increasing foreign reserve accumulated through manufacturing and export, has the basic right of the Chinese labor force been improved or benefited by Globalization? The criticism on long working hour, use of child labor, low compensation and benefit and poor working environment undermine the harmony of the society , and the large scale worker strike and demonstration in Yu Yuen Industrial Holding Limited on 14 April 2014 drew the mass attention of human right organizations. Therefore, in this paper, we would first discuss the basic human right and labor right, and then specifically discuss the impact of Globalization to the labor right in China. By studying the real life examples and the reports raised by Non-Government Organizations, we aimed to draw a solid conclusion on the current labor right status in China under the impact of globalization.

It stated the democratic nations will not go to war against each other, and if there is conflict between democratic countries, both of them would prefer to solve problems by peaceful discussion rather than using of military power and war. It is an extension of Liberalism and it can also be elaborated as “mutual democratic pacifism” which is under a hypothesis of Inter-democracy nonaggression. DPT raised THREE main concepts: Liberal Democracy, Democratic Politics and International Political Institutions. There is a strong correlated causal logic among these three concepts resulted into two fundamental elements of peace. First of all, the basic spirit of democracy to respect human being and trust to the others will encourage mutual cooperation rather than conflict; secondly, the institutional constriction such as division of authority, public and group constraints will eliminate the probability of war. However, the nondemocratic countries are lacking of these elements and could not share the common value with the democratic. In the Enlightenment Era, Charles Montesquieu, the French political thinker advocated that the country should move forward from monarchy to republic in “The Spirit of the Laws”. He believed the ideology of national expansion can be replaced by the spirit of peace and liberty was sustained by a balance of power, and peace would come true. In 1775, Immanuel Kant, the German philosopher firstly raised the framework of DPT. In his “Perpetual Peace”, he stated that a majority of the people would prefer peace rather than war, and if the government was elected from the democratic system, it should obey to the will of the majority so that war would not be happened unless in self-defense. However, the Napoleon war in late 18th century aroused Nationalism in Europe and built the root of hostile for the future war. In 1814, the Anglo-French war which ended the ambition of Napoleon, and the Congress of Vienna, the first international meetings attempted to forge a peaceful balance of power in Europe. The concept of Realism became the main stream of maintaining world peace. Nevertheless, followed by armament race among several European countries, such as Britain, Germany, France, and Russia in early 20th century as well as the outbreak of two great wars and the failure of League of Nations broke the causal logic of balance of power and peace. So starting from 1970s, the Democratic Peace Theory had been reset. Since the DPT was originated from ideology, its different stand point from Realism aroused a series of debate and research, and also influenced the view of politicians. Apart from the dominant Realists who believed on Balance of power and Balance of Threat, Liberalists brought out the idea of International Institution, International Economic regime, Economic dependence and Democratic Peace Theory. In 1990s, the cold war ended with the victory of the western democratic powers. And so Democratic Peace became the popular theory to elaborate the international relationship. DPT did not only promote the cause of peace, but also, as Professor Bruce Russett from Yale University concluded that all nations should go for democracy so the world peace can be achieved. However, I believe the fact is those countries, either democratic or nondemocratic, they just put the focus on post-war construction; so relatively, there was no great war among these countries in this period. And since USA, Western Europe & Japan already formed the alliance after the war, how come can they fight? But it did not mean there is peace among the continentals . The Korea War in 1950s, Vietnam War in 1960-70s, the British-Argentina Falklands War in 1980s, Gulf War in 1990s, and US-Afghanistan War in 2001, air-force attack to Libya did not come up with a peaceful world. Most of the wars involved democratic nations such as United States and United Kingdom. It seems the DPT can only explain part of the history in a specific timeframe. In this essay, I would start by reviewing the opinions of the proponents and the opponents of DPT followed by clarifying the definition of key words. I would then evaluate its hypothesis and logic with historical examples, and then to elaborate my view points from the aspect of humanity.

Indeed, delayed marriage brought positive and negative impacts to the society. The supporting opinions asserted late marriage at mature age would help to keep a stable relationship and reduced the divorce rate. From personal aspect, both parties gained much more degree of freedom to pursue own achievement, and assumed the accumulation of economy power according to growth of age, it would provide a better environment and living standard to next generation. The opponent argued the late marriage would result in lower birth rate; the elder pregnant woman would increase the risk of infant mortality rate. In long run, it would accelerate the problem of aging population such as medical expense and limited the economic development due to decreasing of labor force in future. Therefore, as part of the population policy, it is necessary to find out the reasons and their importance of different factors which cause Delayed Marriage.
