Oh Globalization, How I Love You

'Ello! Happy EASTER, everyone! Thanks for joining in this week's blog. Everyone has heard of globalization at least once in their lives but what is it? And is it good or bad for our planet??
SWell I'm glad you asked! (kinda) Globalization basically has to do with the distribution and trade of goods and services from country to country in order to increase the global relationships of cutlure, people, and economic activity.
But is it a good thing? SOUNDS LIKE IT!
It creates a lot of jobs for employees, it creates better relationships between countries that can benefit the entire world. It promotes global trust and it has increased the speed of travel, communication, and information accessibility through the internet!
But, yes it does have some problems. It causes the high class to get richer and the lower class to get poorer. So it isn't really benefiting necessarily everybody in the world; just the rich people.
HOWEVER, stay with me. I think that globalization is still a very good thing that happened to the world because  it is clear that the pro's outweigh the con's. Although, it does make the lower class even poorer and causes them to work under bad conditions, I believe that countries have advanced due to this.
But what is your opinion on this? Comment in the section below!
Thank you and keep coming back for next week's blog! :D

  1. I don't wanna come back.
    I don't think globalization "FORCES" lower class people to work for them. If they don't wanna work in the factory, they can work somewhere else for even less. But they choose to.
    SOOO YEAH. Nice blog though.

  4. I disagree with your biased opinion of making the poor poorer. When it comes down to it, persons who would have been farming for rice and potatoes just to live to the next day who can now work in a factory for money to pay for vanities such as television shows an amazing increase in global wealth distribution.

  6. Well Raul to some extent, while it is true that the statement "poor getting poorer" is biased, the poor are only partially benefiting 14 percent of off globalization. Guess who consumes the rest.
