Nothing is wrong with globilization

Wouldn't a world that peaceful and happy be boring?

And if we move away from a money based system to one of love, how will one purchase things? Hugs and kisses?

 

sarcasm is a motivated through fear. there is enough resources for all humans to live happily and in a way that isnt damadging the planet. when we move away from system based around currency that is based on debt and credit and move into a system that is orientated around the better good of both humans and the planet we inhabit then we may all find true happiness and true freedom. working 5 days a week in a job that serves no true purpose just so u can survive is not true freedom >_< living in a guilt based system is not true freedom >_< our global society is in a state of vast sikness.

 

p.s im not just some airy fairy hippy love and flowers living in a dream type. i just have a powerful belief in human rights and equality. and have a massive amount of love for the earth. alot of people in the western world are unable to see through the viel of self motivated action greed etc to see the worth and the good in action motivated for the betterment of the whole. it is sad. where are these peoples hearts and souls. it really does hurt me to see humans treating humans in this way and humans treating there creator there sustainer there life blood in this way.

 

i support globalization in theory, but in practice, or i suppose where its at now, i dont.

 

Globalization is just a fancy word for consolidation, and in every instance where I see "consolidation" (bigger is better) has caused far more trouble than it solved. It just becomes a larger vessel for evil to get a foot hold.

There would be nothing wrong with maintaining closer ties globally if it were done in a POSITIVE fashion, still allowing for localization and different cultures, but trying to form a one world government or globalizing all goods and services just serves to make the monster bigger and stronger. It's too big, and thus too difficult to control.

Think of it as a basket of apples. If the basket is small enough to be manageable, if a couple apples rot it's easier to find them and get them out so they don't spread the rot. But if you had a whole silo full of apples, if some start to rot, you might not even notice until too many are already too far gone and then the mess becomes to big and the whole lot has to be thrown out.

 

In America the rotten apples always seem to find their way to the top of the silo.

Globalization requires regulation and government oversight to prevent exploitation and fraud, but then the inefficiencies of big management and bloated executive salaries render it infeasible, and government subsidies used to prop them up are a waste of money.

 

I wholeheartedly agree!

 

If there were no money (if ressources were adequately distributed) globalization would work.

 

There is alot wrong with globalization my friend, its not a neccesary step of human solidarity, its multinational corporations taking over.
Imagine if coca-cola ran the world?

 

Didn't globalization already happen?

 

Look back on history...In any society that has grown beyond the homogenous group, there has always been massive corruption and disregard for humanity. Human evolution has nothing to do with globalization. Individuals who are primarily motivated by greed support cross border economics and globalization as they understand that the shear scope of the undertaking makes smaller homogenous groups susceptible to the types of abuses underway. The advancement of human evolution must consider the resources available and distribute wealth equally too ensure that all benefit from the condition.

 

mai...you praise the rise of the middle class in china, yet they still have a repressive system of government. the reality of globalization for china is that due to poor oversite and lax to non-exsistent environmental laws, china has become the most polluted country in the world and the longer term effects of this system are beginning to manifest themselves in the sharp rise of the incidents of cancer and other health concerns. Capitalism is about greed, plain and simple. Regardless of the cost, people want wealth and kill for it any myriad numbers of ways.

 

who would be running this global system of yours?

Im sure they would favor the people local to them compared to the ones furthest away no?

 

Actually, there could be reasoning to the statement about globalisation … ‘it's a necessary step of human solidarity’

I have no idea what the OP is thinking, but on some level there is truth.

As long as workers across the world are focused on national based struggles … i.e. issues relating to national governments, national companies, etc, … a united international working class will be very difficult to impossible to achieve.

As globalisation increases so would the connection between the world’s workers ... the existence of a common enemy speaks for itself … the more The System centralises itself, the closer the world gets to Revolution.

One Love!

 

Revolution seems the only way civilians can achieve any goal, simple reasoning doesn't work. Try taking care of some land in the city, they will come poison it for no reason at all and go about their business as if nothing happened.

 

Agreed. Globalization has the opposite effect.

 

Okay, if we can all agree that globalization is probably going to happen whether we like it or not, why don't we speak about what can be done? If things are starting to/going to be so homogenized, don't you think that that fosters creativity? ie. the creativity to step even farther out of the norm. Just a thought. I hate companies like Wal-Mart, but the fact of the matter is that they're winning. Maybe just finding the positive in the situation is the smart thing at this point. Call me "defeated", but it's just how I feel.

 

i can relate to that rxtravil... i don't know that there is any humanitarian way forward when you have "globalisation" inextricably linked to "capitalism" (the monster that exploits and devours and demands profit to survive)... i just have faith that change occurs, no matter what we do, and the way of nature, being what it is, will find a balance somewhere, somehow...

 

Too many tribes for this to actually work out, but they will probably force it down our throats for awhile before the wheels fall off. It seems to be designed to make the rich even richer, and we working people will be forced into involuntary servitude. Our next evolutionary step is actually for each individual to realize that we all must begin to live a sustainable lifestyle, which cuts out these middlemen who want to exist off the labor of others, and we will all be able to enjoy the actual fruits of our work without being taxed into oblivion by over controling governmental organizations, who themselves are controled by Big Money and corporate intrigue.

 

well said!!! :iagree:
