Question: How has globalization affected the book industry?

Sample Answer (The AREA technique):

Answer: Globalization has had both positive and negative effects on the book industry.

Reason: With the advent of globalization, books are now accessible worldwide, and this has increased the market for books. Publishers can reach a wider audience and earn more revenue. On the other hand, globalization has also led to the decline of small independent bookstores, which are unable to compete with larger chain stores.

Example: For instance, the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling has been a global phenomenon and has been translated into over 80 languages, making it accessible to readers worldwide.

Alternative: In addition to the book industry, globalization has also affected various other industries such as technology and fashion.
